  🕉 ️ Ganesha in the Floodwaters: Four Lessons for a Time of Crisis   Ganesha in the Floodwaters: Four Lessons for a Time of Crisis As the Ganesh festival unfolds with music, modaks, and clay idols returning to water, another kind of immersion is happening—one that is not chosen, but endured. Across India and neighbouring countries, floodwaters have swallowed homes, memories, and livelihoods. In this moment, the lessons of Ganesha feel less like celebration and more like quiet guidance. Some of the lessons which one can learn from Ganesha during this crisis are:   1.    Big Ears, Deep Listening Ganesha’s ears remind us to listen—not just to headlines, but to the silences between them. To hear the grief of those whose stories won’t trend, and to hold space without rushing to fix or explain.   2.    Small Steps, Steady Hands   The mouse at Ganesha’s feet teaches us humility. Relief doesn’t always roar—it arrives in small acts: ...
