with Sri Ganesh

jokes and taking half of the flowers which Parthy had brought; Parthy was still very upset about it… Now, M. must have left with his father to their home place, where they plan to hold some special function this week for the new house his father has just completed (M. had informed me of his coming absence when he had come to return the cylinder) and I have now my usual complete routine restored…

Sri Ganesh, Again today you appear As a great Symphony, A rich sweep of moving sound, Ample and deep, A liquid flowing organ Carried on fiery, rhythmic wind And yet tranquil, Sure, Integral…

In the evening, as I finish watering the garden and the sky is darkening with heavy rain clouds, Hemant, Divya and their child come in for an unexpected visit; they were in fact looking for M. who, it seems, has locked Tatiana’s cat in her house by mistake; they offer to Sri Ganesh Rs. 10/-

… A little rain came during the night and the temperature has dropped several degrees, but the heat is still heavy…

Today, Sri Ganesh, you are, In a world that is torn and cloven, Like an anchor, A steady base of true Riches, Firm and secure beyond All storms –

You who are Her Guardian And Her emissary, You stand, unmoved And constant, At the very passage
