Learning from an imperfect God.

You bring cheer, tears and hence so dear ….Bappa(Elephant God) and Mumbai or Maharashtra are inseparable .Physically he may come only for eleven days ,but we carry him within our heart with equal love and care the year round .
As I sat looking at the visarjan (Idol immersion) ,contemplating if I should post  it on a global group .I began to look at him from a stranger’s eyes .Elephant head !human body ? so many arms …hey, he has a broken tooth and so out of shape ,abdominal obesity . But look at the fan following ,awesome.Is He a God?
Exactly! the best part of a Hindu God is none of our Gods is complete. Then ,we  humans are only mortals. (So, consoling )In spite of not scoring very high on looks ,He scores overall .He is the head of the army ,He is always the  first God in our prayers ,He can get rid of any obstacles ,He is the God of Knowledge .

Those of us who are Hindus know what his small eyes , big ears ,one tooth and  big stomach indicates. But I believe  that the biggest learning  for us is that TALENT ALWAYS LEADS .Do not look at your limitations .Focus on what you are good at and remember your TALENT  will help you rule and get accolades and fan following like our ”Bappa”.
