While he was working part time as a cleaner when he first became a permanent resident in Canada and could legally find work- one of the places he worked was an old textile mill that was in the process of being converted into a &#8216;Corporate Centre&#8217; \/ Office Building. The building had some creepy areas, other people who were there at night reported seeing ghosts, experienced being touched and\/or pinched when nobody else was in the building. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Jim began chanting &#8220;Shri Ram&#8221; &#8211; a chant he picked up from a recording of music popular with Sufis &#8211; which was attributed to Mahatma Gandhi- He said he could feel his own voice vibrating in his chest and then all around him (after several minutes) in an unusually relaxing manner and then received a &#8216;spontaeneous visualization&#8217; in which Ganesh was dancing, walking along beside him as he dusted, mopped and wet-mopped the floors. A few minutes later his visualization had expanded to include a whole traveling group of Hindu Indian musicians, playing drums and other instruments as they walked along with Ganesh and Jim, clearing the creepy vibrations away with happy smiling feelings and light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">He said he&#8217;d never thought of Ganesh as a Dancer- but apparently most Hindu Indians know Ganesh as quite the accomplished dancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em>&#8212; H.J. d&#8217;A &#8212;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, January 28, 2018 &#8212;&gt; +3\u02daC \/ +37\u02daF with light rain falling in this part of Atlantic Canada &#8212; &#8212; Time for me to weigh in here with a copy &amp; paste of what I&#8217;m using as a sticky on my blog &#8212; &#8212; This was posted almost two and\u2026<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/aerendel.ca\/perspective\/2018\/01\/28\/re-search-for-images-of-ganesh\/\"><span>Continue reading<\/span><i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11,5,7,8,1,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-creativity","category-imported-from-one-of-our-other-blogs","category-life-should-be-more-fun","category-life-should-be-more-relaxed","category-uncategorized","category-we-need-more-positive-news"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9AY0V-1x","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":417,"url":"https:\/\/aerendel.ca\/perspective\/2025\/08\/11\/2025-08-11_before-after-screenshots-trouble-signing-in-to-todays-gfl-conference\/","url_meta":{"origin":95,"position":0},"title":"2025-08-11_Before &#038; After Screenshots = trouble signing in to todays&#8217; GFL&#8217; Conference &#8211;","author":"Jim","date":"August 11, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Monday, August 11, 2025 = +35\u02daC \/ 96\u02daF = Hot, Sunny, & Dusty @ 6:33 pm ADT in New Brunswick Canada -
