Michael: Does it disturb you that you look like an elephant?
Ganesh: Not really. It's something you get used to. It makes me stand out from the crowd. Not many gods look like me.
Michael: You are the god of wealth and success. How has that worked out for you?
Ganesh: Well, I'm a god, aren't I? You can't get much more successful than that. As for my wealth, I would rather not talk about it, for tax reasons.
Michael: Millions of people pray to you every day. Does it help them?
Ganesh: You would have to ask them. I don't think it does them any harm. If you want to get rich there are worse gods you can go to.
Michael: What about Lakshmi?
Ganesh: I don't want to talk about her.
Michael: Are you rivals?
Ganesh: No comment.
Michael: What do you think of the money mystics and financial shamans?
Ganesh: I know they work in investment banks now. It's a smart move. Mysticism is becoming more serious, more commercial, and that can only be a good thing.
Michael: Do you know Big Herb?
Ganesh: Yes, he's a friend. We may work together soon on a new project, but I can't say much more than that at the moment.
Michael: Where do you see yourself, in say, a thousand years time?
Ganesh: Right now, my power base is in India. I would like to expand beyond that. I'm looking at America.
