Gananatha Stotram
Lyrics:
प्रातः स्मरामि गणनाथमुखारविन्दं
नेत्रत्रयं मदसुगन्धितगण्डयुग्मम्।
शुण्डञ्च रत्नघटमण्डितमेकदन्तं
ध्यानेन चिन्तितफलं वितरन्नमीक्ष्णम्।
प्रातः स्मरामि गणनाथभुजानशेषा-
नब्जादिभिर्विलसितान् लसिताङ्गदैश्च।
उद्दण्डविघ्नपरिखण्डन- चण्डदण्डान्
वाञ्छाधिकं प्रतिदिनं वरदानदक्षान्।
प्रातः स्मरामि गणनाथविशालदेहं
सिन्दूरपुञ्जपरिरञ्जित- कान्तिकान्तम्।
मुक्ताफलैर्मणि- गणैर्लसितं समन्तात्
श्लिष्टं मुदा दयितया किल सिद्धलक्ष्म्या।
प्रातः स्तुवे गणपतिं गणराजराजं
मोदप्रमोदसुमुखादि- गणैश्च जुष्टम्।
शक्त्यष्टभिर्विलसितं नतलोकपालं
भक्तार्तिभञ्जनपरं वरदं वरेण्यम्।
प्रातः स्मरामि गणनायकनामरूपं
लम्बोदरं परमसुन्दरमेकदन्तम्।
सिद्धिप्रदं गजमुखं सुमुखं शरण्यं
श्रेयस्करं भुवनमङ्गलमादिदेवम्।
यः श्लोकपञ्चकमिदं पठति प्रभाते
भक्त्या गृहीतचरणो गणनायकस्य।
तस्मै ददाति मुदितो वरदानदक्ष-
श्चिन्तामणिर्निखिल- चिन्तितमर्थकामम्।

Meaning:
Verse 1
At dawn I remember the lotus-like face of Ganapati,
the three eyes shining, the cheeks fragrant with the sweet scent of divine intoxication.
His trunk is graceful, his single tusk is adorned like a jewel pot,
and by merely meditating on him he grants the desired fruits again and again.
Verse 2
In the morning I remember the many arms of Ganapati,
glowing with lotuses and other sacred emblems, decorated with radiant armlets.
Those arms hold the fierce staff that destroys proud obstacles,
and every day they are ready to grant boons greater than what the heart even asks.
Verse 3
At dawn I remember the vast and majestic body of Ganapati,
his beauty glowing like a mountain of vermilion.
He shines everywhere with pearls and clusters of gems,
and sits joyfully embraced by his beloved, the divine Siddhi Lakshmi.
Verse 4
In the morning I praise Ganapati, the king of the kings of the ganas,
surrounded by attendants like Moda, Pramoda and Sumukha.
He is radiant with the eight shaktis, worshipped by the guardians of the worlds,
ever devoted to removing the pain of devotees, the supreme giver of boons.
Verse 5
At dawn I remember the name and form of the leader of the ganas,
Lambodara, supremely beautiful, the single-tusked one.
He grants success, has the face of an elephant, gentle and compassionate,
the refuge of all, the cause of welfare, the auspicious first deity of the universe.
Verse 6 (Phala shruti)
Whoever recites these five verses at early morning
with devotion, holding firmly to the feet of Ganapati,
to that person the joyful lord, skilled in granting boons,
becomes the wish-fulfilling Chintamani and gives all desired wealth and fulfilment.
