Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

5-45

Sometimes Sri Ganesh You travel far and wide, The great Ambassador, With a silent retinue About you –

And thus you appear, attired in splendor, A stole of sun-born riches trailing from Your massive form filled With knowing calm – A neutral observer And a channel

For the Force which can Create and preserve and Annihilate – But the wealth of your garb Is both a reminder and A promise Of ever perfectible Harmony… Aum Namo Ganapataye (26-07-11)

* 5-46

Wherever you appear, Sri Ganesh,

That is, wherever you are invoked, Your compact figure becomes at once A link and a bridge – It joins the planes, Like the pillar of Agni, It is vested with Their native powers,

Yet distinct And free – For it belongs only To the Origin And The Shakti – Today Sri Ganesh
