with Sri Ganesh

And glowing With the treasures of harmony –

And your mount Is awaiting, All is in Readiness, Sri Ganesh –

Seated calm and strong In the shelter Of Her infinite Power, Wearing the stars, the light And the blooms Of Her beautiful universe, You welcome the soul With blessings

And the keys To the Lord’s Becoming…

… In the afternoon I went to the market to purchase new stocks of incense, oils and camphor, for which I spent Rs. 665/-

… Arriving here I found a couple waiting at the gate; both in their early fifties, I have known the man and worked with him many years ago, his is a very familiar face, almost like seeing a relative after long, even though I do not recall his name... They have come with puja offerings to seek Sri Ganesh’s blessings on the occasion of their thirty years of married life… They offer Rs. 10/- … Today I did the accounting and the physical check of Sri Ganesh’s money and found there is quite a bit more than what I have entered; perhaps coins have accumulated several times and I converted them into notes without writing it down? At any rate, it is a normal law of increase…

Today Sri Ganesh you come As the Friendly Presence Appearing here and there On the battlefield,
