Sing with Sitar Series|Sathya Sai Ganesha Bhajan|Pahi Gajanana|Sanskrit Song


Lyrics:

Shuklam bharadaram Slokam:

Shuklambaradharam Vishnum Sashivarnam Chaturbhujam
Prasanna Vadanam Dhyayet Sarva Vignopa Shanthaye
Agaja Anana Padmarkam Gajanana Maharnisham
Anekadantam Bhaktanam Ekadantam Upasmahe

Pahi Gajanana Deenavana
Sindura Vadana Srithajana Palana
Ambika Tanaya Amaradheeshwara
Aganita Guna Gana Ananda Dayaka

Meaning:

All the obstacles and troubles get anhilated when one contemplates on all pervading Lord Vishnu who is cladded in white, with a pleasant and glowing face like the moon and has four arms.

Just as the divine effulgence emerging from the lotus like face of the daughter of Mountains (Mother Parvati) is always fixed on the elephant faced Lord Ganesha,
May the constant grace of Ekadanta (single tusked), who grants boon for various prayers of His devotees be on those who worship Him.


Lyrics of Bhajan

Paahi Gajanana Deenavana
Sindhura Vadana Shritha Jana Palana [ Paahi Gajanana ... ]
Ambika Tanaya Amaradheeshwara
Aganita Guna Gana Ananda Dayaka


Meaning

We pray to Lord Ganesha to protect us - the unprotected. O Lord, with Your shining face You bestow welfare on those who surrender and the downtrodden. O the beloved child of Ambika, You are praised by the celestial beings and there is no one parallel to You in granting bliss.
