I have been introduced to this stotram by one of my spiritual colleagues who has achieved a good level of spiritual growth by reciting this Ganesha stotram for 5 years. Let’s move with ‘Sankath-Nashan’ Ganesh Stotra saluting to the great DemiGod and absolute truth Lord Gajanan.

नारद उवाच (Naradji Says)

प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं गौरी विनायकम् । भक्तावासं स्मरेन्नित्यं आयुःकामार्थ सिद्धये  ॥1॥

Pranmya Shirsa Devam Gauri Vinayakam Bhaktavasam Smer Nityamay Aayuha Kamarthsidhyaye ॥1॥

I bow down my head at the feet of Lord Ganesha – The son of Gauri who is also known as Vinayaka. Then the devotee of Lord Ganesha should daily recite this stotram for the blessing of Vinayaka for Long healthy life, fulfilling the desire of your life. Hence, one should recite his names on a daily basis.

प्रथमं वक्रतुडं च एकदंत द्वितीयकम् । तृतियं कृष्णपिंगात्क्षं गजववत्रं चतुर्थकम् ॥2॥

Pratham Vakra tudam cha Ekantant Dwitiyakam. Tritiya Krishna pingasaksam Gaja Vatram Chaturthar-kam ॥2॥

Lord Ganesha has different names in his salutations such as Prathamam – the one who is the absolute truth, who is first worshipped among DemiGods.

Second Name Ekdant – one who has one tooth, third is Krishna Pingaash means who has Krishna varna eyes – dark blackish eyes, Gajavaktram is the fourth name mean who has the Head of Elephant (elephant God ).

लम्बोदरं पंचमं च षष्ठं विकटमेव च। सप्तमं विघ्नराजं च धूम्रवर्णं तथाष्टमम्॥३॥

Lumbodaram Pancham Cha Sthathm Vikata Meva Cha Saptam Vighnarajendram Dhumvarna Tathasthak Mama ॥3॥

He (Almighty) is also known as Lambodar, one who has a big tummy, Vikataa (who is huge in shape), the seventh name is VignaRaja – who removed all types of hurdles /obstacles. Such Vignaraja (King god of hurdles remover) Eight names are DhumraVarna, those skin textures and body glory is like smoky white milk. I bow to the Godhead and Tathasthak – expect the divine blessing of Dhumravarna devta.

नवमं भाल चंद्रं च दशमं तु विनायकम् । एकादशं गणपतिं द्वादशं तु गजानन् ॥4॥

Navam Bhal Chandra Cham Cham Dasamam Tu  Vinayakam. Ekadasham Ganapathim Dwadasham Tu Gajanan ॥4॥

Ninth name is BaalChandra – one who has a shining forehead like the glowing moon – full moon, the tenth name is Vinayaka who is said to be the God of Wisdom. The eleventh name is Ganapati who is head of Gan (people) and the twelfth name is Gajanan who is having a face and head of an elephant – here ‘Gaj’ means elephant and ‘aanan’ means face.
