Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

A ubiquitous jester And soldier of the Mother, Your entire figure suffused With the finest and deepest Knowledge – You may don the richest garbs, As you may wear The pilgrim’s robe, But at every turn And in every guise, The greatest dignity And the most refined elegance Are the signature Of your Auspicious Appearance, Ganeshji, Crowned with rich fire, Giver of harmony… (11-08-11) Sri Ganesh, You are at once the most Public figure And the most secret – Who can indeed understand The routes you travel To reach the goals you set, Who can comprehend your ends, Who can grasp Your tasks – Of clearing, of channeling, Of witnessing…? Today the Shakti is your Right half And the Lord is Your left, With Agni your mount Embraced * 12-68
