Obstical Remover Ganapati Stotram by Narada

Obstical Remover Ganapati Stotram by Narada

संकटनाशनं श्री गणेशस्तोत्रम्

The Sankata Nasana Ganesh or Ganapati Stotra (from Narada Puran - one of the major eighteen Hindu Purans) contains devotion and worship in the form of a dialogue between Narada and Sanat. It helps wipe out sorrows and impending dangers, clean ones `karma’ and enable good vibration around. Its fruits are visible quickly - if recited with a pure heart, love, compassion and devotion to Ganesh.

॥नारद उवाच॥

प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं गौरीपुत्रं विनायकम् l

भक्तावासं स्मरेन्नित्यामायु: कामार्थ सिध्ध्ये॥

Sage Narada said:

The one who desires for more life, wealth and love truly,

Should bow to Lord Ganesh, Ma Parvati’s son, reverently.

प्रथमं वक्रतुण्डं च एकदन्तं द्वितीयकम् l

तृतीयं कृष्णपिंगाक्षं गजवकत्रं चतुर्थकम्॥

Pray him first as God with a trunk and then with one tusk secondly,

Thirdly with reddish black eyes and with an elephant face fourthly.

लंबोदरं पंचमं च षष्ठं विकटमेव च l

सप्तमं विन्धराजं च धूम्रवर्ण तथाSष्टमम्॥

Fifth as one with a long belly and as the slayer of enemies sixthly,

Seventh remover of obstacles and one with the ash colour eighthly.

नवमम् भालचन्द्रम् दशमं तु विनायकम् l

ऐकादशं गणपति द्वादशं तु गजाननम्॥

Ninth with a crescent moon on forehead and obstacles remover tenthly,

Eleventh as the leader of Shiv's army and elephant faced twelfthly.

द्वादशैतानि नामानि त्रिसंध्यं य: पठेन्नर: l

न च विघ्नभयं तस्य सर्वसिद्धिकरं परम्॥

One who reads these twelve names three times a day will certainly,

Never have fear of mishaps and God will fulfill all his desires totally.

विद्यार्थी लभते विद्यां धनार्थी लभते धनम् l

पुत्रार्थी लभते पुत्रान् मोक्षार्थी लभते गतिम्॥

A learner will get total knowledge and an earner get ample money,

Wanting a child will get fulfilled and desirous of salvation get liberty.

जपेद्द गणपतिस्तोत्रं षड्भिर्मासै: फलम् लभते l

संवत्सरेण सिद्धिं च लभते नात्र संशय॥

Who regularly chants this stotra will get best results quickly,

Within a year all his ambitions will become content undoubtedly.

अष्टानां ब्राह्मणानां च लिखित्वा य: समर्पयेत् l

तस्यविद्या भवेत्सर्वा गणेशस्यप्रसादत॥

Who has this written by Eight Brahmans - offers it to Ganesh keenly,

Will become very scholarly and be blessed by Ganesh definitely.

॥ इतिश्री नारदपुराणे संकटनाशनम् गणपतिस्तोत्रम् सम्पूर्णम्॥

Thus Ganesh stotra, the remover of all obstacles, of Narad Puran is concluded

I salute the Remover of obstacles with modakas in his hands in reality,

Who bestows salvation and wears a crescent moon on his head actually,

Who protects this varied world and leads those who can’t be lead truly,

Who causes asuras destruction and destroys all things not good surely.

I bow before Lord permanently who creates fear in his devotees enemies,

Who sparkles as the dawn Sun and saluted by Gods and Asuras respectedly,

Who is God of all devas and wealth and destroys obstacles of his devotees,

Who is the deity of all the elephants and is the leader of Lord Shiv’s army.

I salute the ancient elephant-god who destroys wants of have nots fully,

Is worshipped since ancient times and is the eldest son of Shiv and Parvati,

Who is awesome at the final deluge and eats away pride of gods’ enemies,

Who ornaments snakes as Dananjay and is fierce as rut elephant majestically.

नितान्तकान्तदन्तकान्ति मन्तकान्तकात्मजम् l अचिन्त्य रुपमन्तहीन मन्तरायकृन्तनम् ll

ह्रदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनाम् l तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम् ll

I meditate on Him with single tusk whose ever lustrous tusk is very pretty,

Whose form is beyond mind's eye, is son of Lord who killed god of death truly,

Who is eternal and endless and who removes all obstacles indisputably,

Who dwells forever in heart of yogis like the blissful spring affectionately.

Wearing a white garment, having moon like complexion certainly,

Having four arms and a pleasant countenance about him surely.”

वामनरूप महेश्वरपुत्र विघ्नविनायक पाद नमस्ते॥

“Ganesh’s vehicle is mouse and in his hand sweet rice ball fondly,

His ears as wide fans, with sacred thread on his shoulders warmly,

He Shiv’s son who is short statured and removes all obstacles fully,

To Vinayaka, in reverence I bow at your feet with all my sincerity.”
