Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Sorry for the late response - bin offline for quite soom days. Er...ya sed ya loik Ozzie English so 'ere we are. Hope ya kin make sense o' whot I'm sayin' :-) Sincerely, thank you for sharing personal "journeys" with Ganesh..... Wish I've got your techno know-how! Hope to see more of your talented renditions whenever you feel like sharing them. About the Ganesh Upanishad in flowing English - a monumental task indeed but I'm sure your sincere dedication will reap rewards. In resonance with the last paragraph of your message. Maybe you can lead the pack (I mean "bhaktas")?

That particular image came in a few days ago...others are very orthodox Hindu...others come from gestalts we haven't yet lived through...one of the many things I adore about Ganesh is that his iconography is allowed the luxury of change and update.

After all, a picture is worth a thousand you-know-what's... I'm also working hard trying get a version of the Ganesha Upanishad set into flowing English. That's a rough one. Intuition tells me we're about to see an influx of totally unprecidented forms of devotion to Ganesh, just as Hindu tradition predicts a new two-armed Ganesh will become a popular image of devotion. Seems to me any truly new puja-form is going to be in some way cyber. I love Australian English, btw. /Do You ?

I just work here... I suppose you're asking what's a nice boy like that doing with a lingam coming out of his jowl??? Whadda I know? That's how I found it...ring and all... Speaking of lingams, have you ever heard tell of quartz crystals being considered natural lingams? I visited somebody or other's temple site yesterday, only to discover a huge Arkansas quartz generator crystal all decked (talk about temple drag!!! this crystal makes Liberace look like a nun!) out in strings of flowers and being venerated as a natural lingam...in some way it was implied that such a lingam is superior to the polished ones we get from India...being self-emerged and so on....I think the temple is in Hawaii...have you ever heard of quartz crystals being natural lingams? Wandering a bit off Ganesh, let me explain that I have a large collection of quartz crystals, many of them generators...I also have a balcony at the end of my apartment that faces in the direction of New York City...early last summer I was impelled to take virtually all the crystals outside and leave them on the balcony...resulting in so many crystals out there one couldn't move around...all summer they stayed there and I kept wondering what was up...Then came 9/11 and I knew...their move outside was some sort of transcendent magick that I could serve (as crystal mover) but not understand. There was a "real" Shiva lingam among them (14" high), the kind you see Ganesha cuddling....but lots of quartz generators ...which I thinking now were lingams too... Well, I've lived long enough to figure out that one can rarely totally figure anything out...but one can keep tabs on things...and one of the things I'm trying to keep tabs on is this lingam-magick...which I serve without understanding. BTW, where DO you find all these links?
