with Sri Ganesh

… These days, perhaps since the new wall has been constructed, I wish that the connection of Sri Ganesh to the life and future of Auroville may become more substantial… And I don’t feel it is quite right that, as I leave here at noon every day and switch off the main light and shut the door to the shrine, all this beauty of expression is then withheld…

Sweet Ganesha, Brother and Friend, Your breath is a flow Of Her Light, Coursing through The Qualities In Matter –

Attentive, tender is your poise, Today, As you absorb, Integrate And render The offerings To Her…

… These are personally sensitive days… it is 7 years since I had to leave Matrimandir. And also, in the yearly cycle, it is a period of vulnerability for both Parthy and me, and I get easily upset and worried and he gets easily confused…

… The headman attends the Aarti like a silent child, and then he offers Rs. 10/-

Sri Ganesh, Joyful Minstrel of the Mother, Your prancing is rich With a wealth of happy trust In the essential destiny Of all – In the Court Of the Mahashakti You draw with your steps
