with Sri Ganesh

Arun also tells me he has gone to check closely the terms of the official document of agreement between Auroville and the National Highways, and it is plainly stated that Auroville has abandoned the well – and got the money to compensate for it…! However, Arun is quietly determined to save it; he suggests that we offer to modify the structure over the well and pump panel so as to encroach less on the maintenance area required by the Highway. … Krishna and his team have started early… … In retrospect I wonder whether I have been behaving like the proverbial ostrich, while wanting to believe I was making the effort to trust and offer…?! It is only when I am inside the shrine, preparing the puja and singing to Sri Ganesh, that I feel alright…

Sri Ganesh, Prince and Guardian of the Gate To the Shakti’s own domains And of the Path Of constant progress, Between life and death, Between gross and subtle matters, Is a place from which Great confusion may arise A poise through which May form and develop The capacity and ability To Serve Effectively The advent of a truer harmony… Or a great poise May be achieved,

Aum Namo Bhagavate…

Sri Ganesh, You are the Wise One In the Forest,
