|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who is the commander of Ganas, he is perceivable for the Vairagin who is free from impurities like Ragadhvesha/ego, lust, desire, anger etc.. he is impossible to perceive for the people who are soaked in impurities, he is worshiped by Suras and Asuras as well,  he eradicates aging, accidental and unexpected deaths, he is supreme preceptor who imparts knowledge of self , he represents Hari who showers wealth and opulence, whoever venerates Ganadhipa who is extremely compassionate and promising would be blessed with success in endeavors.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who is the son of Goddess Parvathi/Gireendhraja/daughter of Mount Himavan, his face has the luster of lotus flower, he is blissful, he has the radiance of Bhaskara/surya, his face has the resemblance to elephant, he is eulogized and surrounded by the illustrious Rishis and Sages , he has mouse as celestial vehicle, he has pot sized belly, he has great effulgence,  he excels the luster of lotus flower, he is lovely child and greatest companion of the worshiper,  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who is the commander of Ganas, he is worshiped by illustrious Sage Shuka, he symbolizes the sacred syllables of Gakara, he showers abundance of boons and fulfills all the desires of the worshiper who venerates him with utmost faith and devotion at his lotus feet, he has great radiance, he has powerful four arms, he is worshiped with fully bloomed lotus flowers, he is absolute truth who imparts the knowledge of ‘Self’.  I shall always prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who eradicates obstacles, he showers stately status to the worshiper,  he is  commander in the abode of deities, he eradicates fever like infectious diseases, he is the source of brilliance to deities, he holds lotus flower and Srini as weapon, he is void of impurities, changes, hostility, perturbation, grimace, etc.. he is the source of delight, he dispel fatigue, laziness, and lethargy, he brings harmony, he is worshiped by moon,  he is forgiving nature, he is the commander of Ganas, he is worshiped by Goddess RamA, and Madhava, he is son of Yamanthaka/Lord Shiva who conquered Lord Yama, he is the provider of accomplishmet in tasks and Shadgunas known as opulence, wealth, courage, power, valor etc.. to the worshiper who are surrendered at his lotus feet.  The above are the glorious verse of  Ganadhipasya Panchakam, which removes Nrina, fulfills all the desires of the worshiper who are surrendered at his lotus feet, whoever reads or listens to it would attain supreme knowledge, long life, abundance of wealth and virtuous offspring.
