HAPPY GANESH CHATURTHI!
A poem from my book NAAM ROOP- A Tribute to the Divine
( Shaivites say that Devi parvati and lord shiva are propitiated in fullness,
only in the presence of both their children, Ganesh and Murugan (kartikeya)
only in the presence of both their children, Ganesh and Murugan (kartikeya)
GAN, MURUGAN
Ganesh,
as I pray,
I see Murugan in your face!
And when I turn to salute him,
I see you, seated with grace!
Scions of the holy! What is this play,
I turn to the Devi,
To hear Shiva say,
“you two make us
feel
the animation of being,
to wit, we gave you birth,
but creation is a wonder,
more than the sense of it,
you were there,
and we found ourselves living,
and complete”.
