Modern Religious Experience: Assignment #3- Sacred Poetry

Modern Religious Experience: Assignment #3- Sacred Poetry: "Assignment #3- Sacred Poetry • Add a picture of an ancient religious symbol to your Online Portfolio (it can be one of those from the notes..."

Ganesha, oh my elephant god

You, the most sacred Hindu holy being

Your blessings for our survival in life

Make me wonder, why us, why here on Earth?

You bring us wisdom so we can live without difficulties

Without the food and the water you give to us, how will we live?

Take my soul, store it in your head and keep it safe with all the other souls

I will stay by your side like the two lions flanked by your throne

Use your four hands to purify my sins so I can eternally live with you

In return I will forever be your guard as you were to Parvati

But please keep me away from my head being ripped like yours did, I wish to live

I praise you holy Ganesha, you are the reason why I’m still alive
