SRI GANESHA PANCHARATNA STOTRAM     
HAPPY GANESH CHATURTHI
मुदा करात्त मोदकं सदा विमुक्ति साधकम् ।
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोक रक्षकम् ।
अनायकैक नायकं विनाशितेभ दैत्यकम् ।
नताशुभाशु नाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम् ॥ 1 ॥

I salute that remover of obstacles,
Who has modakas in his hand
Who always bestows salvation
Who wears a part of moon on his head
Who protects this world which is varied,
Who is the leader of those who cannot be lead,
Who is the cause of destruction of asuras,
And who destroys all things which are not good.


नतेतराति भीकरं नवोदितार्क भास्वरम् ।
नमत्सुरारि निर्जरं नताधिकापदुद्ढरम् ।
सुरेश्वरं निधीश्वरं गजेश्वरं गणेश्वरम् ।
महेश्वरं तमाश्रये परात्परं निरन्तरम् ॥ 2 ॥

I bow before that great Lord permanently,
Who creates fear in the enemies of his devotees,
Who sparkles like the just risen Sun,
Who is saluted by Gods and Asuras
Who destroys obstacles of his devotees,
Who is the God of all devas,
Who is the God of all wealth,
Who is the God of all elephants,
And who is the leader of the army of Lord Shiva.


समस्त लोक शङ्करं निरस्त दैत्य कुञ्जरम् ।
दरेतरोदरं वरं वरेभ वक्त्रमक्षरम् ।
कृपाकरं क्षमाकरं मुदाकरं यशस्करम् ।
मनस्करं नमस्कृतां नमस्करोमि भास्वरम् ॥ 3 ॥

I bow to that Ganapati who shines like the Sun,
Who bestows peace to all the worlds,
Who removed the Gajamukhasura from this world,
Who has a very big paunch,
Who has an elephant-face which blesses,
And who is the one who shows kindness
Who is tolerant
Who is full of blessing,
And who showers great fame,
To those who salute Him.


अकिञ्चनार्ति मार्जनं चिरन्तनोक्ति भाजनम् ।
पुरारि पूर्व नन्दनं सुरारि गर्व चर्वणम् ।
प्रपञ्च नाश भीषणं धनञ्जयादि भूषणम् ।
कपोल दानवारणं भजे पुराण वारणम् ॥ 4 ॥

I salute the very ancient elephant-god
Who destroys the wants of the have nots,
Who has been worshipped since ancient times,
Who is the eldest son of the lord who destroyed cities,
Who eats away the pride of the enemies of the gods,
Who is awesome at the time of final deluge,
Who wears serpents like Dananjaya as ornaments,
And who is fierce like the elephant in rut.

नितान्त कान्ति दन्त कान्ति मन्त कान्ति कात्मजम् ।
अचिन्त्य रूपमन्त हीन मन्तराय कृन्तनम् ।
हृदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनाम् ।
तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम् ॥ 5 ॥

I always meditate only on that God with single tusk,,
Who is ever lustrous tusk is very pretty,
Who is the son of Lord who killed the god of death,
Who has a form beyond ones imagination,
Who is endless,
Who tears asunder all obstacles,
And who dwells forever in the heart of Yogis ,
Like the season of spring.

Phalastuthi:

महागणेश पञ्चरत्नमादरेण योஉन्वहम् ।
प्रजल्पति प्रभातके हृदि स्मरन् गणेश्वरम् ।
अरोगतामदोषतां सुसाहितीं सुपुत्रताम् ।
समाहितायु रष्टभूति मभ्युपैति सोஉचिरात् ॥

He, who remembers with respect every morning,
These five gems of the great Lord Ganapati,
And who meditates in his heart the leader of ganas,
Will soon be blessed with a healthy life,
Free of all problems, endowed with great peace
Great sons, longevity and spiritual and physical wealth.
