Sri Ganesh
Today you appear and stand
As a Vedic King
Whose dense and august bearing
Is infused
With the light of Agni –
As the sacrifice has been done
Truthfully
You have stepped
In full view
To dispense and to share
In ordained measures
The wealth that issued
From the offered Fire,
From the offered souls,
From the offered energies –
For the only kingdom you rule
Is that
Of true Prosperity =
Whenever and wherever
Forces and beings
Have realized and rejoined
The Supreme’s
One Intent
In All…

At once majestic and tender,
Sri Ganesh,
You have come to be seen and to give audience
In the great self-luminous hall
Of Truth and Peace –
Immobile and alert,
Your many attributes half-hidden
Beneath your robes,
You watch, you see and you know,
