The Hindu god Ganesha is the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom, but he is most revered as the remover of obstacles.
What obstacle would you ask Ganesha to remove?
Wrong is Wrong
“You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”
― Malcolm X
When have you chosen to stand in opposition to your own political party or your own friends?

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but [one] must take it because conscience tells [them] it is right.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
