"Muitas vezes as pessoas são egocêntricas, ilógicas e insensatas.
Ame-as assim mesmo!
Se você é gentil, as pessoas podem acusá-la de egoísta, interesseira.
Seja gentil assim mesmo!
Se você é vencedora, terá alguns falsos amigos e alguns inimigos verdadeiros.
Vença assim mesmo!
Se você é honesta e franca,as pessoas podem enganá-la.
Seja honesta e franca assim mesmo!
O que você levou anos para construir,
alguém pode destruir de uma hora para outra.
Construa assim mesmo!
O bem que você faz hoje pode
ser esquecido amanhã.
Faça o bem assim mesmo!
Dê ao mundo o melhor de você, mas isso pode nunca ser o bastante.
Dê o melhor de você assim mesmo!
Veja você que, no final das contas, é entre você e Deus.
Nunca foi entre você e as outras pessoas." (Madre Tereza de Calcutá)
Um final de semana de Paz, Amor e Luz! Beijos!
Although Ganesha has many attributes, he is readily identified by his elephant head and four arms. He is widely revered, more specifically, as the remover of obstacles and bringer of good luck

ENGLISH (poor, sorry !):
End of this little "reportage"
Not a real satisfactory lighting (overcast sky in the morning at the beginning of the parade, then some sun but too many people rushing in the afternoon)
A good surprise with my old 105 mm fixed focal lens f2.8 issued in the 90s, not used for a long time, looking ridiculous with its 52mm filter diameter, but which, despite its "has been" appearance, makes me almost regret the brilliant optical quality of the Nikkor optics of last century !

Dernière photo de la série et fin du petit "reportage"
Un éclairage naturel pas très satisfaisant (ciel couvert en début de défilé, puis beaucoup trop de monde ensuite) mais une bonne surprise avec mon vieux 105 mm focale fixe f2.8 des années 90, ressorti de la naphtaline pour l'occasion, tout riquiqui avec son diamètre de filtre 52mm, mais qui, sous son aspect désuet "siècle dernier", me ferait presque regretter le piqué génial des optiques Nikkor de cette époque !

Ganesha is one of the best-known and most widely worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India and Nepal. Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains, Buddhists, and beyond India.
Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him particularly easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles and more generally as the Lord of beginnings and the Lord of obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as the Patron of letters during writing sessions.(Wikipedia)
Deryn and I had a late flight so needed to kill a few hours in the morning. We walked up from Dulwich and entered what must be one of the strangest museums. The Horniman houses an eclectic collection of objects with no real theme holding them together. Preserved bugs and butterflies are within reach of voodoo shrines, musical instruments and Hindu and Buddhist figurines. The history of how the museum came into being, below, perhaps explains this mix.
Still it’s much loved and still attracts attendees and during our visit hundreds of tiny kids lining up for the dinosaur exhibition. It also proved a rich seam for amateur photographers! As my photography collection too lacks a theme I had no restrictions in capturing some these treasures.
“Frederick John Horniman, Victorian tea trader and philanthropist, began collecting objects, specimens and artefacts 'illustrating natural history and the arts and handicrafts of various peoples of the world' from around 1860. His overarching mission was to 'bring the world to Forest Hill' and educate and enrich the lives of the local community.
His travels took him to far flung destinations such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Burma, China, Japan, Canada and the United States collecting objects which 'either appealed to his own fancy or that seemed to him likely to interest and inform those who had not had the opportunity to visit distant lands'. Mr Horniman’s interest as a collector was well known and many travellers approached him with specimens and curiosities.
By the late nineteenth century, these 'natural, industrial and artistic spoils had accumulated to such an extent that he gave up the whole house to the collections'.
His wife is reported to have said 'either the collection goes or we do'. With that, the family moved to Surrey Mount.”

Es war 1988, wir erwarteten unser erstes Kind und eine dazu passende größere Wohnung, als Ganesha uns in der Auslage eines Second-Hand-Ladens in Wien-Simmering erwartete. Wir sahen uns an und wussten in diesem Moment, daß dieser Ganesha zu unserem Leben gehören sollte. So nimmt er nun seit vielen Jahren einen erhöhten Platz inmitten unserer Familie ein und wir sind glücklich miteinander. Ganesha gilt als Beseitiger von Hindernissen und manchmal denke ich, dieses kleine niedliche Stofftier ist seiner göttlichen Aufgabe wirklich gerecht geworden ... ;-)
It was 1988, we were expecting our first child and a bigger flat to go with it, when Ganesha was waiting for us in the display of a second-hand shop at Vienna-Simmering. We looked at each other and knew at that moment that this Ganesha should be part of our lives. So now for many years he has occupied an elevated place in the midst of our family and we are happy together. Ganesha is considered to be the remover of obstacles and sometimes I think this cute little stuffed animal has really done justice to his divine task ... ;-)
Sasivekalu Ganesha Temple, a giant monolithic statue of Lord Ganesha, is one of the popular attractions in Hampi. The statue is 2.4 metres (8 feet) tall.
According to the Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha is a deity who loves food very much. It is said that once Ganesha had eaten so much food that his tummy was on the verge of bursting out. Finding no other option to save his tummy, Ganesha caught hold of a snake and tied it around his tummy as a belt to prevent it from bursting. The statue of Sasivekalu Ganesha has a snake tied around the tummy in reference to this mythological incident. (zoom to see in the picture)
Origin of the name ‘Sasivekalu Ganesha’
The stomach or pot belly of the deity resembles the shape of a mustard seed. Mustard seed is known as Sasivekalu in the local language of the land. Thus, the statue has been named as Sasivekalu Ganesha.
Ganesha — the elephant-deity riding a mouse —has become one of the commonest mnemonics for anything associated with Hinduism in India.This not only suggests the importance of Ganesha but also shows how popular and pervasive is in the minds of the masses.
Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the dispenser of magic, surprise, and laughter.
