Ganesha's Other Tusk

[Guest guest]

Reign up your rodent steed, and dance, Ganesha.

Raise high your trunk, and trumpet forth to all

That Shiva's son, defender of the Goddess

Has pierced the Moon, and made it wane and fall.

 

Now mount your rat and bravely ride, Ganesha.

The night approaches, dusk decends too soon;

When insult-tossing Chadra tries to taunt you

To hurl yor other tusk against the Moon.

Bravo!!:-))

 

With Love

 

Shankaree

 

Let my every word be a prayer to Thee,

Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee,

Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image,

Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee,

Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet;

Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do,

Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee. "

 

From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari
