From Arizona to Kauai

The monks uncrated a pair of Ganesha's today, bronzes sculpted by Natalie Cederquist. They are so delightful we wanted to share some images. Somehow she captured a subtle mix of adult and baby Ganesha. The bronzes are about 22 inches tall and seem to like the tropical humidity after living in the desert.

Ganesha is set in Siva\

s Living Garden for a few minutes, where He can bless all who walk the inner path.'

He keeps a close eye on all, to assure they remain firmly on the Good Path.

Blessing with His right hand.

Tassels adorn his head.

And at the top of His head a lotus open to the Infinite All.

A sweet modaka ball in His left hand.

And lotus petals open and serving as His throne.
