Ganesha

मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम्। अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम्॥

Mudakaratta Modakam Sada Vimukti Sadhakam Kaladharavatamsakam Vilasiloka Rakshakam Anayakaika Nayakam Vinashitebha Daityakam Natashubhashu Nashakam Namami Tam Vinayakam

I bow to Lord Vinayaka, who joyfully holds the modaka (sweet of divine bliss) in his hand and who ceaselessly strives for the liberation of his devotees. He wears the crescent moon as his ornament and, with a spirit of playful grace, protects all the worlds. He stands alone as the one true master for those who have no other refuge, and he destroys the demonic forces that assail them. For all who surrender at his feet, he swiftly annihilates every trace of inauspiciousness.

नतेतरातिभीकरं नवोदितार्कभास्वरं नमत्सुरारिनिर्जरं नताधिकापदुद्धरम्। सुरेश्वरं निधीश्वरं गजेश्वरं गणेश्वरं महेश्वरं तमाश्रये परात्परं निरन्तरम्॥

Natetarati Bhikaram Navoditarka Bhasvaram Namatsurari Nirjaram Natadhikapad Uddharam Sureshvaram Nidhishvaram Gajeshvaram Ganeshvaram Maheshvaram Tamashreya Paratparam Nirantaram

To the arrogant who refuse to bow, he reveals a fearsome form, yet his true countenance shines with the gentle radiance of a newly risen sun. He is eternally undecaying, reverenced by the gods, and he rescues those who surrender to him from the most overwhelming calamities. He is the lord of the gods, the lord of all treasures, the lord with the majestic elephant face, and the lord of the celestial hosts. He is the great lord, supreme beyond the supreme; I take refuge in him without ceasing.

समस्तलोकशङ्करं निरस्तदैत्यकुञ्जरं दरेतरोदरं वरं वरेभवक्त्रमक्षरम्। कृपाकरं क्षमाकरं मुदाकरं यशस्करं मनस्करं नमस्कृतां नमस्करोमि भास्वरम्॥

Samastaloka Shankaram Nirasta Daitya Kunjaram Daretarodaram Varam Varebha Vaktram Aksharam Kripakaram Kshamakaram Mudakaram Yashaskaram Manaskaram Namaskritam Namaskaromi Bhasvaram

He is the auspicious power that sustains all worlds and the force that vanquishes even the mightiest of demons. His expansive form is a boon to all, and his noble elephant face reflects his imperishable nature. He is the bestower of compassion, the wellspring of forgiveness, the giver of joy, and the source of all glory. To those who bow before him with reverence, he grants the gift of a refined and illuminated mind. I offer my salutations to his radiant, shining form.

अकिञ्चनार्तिमार्जनं चिरन्तनोक्तिभाजनं पुरारिपूर्वनन्दनं सुरारिगर्वचर्वणम्। प्रपञ्चनाशभीषणं धनञ्जयादिभूषणं कपोलदानवारणं भजे पुराणवारणम्॥

Akincanarti Marjanam Chirantanokti Bhajanam Purari Purva Nandanam Surari Garva Charvanam Prapancha Nasha Bhishanam Dhananjayadi Bhushanam Kapola Daanavaranam Bhaje Purana Varanam

He wipes away the sufferings of the destitute and the helpless, and he is the worthy vessel of all ancient words of praise. He is the beloved first son of Lord Shiva, the destroyer of the three cities, and he crushes the arrogance of the enemies of the gods. He wields a power so terrible that it can annihilate the delusions of worldly existence, and he is adorned with the splendor of fire and the elements. From his temples flows the fragrant rut of grace, like sacred wisdom flowing from the ancient Puranas. I worship this primordial, elephant-formed lord.

नितान्तकान्तदन्तकान्तिमन्तकान्तकात्मजं अचिन्त्यरूपमन्तहीनमन्तरायकृन्तनम्। हृदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनां तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम्॥

Nitanta Kanta Danta Kantim Antakantakatmajam Achintya Rupam Anta Hinam Antaraya Krintanam Hridantare Nirantaram Vasantam Eva Yoginam Tam Ekadantam Eva Tam Vichintayami Santatam

His single tusk gleams with a beauty beyond compare, and he is the son of Lord Shiva, who conquered Yama, the lord of death. His true form is inconceivable and without any limit, and he severs the obstacles that bind the soul. He dwells perpetually in the innermost cave of the heart of yogis, an unfailing presence of stillness and light. Upon that Ekadanta, the single-tusked one, I meditate continuously and without end.

महागणेशपञ्चरत्नमादरेण योऽन्वहं प्रजल्पति प्रभातके हृदि स्मरन् गणेश्वरम्। अरोगतामदोषतां सुसाहितीं सुपुत्रतां समाहितायुरष्टभूतिमभ्युपैति सोऽचिरात्॥

Maha Ganesha Pancharatnam Adarena Yo'nvaham Prajalpati Prabhatake Hridi Smaran Ganeshvaram Arogatam Adoshatam Susahitim Suputratam Samahitayur Ashtabhutim Abhyupaiti So'chirat

Whoever recites this great Ganesha Pancharatnam with devotion each day at dawn, holding Ganeshvara lovingly in the heart, will swiftly attain freedom from disease and freedom from fault, a harmonious household and worthy children, a long and steady life, and the eightfold supernatural powers. Such is the unfailing grace of Ganesha to those who remember him.
