with Sri Ganesh

- 13-01-11:

… The current supply went off at 9 am; perhaps this is why the puja took longer today, I do not know, but it is another of those inexplicable special days when Sri Ganesh seems to be more expressive…

And it is as if witnessing A rich emanation Of the Two in One, From Whom flow cascades Of creative harmony And stream out and deep Into the substance Secret arteries of delight –

Ye, it is as if Your figure, Sri Ganesh, In its permanence and ambiguity, Was itself a perfect channel Or translucent veil For the One Who is Two and becomes All that is, On its way to its true Manifestation…

The first day of Pongal, when discarded household things are burnt…

… The elder offers Rs. 10/-

Sri Ganesh, Secret King,

Knowing Indweller, You roam and amble And are immobile at the head Of the offering –

All obstacles are presented to you With the prayers,
