Lord Ganesha

śrī gaṇanāthaṃ bhajāmyahaṃ

(Sri Gananatham Bhajamyaham in English (IAST))

Muthuswami Dikshitar

Sri Gananatham Bhajamyaham is a beautiful devotional composition by the legendary Carnatic music composer Muthuswami Dikshitar. Set in the raga Kanakangi, the song serves as a profound salutation to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom. By praising Ganesha's auspicious attributes and his role as the leader of the ganas, the stotra evokes a sense of spiritual discipline and inner clarity. Chanting or listening to this piece is believed to bestow mental peace, remove intellectual impediments, and invoke the divine grace of Ganesha for a successful and harmonious life.
