Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

* 7-20

Today Sri Ganesh You have stepped onto The forest verge Bearing and herding about you A prosperous bounty And it is as if

Your figure multiplied, Surging anew and itself

On every road and crossways, A vibrating echo channeling The blessings and the call For progress – Fresh are the offerings you bear, Luminous the gentle hordes you herd – Aum. (19-06-10)

Sri Ganesh, Sweet, wide Ganesha, You are the Blessed Brother Who guards Her High Estate – Calmly seated at its verges, Knower of its infinite Riches, Just as you know the needs And the wants and hollows In the hearts of men, You welcome all

Who seek Her Grace, And yet will let no one She hasn’t called Enter Her domains – Sri Ganesh, Your harmony is Soothing and Nourishing
