with Sri Ganesh

All new beginnings And all births –

All stages of the journey –

For without this balance, There are no fundaments For the progress

And no base For adhesion And perseverance –

You are seated Before the offering, With the Lord and the Shakti Intertwined In one’s being, An influx

Of Love and Grace And creative energy That coalesce In peace…

Aum.

… Palani the digger is at work, excavating the trench for the foundations of the new wall, while his wife is tending their two youngest nearby… This man is to my feeling almost like a god…

… Someone, perhaps the veterinary, has offered Rs. 10/- before the puja and someone else another Rs. 10/- afterwards…

Today Sri Ganesh, You seem to be wrapped In the Light of the Grace, While by your sides Are gathered The sadhanas and tapasyas Of the ages, There to witness
