My Lord Ganesha

My Dear friend,
There have been so many who have written a lot about all your virtues and form
There is little left to be described about your contribution when people face a storm
Those who believe in you unconditionally spend time waiting for your yearly birthday
They never forget your monthly birthdays and many a time routinely fast and pray

Let us talk about your annual birthday celebration that is a mega festival in our state
It gets people together to collectively pray and take positive steps beyond destiny’s fate
It is never too early or late for people to come and pay their respects during your annual visit
It gives them the peace of mind they seek especially when the feeling is their life has taken a hit

Every believer pays obeisance in no small measure and wishes to satisfy you in some measure
It may be milk or fruit or your favourite coconut cake or just spend time with you in leisure
Every believer worships and gives spirit to your form as per how he relates to you at that moment
They are also cognizant of the reality of impermanence and how you teach them to live in present

You are forever ready to satisfy the never ending desires of your devotees who multiply every year
You have your ways of creating employment and source of money distribution that eliminates fear
You ensure people come together and voluntarily donate funds that support a noble cause
They are like a parallel economy that operates and may otherwise never have seen light of the day

The creation of this Universe starts commanding a different value and premium during your sojourn
There are those who have literally counted days and nights for when you finally hit the home run
Your mere presence removes all pain, grief, guilt, hurt, or any negative emotions that they harbour
You help raise the collective awareness and the negative energies start flowing towards the shore

As you need to find your way back to your home with a promise that you will come back soon
Your well wishers find it difficult to let go and continue to hold on till the last lap of the moon
You have come and ensured that your creations of this Universe feel protected and in safe hands
You can’t deny that the frailties of mankind will always keep us from searching for the magic wand!
