with Sri Ganesh

his trade... He asks for a discarded garland when I clean inside the shrine, and he goes away with it...

Sunny, Massive and Tranquil, Filled with Shakti, You are seated, watching, With deep alertness, As the offerings are laid In your care – No judgment ever issues From you, No response is to be found Anywhere

But in the nature Of the closeness One experiences –

Your knowledge is Impersonal, It has weathered The vicissitudes of the ages, It is that of The Master Alchemist

Who serves The One...

... These days, elections for the panchayat are afoot and the whole day long minivans are plying the roads, canvassing, with very loud speakers..., such a pitiful scene! ... The headman attends the Aarti and offers Rs. 10/-.

Sri Ganesh today you are Dancing Love = At your own centered Rhythm You whirl and hurl Ropes of Love, White Lights and

Vermilion Fire, And you smile,
