with Sri Ganesh

Parthy came before me this morning and started the work so that I could drive down to town to get X-rays done of my pelvis and right hip. For about two months Joan has tried to help me with this blockage of the legs, through careful manipulations of the spine and teaching me a set of exercises I did not know. Eventually he felt it necessary to get a second advice from a regular allopathic osteopath and orthopedist and sent me to one he knew, who, of course, instructed me to get these X-rays at once before he could pronounce… I reach here only at 9.15 am… … A solid fellow, well dressed and very polite, who sometimes comes to pray, offers Rs. 10/-.

Sri Ganesh, You appear Yourself As A brazier, Calm and rich and profound, A jeweled bridge From darkness to light – From the infinite immobility That allows Matter To accrete And mass to form and aggregate, To the white eternity that calls For freedom and delight –

Your brazier is cultured and Caring,

Its wealth Is tranquil And knowing, Beautiful Ganesha…
