Sankatanashana Sri Ganesha Sthothram by Maharishi Narada – Narada Puranam – Lyrics & meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||













I shall bow down my head and prostrate before Lord Vinayaka who is the son of Goddess Gauri, whoever worship Lord Ganesha with utmost devotion and faith would be blessed with long life, wealth and all his/her desires would be fulfilled.  My initial salutation to Lord Ganesha, who has curved trunk/Vakrathundam, secondly to Lord Ganesha as Eka Dhantham/single tusk, thirdly to Lord Ganesha who has black colored eyes/Krishnapingaksham, fourthly to Lord Ganesha who has the mouth of an elephant/Gajavathram, fifth to Lord Ganesha who has pot belly/Lambodhara, sixth to Lord Ganesha who has colossal form/Vikatam, seventh to Lord Ganesha who is the destroyer of obstacles/Vignarajam, eighth to Lord Ganesha who has the complexion of fumes/Dhoomravarnam, ninth to Lord Ganesha who is decked in crescent moon on forehead/Phalachandram, tenthly to Lord Ganesha who is superior among Ganas/Vinayaka, eleventh to Lord Ganesha who is supreme among the Ganas and deities/Ganapathi, and twelfth to Lord Ganesha who has the face of an elephant/Gajananam.



Whoever recites or listens to the glorious twelve names of  Lord Ganesha during the three divisions of a day would be freed from the fear of obstacles and all the desires would be fulfilled, whoever desirous to attain knowledge would be blessed with abundance of knowledge, whoever desirous to attain wealth would be blessed with abundance of riches, whoever desirous to attain a virtuous offspring would be blessed with an virtuous offspring, and whoever desirous to attain Moksha/liberation from the repeated births would be blessed with salvation.   It is definite that whoever recites or listens to these glorious verses continuously for six months with utmost faith and devotion would be blessed with abundance of pieities, and by the end of a year they would attain abundance of meritorious rewards.  Whoever write the above glorious verses and present to eight Brahmins would be blessed with supreme intelligence by the grace of Lord Ganesha.
