Elephants bring the Rain

Jai Ganesha
This week four female elephants arrived at Taronga Zoo from Thailand. Ever since their arrival the rain has come down in Sydney. What a great blessing these beautiful creatures have brought to the city!

Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh!
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva

Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.
Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari

Mathe par tilak sohe, muse ki savariPan chadhe, phul chadhe, aur chadhe meva

Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant kare seva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,

Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva...
Andhan ko ankh det, kodhin ko kayaBanjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya

Surya shaam sharan aye, safal kije seva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,

Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva...

Glory to you, O Lord Ganesha!

Born of Parvati, daughter of the Himalayas, and the great Shiva.
O Lord of compassion, you have a single tusk, four arms, A vermilion mark of on your forehead, and ride on a mouse. People offer you betel leaves, blossoms, fruits And sweets, while saints and seers worship you.

Glory to you, O Lord Ganesha!Born of Parvati, daughter of the Himalayas, and the great Shiva.
You bestow vision on the blind, chastened body on the leprous, Children on the sterile, and wealth on the destitute. We pray to thee day and night, please bestow success upon us.

Glory to you, O Lord Ganesha!

Born of Parvati, daughter of the Himalayas, and the great Shiva.

I love a man who speaks many languages and is spiritual as well. I am in a "Jain" class this term - a very "Indian" religious tradition.

Hope all is well. Rain is good, a much needed resource in Australia right now, I have heard.

Peace
