My beautiful daughters really know me. They know what I like and what is special to me. On Christmas morning, I opened a package from both my daughters and inside was this Ganesh statue! I was instructed to close my eyes and just open. The moment I felt what was inside I got chills. I immediately knew it was Ganesh, waiting there inside hand-made rice paper tinted red, to remove all my obstacles. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better or more appreciated.
HINDU PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE AND PEACE
Lead me from untruth to truth.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
Om, peace peace peace.
(Peace be in all three realms: surroundings, body and mind)
THE ORDINARY ACTS WE PRACTICE EVERY DAY AT HOME ARE OF MORE IMPORTANCE TO THE SOUL THAN THEIR SIMPLICITY MIGHT SUGGEST.

I love Ganesh also. this is a lovely statue. i have a wooden Ganesh on a small table in my kitchen. Surrounding him is a candle, two small bowls one with water and one with peanuts, dried flowers picked last summer. Hope he is happy. LOL
