Ganesha hymn

Filed under: Hinduism,Slokas — hindumommy @ 2:13 pm

This is the Ganesha bhajan that we learnt to chant as kids (English meaning in brackets).

Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.

(Glory to you, O Lord Ganesha!
Born of Parvati, daughter of the Himalayas, and the great Shiva.)

Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari
Mathe par tilak sohe, muse ki savari

(O Lord of compassion, you have a single tusk, four arms,
A vermilion mark of on your forehead, and ride on a mouse)

Pan chadhe, phul chadhe, aur chadhe meva
Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant kare seva.

(People offer you betel leaves, blossoms, fruits
And sweets, while saints and seers worship you.)

Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva…

Andhan ko ankh det, kodhin ko kaya
Banjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya

(You bestow vision on the blind, chastened body on the leprous,
Children on the sterile, and wealth on the destitute)

Surya shaam sharan aye, safal kije seva.

(We pray to thee day and night, please bestow success upon us.)

Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva…
