Ganpati Bapa Moriya!!!!

Parvati: Beta, you really need to go?

Ganesh: Ha, Maa. I have promised my devotees that I will spend 10 days with the them every year. I need to go. I have heard that some impostor is wondering on earth as Radha Maa. Who knows if I don’t go and bless them, some impostor may start wondering as Ganesh Baba with a flute in hand. I need to go.

Parvati: But beta, every time you go, you come back tired, jet legged and depressed.

Ganesh: What can we do Ma, its Kalyuga, it is tough for everyone. For us, it’s depressing seeing the deterioration of human values. I wrote the Mahabharata and Gita for people so that there is documentation for people to learn and follow. But instead of following that, people are following how many husband Indrani Mukejea has.

Parvati: Yes, beta. That is why I am worried about you. The mrityuloka is becoming dangerous day by day. You are intelligent and smart but like your father you are naive and simple. The 10 days you are there, I am constantly worried. You are alone and there is no one to help you.

Ganesh: Don’t worry Maa, My Mushak – mouse protects me. He is capable of handling things for me. Besides I will be traveling. This time I am also going to San Francisco. I have heard that they are going to have 15-feet Murti of me. I hope people use bio-colors and not harm the sea life by using toxic colors. This kalyuga is getting confused for me. There is so much money spent on religion and pleasing God, but no money to feed the poor and provide medical assistance to poor. It hurts me but I console myself that at least these people are not spending their time on destructive stuff. The time people are spending on devotion is less time they spend on harming others. So, at least that is the silver lining.

Parvati: You are very generous Ganesha. Please do not eat anything over there. I have heard there is dengue and other diseases over there. I have packed all the food for you, including the ladoos. You remember, one time you drank milk and got sick.

Ganesh: No Maa, I didn’t drink Milk. Someone just spread the rumor. I don’t eat ladoos. In Kalyuga, if I ate one, instead of people believing that I ate it, they will put CCTV cameras to find out who stole the ladoo. If I am pleased with any devotee, I taste a little.

Parvati: Ok Beta, I have packed extra ladoos for you so don’t worry. Also stay away from that egoistic “I-stuff”

Ganesh: What “I-stuff” Maa?

Parvati: Last time you told me about I-Phone, I-Pad, I-Watch and I- what not. You know “I” brings ego into the minds and it is destructive.

Ganesh: Yeah Maa, I stay away from the “I-Stuff”. People have become crazy with the “I-stuff”. Today, a success of a person is measured in whether he or she uses I-Phone 5 or I-Phone 6. People lie, steal for I-stuff. Personal interaction between people has gone away. People communicate via twitter, whatsapp and what not. Instead of joining people, it has isolated people. People can live without spouse and children and even God but not without their "I-stuff". Even while standing in line to meet me, instead of talking to me or having an eye contact with me, they are busy with their I-stuff. Even my Aarti and Prayers are not sung but played on I-pod. I loved it when people sang. I loved it even more when people sang, even if they didn’t knew the words, they did it with love. Instead of moving away from the Moh-Maya and personal ego stuff, people are moving more into the quick sand of the I-stuff. It has become a status symbol and an ego. A person not having the I-stuff is looked down upon. Good that we don’t have the earth’s wifi system connected here, otherwise people would be communicating to us on Whatsapp and Facebook. They would be sending me virtual photos of ladoos. I am staying away from the I-stuff, Maa.

Parvati: Ok beta. I will be worried anyway. Moms are always worried when their kids travel, no matter how old they are.

Ganesh. DW. G2G, TC, BRB

Parvati: Beta what’s that

Ganesh: Arre Maa, just – don’t worry, Got to Go, Take Care, and will Be Right Back.

Parvati: Om Namah Shivaya!!!

 

Thanks @Mahavid. I am glad you liked it. Even if half the money that is spent on expenses on Religion is used to help the needy, a lot of people would benefit.

 

Thanks Vijima. Love you too!!! Your agility and love is infectious.

 

Vani's thread is very interesting. Reminded me of that beautiful song, so wrote it immediately.
