Amma was making dosai pancakes for breakfast for her two sons, Vignesh, age seven, and Chandran, age five. The boys got into a terrific argument over who was going to get the first dosai. They grew loud and rowdy. Amma saw this as a teaching opportunity, so she quieted the boys and said. “Now boys, do you know what Ganesha would do? He would say, ‘Give the first dosai to others.’ ” The boys listened carefully as she spoke. Vignesh turned to Chandran and said: “Chandran, you be Ganesha.”
