shrI gaNeshAya dhImahi

shrI gaNeshAya dhImahi (mp3)



This is my own rendering of the excellent devotional song dedicated to Lord Ganesha, from the movie Viruddh, originally sung by Shankar Mahadevan.

Lyrics here:

gaNanAyakAya gaNadaivatAya gaNAdhyakshAya dhImahi
guNa sharIrAya guNa maNDitAya guNeshAnAya dhImahi
guNAtItAya guNadhIshAya guNa pravishThAya dhImahi

ekadantAya vakratunDAya gaurI tanayAya dhImahi
gajeshAnAya bAlachandrAya shrI gaNeshAya dhImahi

{ekadantAya vakratunDAya gaurI tanayAya dhImahi
gajeshAnAya bAlachandrAya shrI gaNeshAya dhImahi} - chorus

gAnacaturAya gAnaprANAya gAnAntarAtmane
gAnotsukhAya gAnamattAya gAnOtsuka-manase
guru-pUjitAya guru-daivatAya guru-kulastAyine

{sarva-rAjAya gandhAya sarva-gAna-shravaNa praNayime} - male chorus
{gADhaya rAgAya granthAya gItAya granthArtha tanmayiye} - female chorus
{gurilE... guNavatE... gaNapatayE...}- chorus

grantha-gItAya grantha-geyAya granthAntar-Atamane

  2. Piscean,

    The link at the top of this post will let you hear me singing the song. Of course, you can always go to the 'Viruddh' link also at the top of the page, to listen to the MUCH BETTER original version of the song.

  5. Sorry, cs. I don't know who has written this song. I am pretty sure that it is not from the Vedas.

    If you ever manage to find out who wrote this song, please do leave a comment here and let us know.

  7. Scorpio_Geets,

    That link you have posted is just a collection of bhajans. It does not give any reference to any particular Vedic text or book by name, as the origin of this song. As such, I am still not convinced that this song is from the Vedas.
