Here's a new image. I've been prodded this week to meditate and concentrate

upon, and especially try to get in resonance with, Ganesh as One-Tusk: single

minded, single purposed, not to be messed with, the Ganesha who, when his pen

busted, broke off his tusk and kept taking down the sacred text. I don't know

if the mantra is canonical or not; "ekadanta" means "one tusk" and is one of

G's names. I gather that "-ye" is a Sanscrit name ending to indicate the

vocative case; i.e., I made the mantra up but it may just be utterly in synch

with tradition...and I would appreciate confirmation or correction from our

Hindu buddies. I've been silently chanting the mantra all day and having a fine

time of it.... The mountain behind Ganesh? That's where Shiva lives. The

murthi? It's a little statue that came my way this week. Thai, I believe. It

fascinates me in that G is shown in the posture one normally expects of Hanuman,

but they get the one-tusk part absolutely right. Many Ganesh images screw this

up. This little bronze guy is about to be treated royally...I have a special

Tibetan reliquary wherein he'll reside. The only open question is which set of

rune stones I'll fill it with. In the meantime, he's waving (in the quantum

sense) like mad...and we've been gettin it on all evening. Scott
