The Union of Shanti and Shiva

The One Tusked One waits at the gate,

And guards it while Parvati bathes.

Remove all obstacles for me,

Om Sri Ganapati.

Drink from the Milk Sea,
And suck out the poison,
Saving us all from ourselves.
Maybe the best thing,
Would just be to destroy us,
The Blue Throated Dancer moves on.
And a thousand lotus petals blossom,
As Shanti rises from the water,
And a million universes are created,
As Heaven and Earth are consummated.
Drink from the Milk Sea,
And suck out the poison,
Saving us all from ourselves.
Maybe the best thing,
Would just be to destroy us,
The Blue Throated Dancer moves on.
