with Sri Ganesh

Richly luminous –

Balanced and rhythmic In your posture And strong with the beauty Of Her creation –

And it is not austerity one senses, Nearing you, But a mastered brimming Of dedicated energy, A heaving of Self-expanding delight,

A welcoming density Of nourishing power...

- 28-02-10: The Birthday of Auroville, 42 nd year. It is also the day, this year, of the Maasi Maham, when all the gods are taken in processions for a dip in the ocean – the full moon day. Parthy does the puja and a group of foreign visitors comes to pay their respects; one of them, a lady, appears to have been very fond of Kusum and cries profusely, and they offer Rs. 120/-

- 01-03-10:

… The flower lady was not there this morning and I drove over here empty-handed, to find a small bag right inside the gate: an offering of a thick garland of fresh double pink oleander flowers, “Surrender of all Falsehood”… Today I had an entire busload of students from Kuillapallayam on their way to their exams…After the Aarti the headman offers Rs. 10/-

Because the Divine And It alone Is absolute, Because of That, Manifestation can be Infinite And no limits can be set To Diversity –
