Today I cannot do any puja, due to the painting work inside the temple; instead I wash and scrub the altar of the Shiva lingam…

I give Kandan the balance payment for his team’ work and all the materials consumed Rs. 3,100/- I also send an advance of Rs. 1,000/- to the flowers lady in Koot Road, for all the garlands which will be needed…

Sri Ganesha, You are splendid Today, A whole Constellation Of powers harmonized By the knowledge That comes From the love Of the Mother… Aum.

Kandan and his team have done a good work: the temple is luminous and neat again, rid of all the soot, and I was able to do a proper puja, with just the flowers from the garden…

Sri Ganesh, You are so beautiful And keen and bright And exquisite, A promise of Realizations to come…

Aum
