with Sri Ganesh

From the upper countries, Heavy with luminous honey Yet erect and majestic And the power of Grace glows Upon your brows And the way is strewn With the pearls and gems Of the Shakti’s beautiful Creation...

One must find the balance Between yielding or enduring in any way The destructive falsity of separateness, And willfully ignoring it or pretending It is not a threat – A balance made of trust and knowledge, Of love and force and endurance... Aum.

Sri Aurobindo’s Mahasamadhi Day – it is also, for me, the day I first saw You, Mother, in Your room, 42 years ago...

... Venkatesh comes in with his wife and two of their relatives on the occasion of their wedding anniversary and they offer Rs. 50/-.

One with Agni, Filled with Shakti, Calmly brimming With the treasure, Seated in the inner room You give audience, The brother hidden in the king, Tenderness and authority Emanating equally From you – Having received your Blessings and protection One may proceed On the way With Aum in one’s heart...
