“Invoke His presence and your deal is done”- He is none other than our dear Lord Ganesha whose birthday is being celebrated all over India today. He stands first in the list of favourite Gods for almost all. He is being worshipped on all occasions. He is served first before offering the other Gods. Why is that? I honestly do not know but all I infer is that He is so cool and easy unlike the Others.
To me, His eyes look so compassionate. I feel He cries with me when I am in sorrow. I assume that he carries my burden sometimes and relieves me off pressure secretly. He appears so loving and kind that I can confess freely to Him. He lays no rules to me. He is not strict with me. He pardons me easily. But at the same time, He makes sure that I do not repeat it. He loves junkies just like me. He doesn’t advice me. What a pleasure to have such a lovely companion with me all the time!
It is not only to me. Most of the people in India take Him for granted. He is the only God who poses in different styles matching the latest trend. I was not surprised to see Him posing with a cricket bat and ball, sometimes with musical instruments, sometimes posing like sumo wrestlers, sometimes munching in front of the TV, sometimes listening to music from internet. He is such a adorable character whom everybody would love to meet.
I offered Lord Ganesha some prayers today. Kids enjoyed His procession in our compound this evening. Arrays of petitions would have reached his large ears today. Wondering how He captured the hearts of infinite number of devotees effortlessly!!
