with Sri Ganesh

Of the world –

Reclining in Her festive abundance, You lean out and shower Her gifts of honey and power, And act for Her –

She the Provider, She the Creator, She the Knower Of Becoming –

And thus a richness of perception Floods the attendance And as your chariot is wheeled Abroad Bedecked with Her treasures, Your smile is soft and tender, And your figure glows With her nourishing Hues and colors…

Sometimes, Sri Ganesh, your dance Is that of the trained Fighter, Tranquil yet nimble, Massively poised and yet

As fast as light, As quick to parry As to strike, Deeply elusive and yet Without fear, An unerring diviner Of all opponents’ moves, Yet detached and fair

And always ready With your dance

To embrace And offer…
