Readiness,
Sri Ganesh –
Seated calm and strong
In the shelter
Of Her infinite Power,
Wearing the stars, the light
And the blooms
Of Her beautiful universe,
You welcome the soul
With blessings
And the keys
To the Lord’s
Becoming…

Today Sri Ganesh you come
As the Friendly Presence
Appearing here and there
On the battlefield,
The Sustainer,
The Provider,
Who brings and conveys
Nourishment and valor,
Sharing with the warrior souls
Her Precise, Enlightening
Bounty –
Thus you come and stand
Suddenly
On the battlefield,
A brazier of knowledge
At your side,
Handing support as a brother,
And sharing Her Milk
Of Goodness
And Strength –
Lovely Ganesha,
The mere sight of you
Brings a confident smile
On every face…
