Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

Regal and profound you appear In the heart of the forest And your stance is that Of the Incorruptible – You wear a robe of foliage Spangled with stars of white light And your chest is glowing With the Shakti’s loving fire – Thus you travel Half-way to Matter, An ausp0icious provider, Knower of Her Infinite treasures – From there you may extend Your blessings with your trunk

And clear the way for those Whose motives are true... (07-11-09)

Sri Ganesh, you appear festive Today, A dancer and a clown and a king All in one,

But even as you jest And cavort and play Tender minstrelsies And, with generous humor, Mime the riddles Of existence, There is always the dignity That true knowledge Confers – When you dance Your knowledge, it spans and embraces The entire creation – And therefore

One turns to you To clear the way Constantly... Aum (10-02-10)
