with Sri Ganesh

cyclone came in over Mahabalipuram and went inland over the area of Kancheepuram where it was the fiercest. J.P. has come with me and it takes the two of us quite a while to clear the gate and the main path from all the debris; there is no serious damage, though...

Aum Namo Bhagavate You sit in your forest abode, The roaming Knight Of the One, And you gaze and you watch, Dense with knowledge, Ageless, unattached, Yet wholly and eternally Loyal...

Aum Namo Bhagavate Sri Ganesh

... J.P. has come; he does good work in the garden...! ... A couple with their small boy come in to pray and offer Rs. 10/-; The fine fellow offers Rs. 20/-

Today you express, Sri Ganesh, Your Oneness With the Spirit of Nature And thus become a channel For deep and tender Homage And Reverence And Love profound For Her inexhaustible creativeness And Her eternal and constant Devotion To the Lord –

Exquisite is your figure, Sri Ganesh = It ought to put to shame All thieves and liars,

All abusers, All usurpers,
