Sri Ganesh,
Gathered, Condensed and Compacted,
Your whole figure can lodge
In a pearl of dew
As in a drop of blood,
The spirit of the form,
The atma of color,
The living heart
Of every savor and fragrance –
A secret gift of increase,
The puissant nectar
In all That IS –
A jeweled atom
Which can become
A great mass…

Sri Ganesh
You are the Dancing Pujari,
The Brother who feeds the Fire
Rhythmically
With the gathered offerings
Reaching the Yajna
From near and from afar
Constantly –
You are the one
Who monitors
The numberless figures
That speak your name
Near and far, here and there,
You are the One
Who channels all
Offerings to the Fire,
And the hordes of watchers
Bear witness
In the silence of the Act –
Sri Ganesh,
