Elephant Head! Elephant head! I worship a god with an elephant head!

I only found out this week that my sister was back from her trip to India. She's gone somewhere else now, camping in the cold and the wet near the NSW border.

But she left us a gift - a beautiful little statue of Ganesha.



One of the most popular Hindu deities. Lord of success, destroyer of obstacles, Ganesha is called upon to give blessings at the start of any venture.

And in other good news, my CD drive fixed itself overnight.

Some might say the two events are related.

Well Ganesha is the Remover Of Obstacles, maybe something was caught in your CD Drive, physically or spiritually... :)

And don't you hate it when you hardware has a spiritual crash?

(Amongst other things, Ganesha is the adopted god of hackers.)

And of all the choices out there was by and far the most applicable.

(I'm assuming that you have a small idea why Ganesha was chosen! :P)

Aren't Ganesha's followers well known for their predelictions towards anal fun?

So back doors and back doors?

Hie thee to the nearest mesa with a metric tonne of acid.:)

Lovely little statue, though.

He's also the patron god of writers, hence a proliferation of Gannies about my gaff. :)

He's the keeper of knowledge, too. Wondrous lil' bloke that he is.


(yes, i'm catching up on about a week's worth of reading at the mo...)
