Ganesha has many births. He belongs to yesterday today and tomorrow. But within his multiple forms there is also an integral embodiment of integrity. That integrity stems from Indian cyclical notions related to the metaphysical symbolism of time. Ganesha transcends time through the many tales of devotion and fervour and his devotees keep multiplying according to the myriad ways they are touched by his spirit and being.
Early Morning Raga is about multiple songs that are translated through countless stories. Ganesha is the only omnipresent, and the songs and stories are all variations on a single theme, the story is the glory and the glory is the story. This is what the devotees sing in the innumerable ragas.
When we sing or listen to the morning raga in praise of Lord Ganesha we are drawn into the ultimate experience of compassion and grace. We are invited into the ambience of innate bliss. The morning raga becomes the song of the self. In the lives of devotees, we long to be strings on his instruments, our souls resounding with his very touch, resounding in melodies divine. We have to be in tune with his rhythms through our righteous deeds and actions. There is a science in the spiritual gleanings of Ganesha. It is a way of life; we must swim in the vast oceans of these melodies to attain bliss.
