Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

You are the one too Who provided Protection And you are the one, Now and always Who stands vigil at Her Gates, Welcoming

Her returning souls – Your friendly majesty Is filled with Piercing knowledge

And your silent embrace Is a wealth of living light, And you keep all instruments Ready For Her works... (29-08-09)

* 8-14

Today, Sri Ganesh, With a piercing perfection And loveliness You appear As more than a bridegroom And other than a bride, You appear as A creative sum – You seem to Be The act and power Of the wedding itself – You are in your very Form and countenance The very movement and delight Of marriage And, As you lead the tribes along The path of the Lord, They know that all their yearnings Are held and offered And will be answered… Aum.
