with Sri Ganesh

As you belong To the Origin Of everything –

And all paths become known To you

As you belong To the Goal –

And in that movement To and fro Is your permanence, Ye Keeper of the Treasure, Dispenser

Of the Blessings, Sun-filled mass Of Plenty…

… In the afternoon Parthy and I do a big clean-up of the garden, till almost dark…

- 15-01-11:

… Vijayakumari came in early to do her pranams – on leave for Pongal – and she exclaims at how clean and neat and bright everything is and how pleased Ganesha appears; she offers Rs. 10/- … A lady wearing festive dress comes in with her two daughters, a

little timidly, and offers Rs. 10/- The elder also offers Rs. 10/-

Sri Ganesh, You stand as the Link And the Surety

In the Great Fraternity Of Forces and Beings, Brother to Agni and Surya and Vayu, Brother to each and Every soul, A companion who cannot be Circumscribed –

You are like a rainbow bridge Across the universe
