Sri Ganesh,
Lovely Warrior King,
A deep comfort is
The mere fact of your auspicious appearance
On the battlefield,
Or
At the crossing of the bridge,
Splendid and benign,
Massive and refined,
Incomprehensible and yet
The intimate friend
Of all,
The companion
At once singular
And universal
At every stage of the process –
Yes,
One draws comfort and courage
From the riches about you
And the high beauty
Of your
Adornments –
Son of the Shakti,
Her first soldier
And
Emissary…
Aum.

Sri Ganesh is magnificent,
Appearing with a powerful,
Refined elegance,
A celebration
And a highly anchored
Language
Of force and form,
