Good wishes for Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste all.

 

zuklAmbaradharaM viSNuM zazivarNaM chaturbhujam

prasannavadanaM dhyAyet sarvavighnopa zAntaye

 

Lord Ganesha, who wears a white garment,

who is all-pervading, who has a bright

complexion of the moon, who has four arms,

who has an ever smiling face, upon that God,

I meditate for removal of all kinds of obstacles.

 

 

yat pAda pallavayugaM vinidhAya kumbha

dvandvai praNAma samaye sa gaNAdhirAjaH

vighnAn vihantum alam asya jagat trayasya

govindam Adi puruSaM tamahaM bhajAmi

 

- Sri Brahma Samhitam. 50

 

I adore my primeval Lord Govinda,

Whose tender-leaf-like delicate feet

are held as adornments by Lord Ganesha

upon the pair of tumuli protruding from

his elephant head while prostrating and

thus forming the auspicious 'kalasha' to

destroy all the obstacles on the path

of progress in the three worlds.

 

Jai Sri Ganesha!

Jaya Sri Radhey!

Jaya Sri Radhey! Saint Sri Tulasi dasa has

glorified Sri Ganesh in his famous bhajan:

 

gaayeeye ganapati jaga vandana,

shankara suvana bhavaani nandana,

siddhi sadana gaja vadana vinaayaka

kripaa sindhu sundara saba laayaka

 

modakapriya muda mangala daata

vidyaa vaaridhi buddhi vidhaata!

 

maangata tulasidaasa kara jore,

basahim raama-siya maanasa more!!

 

Let us sing glories unto the world-adored

beloved child of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati.

He is the treasure house of all perfections

and the ocean of Grace.

The supremely benevolent Lord Vinayaka has

a beautiful face of the majestic elephant.

 

He is very fond of 'modaka'

(dumplings made of rice flour) and

the giver of joy and auspiciousness.

Lord Ganesh is the ocean of knowledge

as well as the origin of pure wisdom.

 

Saint Tulasidas with folded hands

fervently prays to Lord Ganesh for

the kind blessing that his Beloved

Ramacandra along with His Consort Sita

may RESIDE forever in his heart!!

 

Jaya Sri Ganesh!

Jaya Siya Rama!

Jaya Sri Radhey!
