Prayer to Ganesha
We pray to you Ganesha,
Father of the Gods
Your mother is Lady Paravati,
your father Mahadeva
We pray to you Ganesha,
Father of the Gods
You, with two kinds of teeth
and four strong arms
You have vermillion on your forehead
And ride on a rat
We pray to you Ganesha,
Father of the Gods

“Ideally law is discovery of reality.”
Socrates
No matter how ample, ego is the most infinitesimal thing in the universe.
How unfortunate to think
Eden forbidden and mythic.
For any spot on Earthly sphere,
Not spoiled nor exploited
by industries’ grinding gear,
And greed’s insatiable
Need to exploit for gain
Again and again,
Is Eden paradisic.
What is this planet Earth,
If not a paradise in the vastness
Of empty spacial dearth.
