We had lots of questions when we began communities in India. Interreligious dialogue or living together is never easy. We sought our own way. We had a little chapel and we put a tiny cross at the center. Then Mohanraj came to us, bringing with him a big picture of Ganesh. Ganesh is a Hindu god in the form of an elephant. We Christians are more used to doves than elephants. But elephants are strong and remove obstacles and blockages.[Jean Vanier in "Living Gently in a Violent World," page 31]____________________________
