Q: What is Sankatanasana Ganesa Stotram Deva Krtam?

Read Sankatanasana Ganesa Stotram Deva Krtam in English (IAST) script — full lyrics with English meaning and transliteration. From the fortieth chapter of the Upasana Khanda of the Ganesha Purana, spoken by the gods, and it is a litany of a single phrase: salutation, salutation, twice at the head of every half-line, so the whole hymn arrives in pairs. What it salutes is almost entirely abstract, and it is worth saying that this is not the familiar Sankatanashana of the twelve names. Salutation to the form of the highest truth, to the cause of everything and the doer of everything, and to the one who dwells within all the senses; to what is made of beings and to the maker of beings; to the awakener of every thought; to the dissolution of the universe and its arising; to the cause of causes; to the one unseen by those who know the Vedas. Its sharpest pair falls near the end — destroyer of the desires of the undevout, and knower of the desires of the devout.
