vakratuṇḍa mahākāya stotram

Vakratunda Mahakaya is a celebrated Sanskrit invocatory shloka dedicated to Lord Ganesha. It describes Ganesha with a curved trunk (Vakratunda), a massive body (Mahakaya), brilliance of a million suns (Suryakoti Samaprabha), and prays for the removal of all obstacles from any undertaking. This universally recited prayer is traditionally chanted at the beginning of any auspicious activity, worship, or endeavor to invoke Ganesha's blessings for a successful completion.
