And quieten…
Your beauty, Sri Ganesh,
Knows no borders…

Today you appear as
The great Mahaganapathy,
In full amplitude and mystery,
With a sort of ancient austerity
That does not shun wealth
But turns it or converts it
Into more silent
Powers of being,
Yet lets it foam and shimmer
Like an ornate fringe
Of promise…

Sri Ganesh, you stand freely
At the head of your army
And move among its ranks
Like an ageless
Elder brother –
Attired with trust and joy,
Your generous figure
Turns the battle into
Ever creative progress
For the growth and the spread
Of true knowledge
And the strengthening
Of the will to serve –
Your leadership, Sri Ganesh,
Is a quiet celebration
Welcoming the bounty
Of the Lord’s Delight
On the far side
Of Victory…
