with Sri Ganesh

Sri Ganesh, You seem to be,

With a gesture Slow and sure Of reaching out, Parting the ignorance Which veils the threshold Between the worlds – You have laid the ground, With nourishments And helpful flames, And your crown is agleam With the inner treasure –

And you smile, Tranquil Yet forceful In your mass...

Aum

... At noon Perumal comes in to pray and offers Rs. 10/-...

... Jean Pierre, who arrived yesterday from France, came with me this morning to see Sri Ganesh, offer flowers and serve through his work in the garden, cleaning and painting, etc. and, later, with Parthy and Giuseppe, we haul and fasten the new net between the Service and the Ashoka trees... ... AB Krishna comes in later to pray and to give me his news; he offers Rs. 10/-; Venkatesh comes with a cousin to do pranam and they offers Rs. 10/-

Sri Ganesh, Graceful is your welcome At the head Of the field of offerings –

These are the burning embers Of the ordeal,
