Completeness in motion, Ever changing and ever Permanent, An exquisite, intricate Blossoming Of all of Nature’s Offering To the Lord.

Everywhere in the country up until yesterday large, even huge figures of Lord Ganesha gloriously decked out and adorned were paraded across villages and towns and cities to their immersion and return to the One – to Brahman – to Universal Formlessness. Perhaps not all of these expressions manifest here, in this local representation of Sri Ganesh whose abode this place is, and perhaps too there are expressions here that are not widely encountered elsewhere… I wonder = what is this path I am treading, this service I am doing, day after day…?
