Ganesha Mantra

The Ganesha Mantra

Om parvati pataye

Hara hara hara mahadev

Gajananam buta

Ganadi sevatam

Kapitha jambu

Phalacharu bhakshanam

Umasutam shoka

Vinasha karakam

Namami vigneshvara

Pada pankajam

Translation:

O elephant-faced God, Ganesha,

you are served by the attendants of Shiva

and you eat forest apples and blackberries.

You are Uma’s son, the destroyer of sorrows.

I bow to the lotus feet of the remover of obstacles.
