Ganesha Goes Coco

Ganesha Goes Coco
Uploaded by shastrix

The other evening, I was doing my long loop around Palm Meadows when I saw this on the sidewalk off 415, Phase Two, one of the houses in the "Coconut Grove" area of Palm Meadows.

Thought it was a Ganesha stone. When I picked it up, it was so light that I realized that it was a small coconut that became a Ganesha, right down to the placement of the eye!

To quote Sri Ramakrishna yet again:

The cockroach becomes motionless by constantly meditating on the kumira worm; it loses the power to move. At last it is transformed into a kumira. Similarly, by constantly meditating on God the bhakta loses his ego; he realizes that God is he and he is God. When the cockroach becomes the kumira everything is achieved. Instantly one obtains liberation.
