with Sri Ganesh

- 14-04-09:

It is Tamil New Year Day… A few more people came in today and, among them, Arunasalam came with his wife and offered Rs. 100/- to Sri Ganesh, while others, I am not sure who, offered Rs. 20/-

Sri Ganesh, You are the great Kavi And wear Her sign, A single self-gathered Jewel as your crown, And you stand On the way, At ease, Fully knowing,

And from you issues Nourishing harmony, An intricate, delightful foam Of surrendered energies, A tenderness as of A friendly sea To sustain the path Of right Becoming –

Satyam Ritam Brihat.
