## Prayer to Ganapati Muni ##

 

vande shriiramaNarSheraacaaryasya padaabjam .

yo me.adarshayadiishaM bhaantaM dhvaantamatiitya ..

 

## I bow down at the Lotus Feet of Sage Sri Ramana, the

great teacher, who has shown me the Self-effulgent Supreme

Lord beyond nescience. ##

 

o~NkaaravadanaM vandyaM kaviinaamaadimaM kavim .

vande gaNapatiM devaM naraveShadharaM gurum ..

 

## I bow to the adorable God Ganapati, Pranava-faced, the

original Poet of poets, the Guru in human disguise. ##

 

vedairbodhavate giraaM vilasitaiH sammodamudraavate

dhiirairbhaaratasuuribhirbalavate puurvaiH pratiShThaavate .

mantraiH mitravate maharShicaranaiH aacaaryalakShmivate

kaavyaiH kaNThavate dhiyaa dhanavate kasmaicidasmai namaH ..

 

## His wisdom is founded on the Vedas. With scintillating speech he

is poised in Bliss. His strength has its foundation on the steadfast

seers of this sacred land of Bharata. He stands firm by the

realisations of the ancients. The mantras are his close companions.

It is his good fortune to have the Maharshi as his Guru. His voice

reverberates with poetry. His intellect is his wealth. Salutations to

him, the ineffable. ##

## Though physically not near to us, thou art close to our hearts. Thy

presence is intense by the mere remembrance that makes us happy.

No wonder for thou reignest shining in our hearts. ##
