with Sri Ganesh

… Now only, this afternoon, when I can at last sit quietly before Sri Ganesh, alone, I realize that what has “appeared” is:

A Universal King in motion –

The majesty is entire, the freedom is absolute, the mission is eternal, yet the act is within Time and the reign is within the truth of Material Nature and, more importantly perhaps, Sri Ganesh is united with the Supreme’s Presence in Matter…

… Yesterday afternoon and evening till past 8 pm, Parthy and Anand helped me with the preparations and, this morning, Parthy got up at 5 am to fetch baskets of fresh flowers… … Suresh Dey, his wife and two of his relatives did the singing; Brice and Auroshri played flute; after 11 am, Kamala, Uma and Bitti chanted the Aarti… Altogether perhaps 200 people came in the morning.
