jaya jayājī gaṇapatī stotra

Victory, victory to you, Ganapati! Give me a clear mind and endless inspiration, so that I can sing your praise. Your name is Mangal Murti, the auspicious one. Indra and Chandra meditate on you, and Vishnu and Shankara worship you. O eternal Lord, they think of you at all times.

Your name is Vinayaka. Elephant-faced Lord, you bring good fortune. Just by remembering your name, all obstacles and all the evil of this dark age of Kali are burnt to ashes.

I belong at your feet, and I bow down at your feet. God of gods, single-tusked Lord, please listen to one request of mine.

Treat me like your own child and look after me in every way. Protect me when trouble comes. Lord, everything is in your hands.

Son of Gauri, you are Ganapati. Please listen to the prayer of your servants. I have come to your feet for shelter. Protect me in every way, my Lord.

You are my mother and my father, you are my God and King. You take care of all my needs, Ganapati, protector of those who have no one.

Elephant-faced one, big-bellied Lambodara, Siddhivinayaka, Bhalachandra with the moon on your forehead, Heramba, son of Shiva, Lord of the world, friend of the helpless.

Protector of devotees, have mercy on me, Gajanana, giver of blessings. You hold an axe, your colour is vermilion red, you destroy obstacles, and the whole world is your form.

Lord adored by the whole world, master of obstacles, lord of good fortune, holder of the axe. You free us from sin, you are Lord of all and friend of the poor. I bow to you.

I bow to you, remover of obstacles. I bow to you, single-tusked Lord. I bow to you, son of Girija. My Lord, I bow to you.

I am not looking for anything from praising you, or even from my devotion. The one wish that has grown in my heart is simply to see you.

I am only a foolish and ignorant person, but I always keep your feet in my mind. Lambodara, let me see you. Be kind to me, Lord of the world.

I am a child with little understanding, and you guide everyone. Elephant-faced Lord, you are the one who looks after your devotees.

Lord, I am poor and unlucky. Let my mind hold on to your name. You are my only shelter. Kind Lord, let me see you.

Whoever reads this Ganapati Stotra is given great wealth by the Lord. The vermilion-faced Lord also gives them deep knowledge and success in learning.

Ghosts, spirits and evil forces will never trouble that person. Worship the Lord in the proper way, and then recite this hymn of praise.

Recite it for six months and your wish will come true. This is never false. Divakar has placed his head at Ganapati's feet.

Here ends the Shri Ganapati Stotra. May it be offered to Shri Gajanana.
