with Sri Ganesh

Holds a key To a larger and truer Becoming –

And thus you stand in welcome, With a comforting mien, ready to be addressed And to bless…

… I had to remove another large hoarding board advertising for some housing development, which had been, last night probably, attached onto the wall and was almost covering the Auroville symbol… … During the Aarti I almost faint from sheer, acute, active sleepiness, and I had then to sit in the Riddhi room easy-chair for a moment; it is very odd…

Sri Ganesh, Delightful Ganesha,

You thrill with the blooms Of the Shakti’s treasure, As you stand by the way And await At the crossing –

Massive, impassive, Yet wholly refined And Vibrant,

Your figure is itself A living threshold That must be Activated By the movement of genuine And trusting Offering –

And you radiate Her blooms and Her Light…

Aum.
