this kind of day...

Ganesha

when there's nothing much in particular to say, except my deep wish that all obstacles to enlightenment be removed for as many people who need that dissolution of all things blocking the way.

I love this picture of Ganesha, the representative of the energy that removes obstacles (especially to the Mother Divine). he's the great siddhic master, as well.

his prayer is something I say many times a day:

om suklam bharadaram
vishnum sashivarnam
chattoor bhujam
prasanna vadanam
dhyi yayt sarva vignopa shantayay

om agajannana padmarkam gajanana
mahar nisham
anay kadantanam
bhaktanam
yay kadantam mupass mahay.....
