My Alaskan Honeymoon is over..
I am back in the arms of Mumbai
Unfrosty mosquitoe bites..no bitterness belie.
Summer breezed penile shadows.
In unworn Speedos a sigh ...
Sibling rivalry that cant see eye to eye.
So short lived a romance doomed as it was
If not today tomorrow it would die.
And every day it was a new surprise..
And a family to protect and truthful lies..
A lip a childhood an eye.. her being characterized..
And I hid nothing, willing to lose 28 years of a married life
To emotionally see my shit snow balled
And my pee ...frozen cube -iced.

Love has eloped with Reality disguised.
And Destiny’s child..
Bewildered beguiled..

Thank goodness for Christopher Lilly’s enlightening letter about the need to celebrate and nurture the penis. As we all know, men experience oppression and shame for having a cock, and the International Day of the Penis will highlight this outrage. P-Day also helps men reclaim words associated with their genitalia, words that have been used for eons to degrade them, simply because they have a penis. For example, in American society, calling someone “dick,” “rod” or “cock” is a deadly insult, while calling someone “pussy,” “cunt” or “woman” is a compliment. It is not fair that words associated with male genitalia are degrading, while words associated with women’s genitalia are complements. Therefore, P-Day is an important celebration that men, traditionally marginalized in society, can use to empower themselves. I also understand that the Penis Monologues is starting a tradition (imitating the Vagina Monologues) to visit places where men are oppressed. Next Valentine’s Day, the Penis Monologues may visit Saudi Arabia, Ciudad Juarez, Las Vegas or Dallas, Texas. This trip will highlight the marginalization of the penis and how this marginalization is degrading and killing men, precluding them from becoming equally participating members of society.
In fairness and equality,

Petcock, a small valve, primarily for draining liquid or releasing pressure from a vessel.
A vulgarism for the penis.
The shape and function of the type of mechanism called the cock, and the male symbolism of the rooster, gives this term double reinforcement.
This is occasionally used for a hateful man, similar to dick, prick, or the feminine cunt.
"Dog's cock" is printer's slang for exclamation mark.
We all know that among dicks:
www.cleansheets.com/coverstories/cervo_10.06.04.shtml
Having a "big dick" is good, but not as good as having a "fat cock." That is because a big dick could also be a pencil dick. Having a long dong can be thought of as a schlong, which has an oafishness to it. I site Justice Clarence Thomas' reference to "Long Dong Silver" here in his dialogues with Law Dean Anita Hill.
Being a dick, putz, schmeikel, or schmuck is not good. They imply hopeless flaccidity.
Being called "cock of the walk" implies that you are quite a priapic fellow. It can also mean that as a preening ever-hard male, you are not always the brightest bird in the coop. The blood that keeps rushing to your dick leaves you leading with your erection (as many men do), instead of your insight.
Being a "dickhead" (with the attendant gesture) is not good at all, because you seem to be a thick dick rather than a fat one.
Thinking with your dick -- though inescapable for my gender for many reasons -- is regarded as individual momentary devolution. That is perhaps unfair, given that it can't be helped.

Jesus May Have Been Nailed Up By His Cock
Filed under: research material— warrenellis @ 4:25 pm
The image of the crucifixion, one of the most powerful emblems of Christianity, may be quite erroneous, according to a study which says there is no evidence to prove Jesus was crucified in this manner.
Christ could have been crucified in any one of many ways, all of which would have affected the causes of his death, a paper published by Britain’s prestigious Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) says.
“The evidence available demonstrates that people were crucified in different postures and affixed to crosses using a variety of means,” said one of the authors, Piers Mitchell of Imperial College London. “Victims were not necessarily positioned head up and nailed through the feet from front to back, as is the imagery in Christian churches.”
The authors do not express any doubt on the act of Jesus’ crucifixion itself. But they note that the few eyewitness descriptions available today of crucifixions in the 1st century AD show the Romans had a broad and cruel imagination.
Their crucifixion methods probably evolved over time and depended on the social status of the victim and on the crime he allegedly committed, says the paper in April’s issue of the RSM journal.
The cross could be erected “in any one of a range of orientations”, with the victim sometimes head-up, sometimes head-down or in different postures.
Sometimes he was nailed to the cross by his genitals, sometimes the hands and feet were attached to the side of the cross and not the front, or affixed with cords rather than nails…

Reality Bites
She saw me online.
And I never saw her at all.;
Honey trapped by flirtatious fate,
And fell face first on a snow layered wall..
Enshrouded, sepulchral insensate
Soulless entity….she blew life.
Knowing well I was married and had a wife.
Indigenously enjoined accepted to live and let live
Dichotomy of love
And be Alive.
It did not work and love came to a halt;.
Flirtatious fate, finding new fault..
Alaskan fury and northern lights;
Love strangely dwarfed by heights..
Virtual reality
And Reality bites…
Woe be gone Love
To Sleepless nights..
And I never saw her at all.;
Honey trapped by flirtatious fate,
And fell face first on a snow layered wall..
Enshrouded, sepulchral insensate
Soulless entity….she blew life.
Knowing well I was married and had a wife.
Indigenously enjoined accepted to live and let live
Dichotomy of love
And be Alive.
It did not work and love came to a halt;.

Love strangely dwarfed by heights..

And Reality bites…

Games Women Play ..War and Peace
This poem is on Love in particular and Women in general.. this is not my personal view , I have decided to say and be a different character with my uncharacterless poems.I am offline .. online is a desultory disillusion,
I am alliteratively taking hormonal shots.. so as not to think like a woman..
I only hope I dont end up with boobs hanging without a hammock on the precipice of my testerides.. my word for balls..engenderedly endangered species.
This is also not because my frozen tears have started to melt.
This is not because of senti-Mental machinations..
This is not about being hemlocked between a Muse and a sodomic shitting Sado -masochistic Crow..
This is dedicated to all women, who love me , use me ..abuse me, accuse me, those who also unuse me.. even those wont go the full way refuse me.. finger fucked to defuse me.. those when I am coming rush to powder say excuse me... box and under the belt bruise me... God only knows why the fuck they choose me...
women one gloved an apron crochet
a kitchenette that is risque
they who chop and barbecue our balls each day
saute wetlipped gourmet
garnish it with lime juice corriander leaves
serve it to their pet dog on a silver tray
our hearts ripped out
served to distempered pussy
on her birthday
cybernetic one sided love
in disarray
their arrows
that on our multicolored ass
ricochet
megalomaniac comments
sounds cliche
straight to the maincourse
without foreplay
her idea of a Roman Holiday
wasted verse silent from her end
my love making no headway
as i shatter my head
at colaba causeway

She will wrench out your balls,mince ,marinate,pickled in sauce... no remorse in effect
She has a family to protect ,you proletariat dumb head
Swirl change lanes, never , never fall in love with a female poet on the net.
She will take your cockeyed manhood,arc lit to industrial propelane gas.. sweet kiss your ass.
Reverse ,you Gods gift to woman, you innocent insect
Never , never fall in love on the net.
She has an evil eye on you and evil, does more evil beget..
Book mark my ominious words ,manly minnion..vaginal dominion..is worse than death... dont forget...
Finger fuck your own ass, never never fall in love on the net..
Asshead how did you fall in love with a woman poet you never met
She treated you like slithered pet..to go in and come out..
And make her nectard dew drop and petals wet..
You sexually slovenly duckassed dumbhead,
Cut off those farterial internet wires..
Mournfully masturbate, dont debate , never never fall in love with a female poet on the net.
The King of Kings Lal Bagh Chya Raja
Mumbai has several Gods Godesses dieties in the Hindu pantheon..but Lord Ganesha of Lal Bagh is the Ultimate.He holds sway over human hearts.
All roads during the Ganesh Feast lead to his pandal , people all walks of life come to touch him and be touched.
For me a Muslim , my tryst with al Bagh Chya Raja goes many years back, I had just begun dabbling in photography , I shot with the students of Girish Mistrys Shari Academy , most daring photographers , I must say they taught me a lot, I saw how they would try to shoot Ganesha in different ways..
I had finished my shoot and was going back to Bandra, when these young photographers held me back and said wont you shoot Lal Bagh Chya Raja he comes on the beach at 4 am.I am a diabetic, I walk barefeet , I was tired and I decided to sleep at my parents house at Colaba and came back to shoot Lal Bagh Chya Raja.. I shot the Arti.. on negs, but more than the pictures was the ambience and the aura.. and I dare say without any reservations that Lord Lal Bagh Chya Raja has a special regard for my humilty, he calls me and I follow him...
It was the first time I shot him seated at his Pandal, and on Visarjan day followed him half the way , I did not shoot him at the end as I was really dehyderated I had fasted on this day.. kept myself sustained on water and nothing else...
I shot the Hijdas with their Ganpati, the Hijdas from Kamatipura Gully No1..
So Lal Bagh Chya Raja is not about a God of Hinduism , he is Hope and Hindutva.. he loves all... the essence of his Godliness, Shiddhi Vinayaka ...
Ganesh Chaturthi
www.dalsabzi.com/Language_Festivals/ganesh_chaturti.htm
Thought One
Lord Ganesh was born on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of the month of 'Magh'. 'Chatur' means 4. He controls the 8 directions of the Cosmos. 'Gana' means to count. The science of Astrology is dependant on numbers. Hence Lord Ganesh is the Master of Astrology. No wonder that one worships Lord Ganesh before embarking on anything auspicious. Those who would like to fast on Ganesh Chaturthi, start their series of fasting as of today.
Ganpatiji sits with one foot on the ground and the other folded up. This posture means that while we must operate in the world one must be constantly aligned to our spiritual nature.
Lord Ganesh's big ears denote that He can hear and understand Vedantic Truth. His big head reminds us that we are Spiritual Creatures so we must 'Think Big'. His small mouth denotes that He talks less. (So must we: Talk less and Listen more) His small eyes urge us to 'focus'. The long trunk of an elephant has the quality of being able to uproot a tree, and at the same time pick up a tiny needle from a haystack. This is again a quality attributed to the Lord, as we believe that in spite of His great power, the tiniest creature does not pass unnoticed by Him. The mouse though small can play havoc. Ganeshji has him under His control.
The parsaad offered to Lord Ganesha symbolises material and spiritual wealth.
As the Lord's mode of transport, the rat increases the difficult task that a spiritual person faces when treading on the 'Way to the Almighty'
Lord Ganesh's large belly denotes prosperity and that He digests all the good and bad in the world. The planet Mars and Ganpati are considered to have the same complexion. On Ganesh Chaturthi frequencies from Mars and Ganesh reach the Earth.
Ganeshji holds in His 4 hands:
An axe to cut off evil and worldly attachments.
A Rope pulls His disciples closer to the Spiritual Path.
The Rosary beads remind one to continuosly strive towards the Real Knowledge.
The last hand is held up in a posture of blessing.
May the Lord Ganesh bestow His Grace upon all of you today.
Thought Two
So people will once again be bringing 'Lord Ganpati' into their homes. They will be performing prayers and entertaining Him for a few days and then they will bid Him farewell with a request to return next year!
This wonderful custom was popularized by Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak to bring together the 'Hindustanis' during the British rule. Originally worshipping Lord Ganesha was a family affair. Wet clay was fashioned into a symbolic Ganesha form, placed on the left palm and worshipped with the chanting of mantras, followed by the rituals. The idol was the immersed in the well or a pond. A devout Hindu believes that what came from the earth should return there.
Ganpati is supposed to smash, with the help of His trunk, all the obstacles that come in the path of His devotees. When an elephant moves through the forest, his massive body clears the way for others who follow. If the trunk of 'Ganesha' is curved to the right He is called 'Sidhi Vinayaka' and requires special worship.
So let us worship Him again this year. Let us bring Him, not only into our homes, but into our hearts and keep Him there. The idol we may do 'visarjan' (immersion) of, and together with it, our negative tendencies.
Thought Three
Those conversant with Yoga would know that the 'Kundalini Shakti' or primordial energy, rises in a zigzag manner through the Spinal chord, culminating in the third eye, which resides in between the eye-brows. When the trunk of Ganeshji is facing straight forward, it signifies that the passage, though the Spinal chord, or 'Sushumna' is entirely open. When the trunk of Ganeshji is swung right in the air, it means that the 'Kundalini Shakti' has reached the Sahasraar' or the Region of the third eye, permanently.
When Ganeshji's trunk is curved to the right. He is called Siddhi Vinaayak.
The left side, represents the Moon. The right side represents the Sun. Hence if the Trunk of ones Ganeshji leans towards the Right, It would require special worship, as the 'Sun' would burn one if rules are violated.
Another explanation: According to Hindu texts there are three channels or naadis that are responsible for overall health.
The left channel is called the Ida Naadi and is connected to the right side and the back of the brain. This naadi looks after our emotional side.
The right side channel is called the Pingala naadi. It crosses the Ida naadi at the third eye or the Agna Chakra. Pingala is connected with the left side and the front of the brain. It is the Super conscious mind.
The central channel is called the Sushumna. This channel helps us integrate and helps in our Spiritual Evolution.
During earlier times, Ganpati was a tribal God, Guardian of the forests. He was, in fact believed to be a creator of obstacles, by whose Grace one could survive in the treacherous jungles. This world is no less than a jungle, where we constantly require His Grace to survive. He forever protects us. His Big ears hear our tiniest complaint. His Big Belly, remind us that He is Prosperity Itself, and He owns all that we might require. His trunk has the capacity to uproot a tree and to pick up a needle from a hay-stack. He is all powerful, yet He sits on a humble mouse to remind us that however powerful He may be is forever present on Earth, a humble planet, in the vast Universe.
Thought Four
In the case of Aum What looks like 3 is the 'a' sound in Sanskrit, the tail or trunk is the 'u' sound and the dot on the half moon is the nasal sound Together it says 'Aum' Aum is also a visual, and if you care to interpret it in the following way, it looks like a Ganpati. The lower part of the 3 is the belly,and the 'u' is the trunk, with a tika on top.
21 Durva blades are offered to Ganpatiji. It is believed that Ganpatiji is formed from No 3. 2+1=3 2+1 is 21
9 is a complete and powerful number. The devout who believe in the power of number 9 visit 108 Ganpatijis during these auspicious days.
Once again it is that time of year when the devout invite Lord Ganpati to their home and entertain him, with so much love!
Thought Five
People often say that God is Just and Merciful.
If one analyses the two adjectives, one will realise that if one relies on justice, one cannot always be merciful and if one shows Mercy, one probably cannot exercise proper justice. The theory of karma is based on justice. Forgiveness is a gift of Mercy. If you will only bear with me, I would like to explain to you a theory which explains the above a bit better.
On the earth and for some miles around it we experience the Law of Gravity. The Law of gravity does not exist in Space. Similarly while we are bound by human knowledge, the Laws of karma apply. Once we transcend through love. We break the barriers and we enter the Law of Grace, compassion and mercy. We have then entered the realm of miracles. Now we can use our thoughts, feelings, words and actions to co-create with God our own reality.
I will not write further on the above subject. Will you re-read what I have written and ponder upon it?
The Lord Ganpati, is being revered across India, for the present 10 days as a great clearer of obstacles. He is considered a symbol of wisdom and a bringer of good luck. He is believed to be a very powerful positive force in the Universe. It is said that Ganpati was born when Shivji and Mother Parvati contemplated on 'OM'
There was once a competition in Heaven as to who would circle the Universe first. While the other gods went in different directions, Ganpati circled round His parents. Some believe that because of Ganpati's example, we hindus revere our parents always. Therefore we need not celebrate Mother's and Father's day , only on a particular day each year. So let us call upon Ganpati to enter into our lives and affairs, and not leave our hearts even though we bid adieu to Him at the end of the 10 day celebration.
Thought Six
The 12th of Sepember, 2000 is Maha-visarjan-day. The grandest (in stature) of Ganpatis will be returned to the elements (Water). They have been feasted in a grand manner fit for gods, and now it is time to chant:
Ganpati Baba Morya!
Pudcha varshi laukarya!
Which means: O Ganpati
Return soon, next year
As we prepare to allow Him to leave, let us get to know a little more about Him.
It is believed that Ganeshji Himself wrote the Mahabharata, to the dictation of Guru Veda Vyasa. He is also considered the most intelligent. A challenge was thrown to brothers Ganeshji and Karthikeya by Sage Narada. The challenge was whoever went around the globe first would have the fruit first. Karthikeya went around the world which took quite some time while Ganeshji went round his parents thrice and claimed the fruit. The logic he gave was that since his parents represented the universe he had gone round them.
Ganeshji (Another name for Ganpati Bapa) is the beloved son of Shivji and Ma Parvati. Shivji used to leave Parvati for long periods of time, to immerse Himself into deep meditation. During one such time, Ma was feeling lonely, so she took some clay and water and commenced to shape a baby. She breathed life into him, and called the beautiful baby, Ganesh.
Once Ma Parvati went in to bathe and asked Ganesh not to let anyone in. Shivji happened to return from his long sojourn and Ganesh refused him entry. Enraged Shivji cut off Ganesh's head as he did not recognise the child. Ma Parvati implored him to restore her son's life. Lord Shiva said that he would cut the head of the first living creature that passed by and use it to replace his son's head, and that is what he did.
However it makes me wonder why Lord Shiva said that he would cut the head of the first living creature that passed. Could Lord Shiva have performed a head transplant? Eric Van Daniken in his book 'Chariots of the Gods' claims that humanity was very advanced in early history and far-fetched theories like the above one, should be taken literally.
Another version: Mother Parvati pointed out the planet Saturn to Ganpati. The latter's head got burnt due to the power of the planet.
The point to remember is that Ganeshji triumphed the onslaught of Saturn and became immortal.
Later, Ganeshji married Sidhhi and Buddhi and had two sons called Kshem and Labh. Please do some homework! find out the meaning of the above names and you will be able to learn the great qualities that Ganeshji is endowed with.
Ganeshji is called 'Ekdanta' because he broke one tusk while he engaged in a fight. 'Ekdanta' means 'one tooth'
Once the 'Moon' laughed at the appearance of Ganpati. The moon since has had dark spots on its beautiful surface as punishment.
Ved Vyaasji is the Poet Supreme . He penned the Shrimad Bhaagvat besides other remarkably Divine compositions. While writing the Mahabharata, Ved Vyaasa realised that his thoughts were flowing faster than his pen. So he requested Ganpatiji to write, while he dictated. Ganpatiji agreed. But he put up a condition. VedVyaas must not stop his dictation even for a second. VedVyaas agreed on the condition that Ganpatiji would only write a couplet after he understood it.
Ganeshji speed in writing was unsurpassed, hence Ved Vyaasji composed a difficult 'shloka' from time to time to keep Ganeshji busy trying to understand what he was writing.
So we have Ganpatiji to thank, for writing the hundred thousand couplets (shlokas) of the Mahabharata, which took 3 years to complete.
Remember, Ganpatiji's wife's name is 'Buddhi'? Buddhi means intellect and wisdom.
Truly Ganpati possesses all the powers to do away with any difficulty that confronts a devotee of his. So say with me:
Ganpati Bappa Morya
Pudchaa Varshi laukarya!
and may our troubles be as small as Ganpati's mouse &
our moments as sweet His laddus.
All roads during the Ganesh Feast lead to his pandal , people all walks of life come to touch him and be touched.
For me a Muslim , my tryst with al Bagh Chya Raja goes many years back, I had just begun dabbling in photography , I shot with the students of Girish Mistrys Shari Academy , most daring photographers , I must say they taught me a lot, I saw how they would try to shoot Ganesha in different ways..
I had finished my shoot and was going back to Bandra, when these young photographers held me back and said wont you shoot Lal Bagh Chya Raja he comes on the beach at 4 am.I am a diabetic, I walk barefeet , I was tired and I decided to sleep at my parents house at Colaba and came back to shoot Lal Bagh Chya Raja.. I shot the Arti.. on negs, but more than the pictures was the ambience and the aura.. and I dare say without any reservations that Lord Lal Bagh Chya Raja has a special regard for my humilty, he calls me and I follow him...
It was the first time I shot him seated at his Pandal, and on Visarjan day followed him half the way , I did not shoot him at the end as I was really dehyderated I had fasted on this day.. kept myself sustained on water and nothing else...
I shot the Hijdas with their Ganpati, the Hijdas from Kamatipura Gully No1..
So Lal Bagh Chya Raja is not about a God of Hinduism , he is Hope and Hindutva.. he loves all... the essence of his Godliness, Shiddhi Vinayaka ...
Ganesh Chaturthi
www.dalsabzi.com/Language_Festivals/ganesh_chaturti.htm
Thought One
Lord Ganesh was born on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of the month of 'Magh'. 'Chatur' means 4. He controls the 8 directions of the Cosmos. 'Gana' means to count. The science of Astrology is dependant on numbers. Hence Lord Ganesh is the Master of Astrology. No wonder that one worships Lord Ganesh before embarking on anything auspicious. Those who would like to fast on Ganesh Chaturthi, start their series of fasting as of today.
Ganpatiji sits with one foot on the ground and the other folded up. This posture means that while we must operate in the world one must be constantly aligned to our spiritual nature.
Lord Ganesh's big ears denote that He can hear and understand Vedantic Truth. His big head reminds us that we are Spiritual Creatures so we must 'Think Big'. His small mouth denotes that He talks less. (So must we: Talk less and Listen more) His small eyes urge us to 'focus'. The long trunk of an elephant has the quality of being able to uproot a tree, and at the same time pick up a tiny needle from a haystack. This is again a quality attributed to the Lord, as we believe that in spite of His great power, the tiniest creature does not pass unnoticed by Him. The mouse though small can play havoc. Ganeshji has him under His control.
The parsaad offered to Lord Ganesha symbolises material and spiritual wealth.
As the Lord's mode of transport, the rat increases the difficult task that a spiritual person faces when treading on the 'Way to the Almighty'
Lord Ganesh's large belly denotes prosperity and that He digests all the good and bad in the world. The planet Mars and Ganpati are considered to have the same complexion. On Ganesh Chaturthi frequencies from Mars and Ganesh reach the Earth.
Ganeshji holds in His 4 hands:
An axe to cut off evil and worldly attachments.
A Rope pulls His disciples closer to the Spiritual Path.
The Rosary beads remind one to continuosly strive towards the Real Knowledge.
The last hand is held up in a posture of blessing.
May the Lord Ganesh bestow His Grace upon all of you today.
Thought Two
So people will once again be bringing 'Lord Ganpati' into their homes. They will be performing prayers and entertaining Him for a few days and then they will bid Him farewell with a request to return next year!
This wonderful custom was popularized by Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak to bring together the 'Hindustanis' during the British rule. Originally worshipping Lord Ganesha was a family affair. Wet clay was fashioned into a symbolic Ganesha form, placed on the left palm and worshipped with the chanting of mantras, followed by the rituals. The idol was the immersed in the well or a pond. A devout Hindu believes that what came from the earth should return there.
Ganpati is supposed to smash, with the help of His trunk, all the obstacles that come in the path of His devotees. When an elephant moves through the forest, his massive body clears the way for others who follow. If the trunk of 'Ganesha' is curved to the right He is called 'Sidhi Vinayaka' and requires special worship.
So let us worship Him again this year. Let us bring Him, not only into our homes, but into our hearts and keep Him there. The idol we may do 'visarjan' (immersion) of, and together with it, our negative tendencies.
Thought Three
Those conversant with Yoga would know that the 'Kundalini Shakti' or primordial energy, rises in a zigzag manner through the Spinal chord, culminating in the third eye, which resides in between the eye-brows. When the trunk of Ganeshji is facing straight forward, it signifies that the passage, though the Spinal chord, or 'Sushumna' is entirely open. When the trunk of Ganeshji is swung right in the air, it means that the 'Kundalini Shakti' has reached the Sahasraar' or the Region of the third eye, permanently.
When Ganeshji's trunk is curved to the right. He is called Siddhi Vinaayak.
The left side, represents the Moon. The right side represents the Sun. Hence if the Trunk of ones Ganeshji leans towards the Right, It would require special worship, as the 'Sun' would burn one if rules are violated.
Another explanation: According to Hindu texts there are three channels or naadis that are responsible for overall health.
The left channel is called the Ida Naadi and is connected to the right side and the back of the brain. This naadi looks after our emotional side.
The right side channel is called the Pingala naadi. It crosses the Ida naadi at the third eye or the Agna Chakra. Pingala is connected with the left side and the front of the brain. It is the Super conscious mind.
The central channel is called the Sushumna. This channel helps us integrate and helps in our Spiritual Evolution.
During earlier times, Ganpati was a tribal God, Guardian of the forests. He was, in fact believed to be a creator of obstacles, by whose Grace one could survive in the treacherous jungles. This world is no less than a jungle, where we constantly require His Grace to survive. He forever protects us. His Big ears hear our tiniest complaint. His Big Belly, remind us that He is Prosperity Itself, and He owns all that we might require. His trunk has the capacity to uproot a tree and to pick up a needle from a hay-stack. He is all powerful, yet He sits on a humble mouse to remind us that however powerful He may be is forever present on Earth, a humble planet, in the vast Universe.
Thought Four
In the case of Aum What looks like 3 is the 'a' sound in Sanskrit, the tail or trunk is the 'u' sound and the dot on the half moon is the nasal sound Together it says 'Aum' Aum is also a visual, and if you care to interpret it in the following way, it looks like a Ganpati. The lower part of the 3 is the belly,and the 'u' is the trunk, with a tika on top.
21 Durva blades are offered to Ganpatiji. It is believed that Ganpatiji is formed from No 3. 2+1=3 2+1 is 21
9 is a complete and powerful number. The devout who believe in the power of number 9 visit 108 Ganpatijis during these auspicious days.
Once again it is that time of year when the devout invite Lord Ganpati to their home and entertain him, with so much love!
Thought Five
People often say that God is Just and Merciful.
If one analyses the two adjectives, one will realise that if one relies on justice, one cannot always be merciful and if one shows Mercy, one probably cannot exercise proper justice. The theory of karma is based on justice. Forgiveness is a gift of Mercy. If you will only bear with me, I would like to explain to you a theory which explains the above a bit better.
On the earth and for some miles around it we experience the Law of Gravity. The Law of gravity does not exist in Space. Similarly while we are bound by human knowledge, the Laws of karma apply. Once we transcend through love. We break the barriers and we enter the Law of Grace, compassion and mercy. We have then entered the realm of miracles. Now we can use our thoughts, feelings, words and actions to co-create with God our own reality.
I will not write further on the above subject. Will you re-read what I have written and ponder upon it?
The Lord Ganpati, is being revered across India, for the present 10 days as a great clearer of obstacles. He is considered a symbol of wisdom and a bringer of good luck. He is believed to be a very powerful positive force in the Universe. It is said that Ganpati was born when Shivji and Mother Parvati contemplated on 'OM'
There was once a competition in Heaven as to who would circle the Universe first. While the other gods went in different directions, Ganpati circled round His parents. Some believe that because of Ganpati's example, we hindus revere our parents always. Therefore we need not celebrate Mother's and Father's day , only on a particular day each year. So let us call upon Ganpati to enter into our lives and affairs, and not leave our hearts even though we bid adieu to Him at the end of the 10 day celebration.
Thought Six
The 12th of Sepember, 2000 is Maha-visarjan-day. The grandest (in stature) of Ganpatis will be returned to the elements (Water). They have been feasted in a grand manner fit for gods, and now it is time to chant:
Ganpati Baba Morya!
Pudcha varshi laukarya!
Which means: O Ganpati
Return soon, next year
As we prepare to allow Him to leave, let us get to know a little more about Him.
It is believed that Ganeshji Himself wrote the Mahabharata, to the dictation of Guru Veda Vyasa. He is also considered the most intelligent. A challenge was thrown to brothers Ganeshji and Karthikeya by Sage Narada. The challenge was whoever went around the globe first would have the fruit first.

Ganeshji is called 'Ekdanta' because he broke one tusk while he engaged in a fight. 'Ekdanta' means 'one tooth'
Once the 'Moon' laughed at the appearance of Ganpati. The moon since has had dark spots on its beautiful surface as punishment.

So we have Ganpatiji to thank, for writing the hundred thousand couplets (shlokas) of the Mahabharata, which took 3 years to complete.
Remember, Ganpatiji's wife's name is 'Buddhi'? Buddhi means intellect and wisdom.
Truly Ganpati possesses all the powers to do away with any difficulty that confronts a devotee of his. So say with me:
Ganpati Bappa Morya
Pudchaa Varshi laukarya!
and may our troubles be as small as Ganpati's mouse &
our moments as sweet His laddus.
