I Will Teach You to Be Rich

The catch is: you have to come to my dance show this weekend to learn how. See, my group will be performing a piece to the Ganesha Pancharatnam Sloka (translation: Ganesha's Five Gems Hymn). In this Sloka, we cover all the necessary actions you need to take to get rich in all aspects of your life. Hint: they center around buttering up Ganesha.

Ganesha: Remover of Obstacles, Bestower of Shiny Things

For those of you unfamiliar with Ganesha: Ganesha (aka Ganesh, Ganapati, Vinayaka) is best recognized as the elephant-headed God of the Hindu pantheon. There's some debate over his relationships to other Gods, but the popular consensus is that he's the son of Shiva and Parvati and the brother of Muruga. And why the elephant head? The preferred story is that Shiva grew jealous of Ganesha when he came between Shiva and Parvati, driving him to behead Ganesha. Parvati was not impressed, so Shiva made it up to her by replacing Ganesha's head with that of an elephant. And all was forgiven!

In the piece I'm in this Saturday, we'll explain the precise complements you should pay Ganesha - every morning - to ensure success in life. Success in our piece includes (but is not limited to): no diseases, no sins, improved literary skills, babies, and eight (eight!) riches. Wow! How can you pass this up?

Here's the location information for the show this weekend:

    Everyday Superhero: I'm sorry you can't make it - I will be sure to update the blog with all the exciting highlights. The tofu breakfast burrito is a tofu scramble (crumbled up block of tofu fried in a pan for a bit) with rachero sauce and a bit of cheese and all wrapped up in a flour tortilla. It's actually pretty easy to make at home and it's SUPER yummy.

    Ed: Yes! Just watch out for the babies.
