Sri Ganapathi Sthothram Sri Mahalakshmikritham – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who has pot sized belly, he has performed various amusements, he is supreme bliss, he is perceivable through intense devotion and faith, he holds Anantha on navel, he has various incarnations, he has infinite number of feet and hands, he is supreme bliss, he represents living as well as non-living things, he remains without properties as well, he is the provider of Yogashanthi, he symbolizes supreme Yogi, he is eternal, he is Ganesha who receives initial oblation, he represents creation, preservation and destruction, I shall repeatedly prostrate before Vighnesha who eradicates all impediments of the worshiper, he is free from creation, preservation and destruction, he is worshiped by all, he is most venerable, he is the cause for all the great causes, he is supreme Lord, he is Vinayaka who is the commander of all, he is eminent, he is Dundiraja and Heramba as well, he is Lord of fervent devotees, he is the creator, he causes deluge at the end of Yuga, he is the protector as well, he is void of Thrigunas, he is Lord of Lords, I shall repeatedly prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who is store house of virtues, he disperse the fruit of Karma, he inspires to perform the Karma, he is void of Karma and fruits of Karma, I shall repeatedly prostrate before Lambodhara who has pot sized belly, he is  Lord of Yoga, he is supreme Yogi, he is Gajanana who is elephant faced, he provides Yoga siddhi to worshiper, he is serene, he is absolute Bhramam, Oh! Gananatha who is the leader of Ganas, how can I eulogize your endless splendor? Oh! Prabho, you are absolute Bhramam, Oh! Prabho, I shall prostrate before you in order to please you, I am highly fortunate to witness you, in this way Yudhishtira eulogized the splendor of Ganesha tears overflowing with intense devotion and grief, Lord Ganesha showered abundance of boons as desired by Yudhishtira.”  Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi engaged in the veneration of Lord Ganesha with intense faith and eulogized his glories.
