Sri Gananathashtakam – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall prostrate before Lord  Ganesha who is the chief of Ganas/Gananayaka, he have marvelous features with large tooth and huge stature, he has the luster of precious yellow metal, he have pot sized belly and wide eyes.  I shall prostrate before Lord Ganesha who is the chief of Ganas/Gananayaka, he is adorned in serpent as Yajjopaveetha/sacred thread across the chest, his face has the luster of moon, I shall prostrate before Lord Ganesha who is the chief of Ganas/Gananayaka,  he is dearest darling of Goddess Ambika, he is the source of delight of Goddess Ambika, he is positioned with Goddess Ambika, he is fond of fervent devotees, he is highly enthusiastic,  I shall prostrate before Lord Ganesha who is the chief of Ganas/Gananayaka, he is decked in various precious gem decorated ornaments, he is adorned in various precious ornaments, he is most attractive deity with unique features,  I shall prostrate before Lord Ganesha who is the chief of Ganas/Gananayaka, he has the face resemblance to Gaja/elephant, she is illustrious among deities/Surashreshta, his wide big ears resembles to Chamara, he is wielded in Pasham and Angusham,  I shall prostrate before Lord Ganesha who is the chief of Ganas/Gananayaka, he is the destroyer of obstacles, he is pure with no obstruction, he is the provider of Sarvasiddhi.  Whoever recites or listens to the Ganashtakam on daily basis would get their desires fulfilled and remain intelligent and wealthiest always.
