Mudakaraatha Modakam Sada Vimukti Saadhakam
Kalaadharaavatamsakam Vilasiloka Rakshakam
Anaaya Kaika Naayakam Vinasitebha Daityakam
Nataasubhasu Naashakam Namaami Tham Vinaayakam.

I salute that remover of obstacles,
Who has modakas in his hand
Who always bestows salvation
Who wears a part of moon on his head
Who protects this world which is varied,
Who is the leader of those who cannot be lead,
Who is the cause of destruction of asuras,
And who destroys all things which are not good.


Natetaraati Bheekaram Navoditaarka Bhaasvaram
Namat Suraari Nirjanam Nataadhi Kaapa Duddharam
Suresvaram Nidheesvaram Gajesvaram Ganeshvaram
Mahesvaram Samaasraye Paraatparam Nirantaram.

I bow before that great Lord permanently,
Who creates fear in the enemies of his devotees,
Who sparkles like the just risen Sun,
Who is saluted by Gods and Asuras
Who destroys obstacles of his devotees,
Who is the God of all devas,
Who is the God of all wealth,
Who is the God of all elephants,
And who is the leader of the army of Lord Shiva.


Samasta Loka Samkaram Nirasta Daitya Kunjaram
Daredarodaram Varam Vare Bhavaktra Maksharam
Krupaakaram Kshamaakaram Mudaakaram Yasaskaram
Manaskaram Namaskrutaam Namaskaromi Bhaasvaram.

I bow to that Ganapati who shines like the Sun,
Who bestows peace to all the worlds,
Who removed the Gajamukhasura from this world,
Who has a very big paunch,
Who has an elephant-face which blesses,
And who is the one who shows kindness
Who is tolerant
Who is full of blessing,
And who showers great fame,
To those who salute Him.


Akimchanaarti Marjanam Chirantanokti Bhaajanam
Puraari Poorva Nandanam Suraari Garva Charvanam
Prapancha Naasha Bheeshanam Dhananjayaadi Bhushanam
Kapola Daana Vaaranam Bhajaey Puraana Vaaranam.

I salute the very ancient elephant-god
Who destroys the wants of the have nots,
Who has been worshipped since ancient times,
Who is the eldest son of the lord who destroyed cities,
Who eats away the pride of the enemies of the gods,
Who is awesome at the time of final deluge,
Who wears serpents like Dananjaya as ornaments,
And who is fierce like the elephant in rut.

Nitaantikaanta Dantakaanti Mantakaanta Kaatmajam
Achintya Rupa Mantaheena Mantaraaya Krintanam
Hrudantarey Nirantaram Vasantameva Yoginam
Tameka Danta Meva Tam Vichintayaami Santatam.

I always meditate only on that God with single tusk,
Who is ever lustrous tusk is very pretty,
Who is the son of Lord who killed the god of death,
Who has a form beyond ones imagination,
Who is endless,
Who tears asunder all obstacles,
And who dwells forever in the heart of Yogis ,
Like the season of spring.

The resultant benefit of Chanting Ganesha Pancharatnam
He, who remembers with respect every morning,
These five gems of the great Lord Ganapati,
And who meditates in his heart the leader of ganas,
Will soon be blessed with a healthy life,
Free of all problems, endowed with great peace
Great children, longevity and spiritual and physical wealth.

Ganesh Atharvashirsha

It is the practice and Tradition in Indian Religion to invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha, the Adipathi of the Ganas, to remove any obstacles. Following the same tradition, the hymn has been taken from Ganesha Atharvana Sirsha which sings the praise the Lord Ganesha. The Complete Hymn and its meaning is given below:

1.Hari-hi Om
Namaste Ganapatayei
Twameva Prat-yaksham Tattwa-masi
Twameva Kevalam Kartasi
Twameva Kevalam Dhartasi
Twameva Kevalam Hartas
Twameva Sarvam Khal-vidam Brahmasi
Twam Sakshad Atmasi Nityam.

Salutations to thee 0 Lord Ganapati, You are the living Truth. Adorations to you, 0 Living God, 0 embodiment of the great saying, "Thou Art That." You are the creator and supporter, as well as the dissolver of this universe. All this is pervaded by you, and you are the eternal Atman.


2. Ritam Vachmi
Satyam Vachmi

I speak that which is right. I speak that which is true.


3. Ava Twam Mam
Ava Vaktaram
Ava Shrotaram
Ava Dataram
Ava Dhataram
Ava Nuchanam
Ava Shisham
Ava Pash-chattat
Ava Purastat
Avo-tarattat
Ava Dakshi-nattat
Ava Chor-dwattat
Ava Dharattat
Sarvato Mam Pahi Pahi Samantat

I see and glorify your transcendental form and listen to your great virtues. I adore and worship you. I have dedicated my life for studying your great deeds. Protect me from the west and the east, from the north and the south, from above and below. Protect me from all calamities. Look at me, 0 Lord, protect me.


4. Twam Vang-maya-stwam Chinmayaha
Twam Ananda Maya Twam Brahma Mayaha
Twam Sachidananda Adwiti Yo-asi
Twam Prat-yak-sham Brahmasi
Twam Jnana Mayo Vijnana Mayo-asi

You are the embodiment of all eloquence and wisdom. You are pure consciousness. You are the embodiment of bliss. You are Brahman. You are truth, knowledge and bliss absolute. You are one without a second. You are the visible Deity appearing as both knowledge and highest understanding.


5. Sarvam Jaga-didam Twatto Jayate
Swam Jaga-didam Twatta Stish-tathi
Sarvam Jaga-didam Twayi Laya Meshathi
S a m Jaga-didam Twayi Prat-yethi
Twam Bhurnir Apo Analo Anilo Nabhaha
Twam Chatvari Vak Padani

This whole universe has emerged from you. This whole universe is sustained and maintained by you. This whole creation is ultimately dissolved by your power, as is merges back into you. Thus you are the earth water, fire, air and sky. You are the source of both words and their eloquence.


6. Twam Guna Traya Titaha
Twam Awashta Traya Titaha
Twam Deha Traya Titaha
Twam Kala Traya Titaha
Twam Muladhara Sthito Asi Nityam

Twam Brahma, Twam Vishni, Twam Rudras
Twam Indras, Twam Agnis, Twam Vayus,
Twam Suryas, Twam Chandramas,
Twam Brahma, Bhur Bhuvaha Swarom

You are beyond the three gunas known as sattwa (poise), rajas (passion-activity) and tamas (ignorance). You are beyond the triple bodies known as physical, subtle and causal as well as the three states of consciousness (wakeful, dream and deepsleep). You are beyond past, present and future. The Muladhara Chakra, the root support mystical center at the base of the spine is Your dwelling place. You are theembodiment of three powers known as Jnana Shakti (wisdom-knowledge power),Iccha Shakti (Will Power) and Kriya Shakti (creative power). The great yogis always meditate on you. kou are Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. You are Agni (fire god), Vayu (wind god) and Surya (sun god). You are Chandra (moon god) and that Brahrna which pervades the earth, space and heaven. You are Om.

Saisha Ganesha Vidya
Ganaka Rishihi
Nichirad Gayatri Chandaha
Ganapatir Devata
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha

The first letter in the word Gana is "Guh." That I utter first. Then is the nasal sound "M." When chanted together they become "Gum," your seed sound, 0 Ganesha. This appears like the beautiful crescent moon. This sound is your transcendental form. Guh forms the first letter and "Ah" forms the second letter and "M" forms the final letter. The sound - GUM is the essence of all sounds. I meditate on Nada, the cosmic sound. I meditate on the holy scriptures. For this Ganesha Vidya, the sage is Ganaka. Gayatri is the Metre. Ganapati is the presiding deity of this mantra, and the greatest mantra of Ganesha is Om Gum Ganapateyei Namaha.


8. Ekadantaya Vidmahe Vaktratundaya Dhimahi Tanno Danti Prachodayat
Ekadantaya Vidmahe Vaktratundaya Dhimahi Tanno Danti Prachodayat
Ekadantaya Vidmahe Vaktratundaya Dhimahi Tanno Danti Prachodayat

I recognize the one-tusked elephant-headed Lord Ganesha. I meditate on His twisted trunk symbolizing Om. May that one-tusked Lord enlighten and inspire me. (This is the Ganesha Gayatri.)

9. Elcadantam Chatur Hastam Pasham Ankusha Dharinam
Radham-cha Varadam Hastair Bibhranam Mushaka Dhwajam
Raktam Lambodaram Shurpa Kamakam Rakta Vasasam
Rakta Gandha Nulip Tangam Rakta Pushpaihi Supujitam
Bhaktanu Kampinam Devam Jagat Karanam Achyutam
Avir Bhutam-cha Shrisht-yadau Prakrite-he Purushat-param
Evam Dhya-yati Yo Nityam Sa Yogi Yoginam Varaha

I meditate on the one-tusked Lord Ganesha's face. He has four arms. He is holding a noose in His upper right hand and holds the goad with His upper left hand. In His lower left hand he is holding a tusk, and he is showing the gesture of benediction with his lower right hand. Her has the banner of a mouse. His color is red. He has a big belly showing that all the Lokas are contained within Him. His ears resemble winnowing baskets. He is clad with red-colored clothes. His whole body is smeared with red sandalwood paste and he is worshipped with red flowers. He melts for his devotees and protects them. He is the primal cause of this universe. He is the deathless principle. He manifested before this creation. He is beyond Prakriti, the
primordial energy, and Purusha, the individual soul. Whoever meditates on him thusly everyday, that yogi is greatest among yogis.


10. Namo Vratpatayei
Namo Ganapatayei
Namo Pramatha-patayei
Namaste-astu Lambodarayei Ekadantaya Vigna Nashine
Shiva Stutaya
Sri Varada Murtaye Namo Namaha

Salutations to the Lord of the divine species. Salutations to the Lord of the ganas. Salutations to the attendants of Lord Shiva. Salutations to the cosmic-bellied one, the one-tusked elephant Lord, the remover of obstacles, the son of Lord Shiva. Salutations to the one who showers his blessings.
