Perhaps the most enduring and constant
Aspect of your presence,
Sri Ganesh,
Is the sense of balance,
Of equilibrium –
It is as if, no matter
What play of forces
Is at work,
You will preserve
Or regain
The balance that is
Crucial
To Her Work –
Today you rise quietly
From the sacred base,
All equipped
For the task and the journey,
Calm and massive,
Yet light and ready.

One can be aware of everything as energy –
Forms are condensed energy and ride on waves of energy
And out of energy develops energy
Which becomes name and purpose
And fulfillment –
Where, then, are the knots that turn
Energy into
Immutable laws,
Inexorable determinisms
And unalterable rhythms
Of birth, growth and decay?
Sri Ganesh,
Son of the Shakti,
Bringer of Abundance
And Prosperity,
Here are the real obstacles
