with Sri Ganesh

Sri Ganesh, A simple yet complete Figure Linking all of creation With knowledge, Tenderness And delight; And then You quietly step forward As Her Festive Power In action, Fully knowing, Master of all Illusion.

… Manikandan is still in that mood of energy which wants to call attention, to provoke and it becomes a channel for disruption; it takes me a while to offer this sense of an assault and to move into the calm of the puja. And, later, as I am singing the Aarti, suddenly that fat politician rushes in, just like some rakshasa…! I do not see that it is him at first, as I merely strive to maintain poise, but his loud and careless intrusion jolts me; then he realizes his mistake and calms down and receives Aarti and Tilakam and he offers Rs. 50/-

You stand erect, Sri Ganesh, Unambiguously serving Maheshwari’s Infinity of Light, Erect on the ground Of the Shakti’s Puissance And you are still A Friend And a Brother –

Thus is the Sun One with the Milk Flowing Into the Truth
