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:

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

gAnacaturAya gAnaprANAya gAnAntarAtmane
gAnotsukhAya gAnamattAya gAnOtsuka-manase

{gADhaya rAgAya granthAya gItAya granthArtha tanmayiye} - female chorus
{gurilE... guNavatE... gaNapatayE...}- chorus

  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.

  6. Hi,
    This is indeed a Bhajan from the vedic texts. the link is here

  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.
