with Sri Ganesh

when it is significant in relation to my meditations or when a donation is made of Rs 10 and above.)

Sri Ganesh, You hold the beauty Of the fire of Love, Borne on the white Peaceful tide Of smiling eternity, And you come With a tinkle of bells, Fresh and cool and tender,

Joy bursting Ceaselessly And your sweetness Is the milk Of the Shakti.

… On the “boys” invitation, Manikandan has gone to the summer camp in the hills for a few days, where they are supposed to help out with the preparations of the site. Thus, I am back to my earlier routine, which I need to re-invent a little; but I am content with it. In fact, Manikandan’s presence on a daily basis is a sweet and mostly quiet complement, but not a necessity, in the sense that I can take full care of the place without stress and I feel also more at ease in my service to Sri Ganesh when alone. It was mainly to help him out and provide him an atmosphere for the time being that I agreed, some months ago, to let him stay here. However, there are days, or moments, when the quiet harmony generated by both of our services becomes tangible and I appreciate it.

… Again, a bus load of students from Kuillapallayam High School came in to seek Sri Ganesh’s blessings for their exams…

Sri Ganesh, Sometimes you let yourself be seen,

Immobile and puissant, A silent reminder to all Of the cosmic stairs
