Translation

    • Notes in (brackets) add meaning to this invocation**



Sthai

Sing the Universal Ganapati (another name for Lord Ganesh) prayer.
He has Shankar’s good body (Ganesh is Shankar’s Legacy) and he is Parvati’s son. (Lord Ganesh’s parents were Lord Shankar and Parvati).

Antara 1

He is always an achiever, a leader in an elephant’s body.
His blessings are beautiful. He is all capable.

Antara 2

He likes laddoo (a dessert that is extremely sweet, round and bright yellow), he gives happiness.
He imparts knowledge, he gives senses.

Antara 3

Tulsidas asks him with a gentle Namaskar (Nam = Bow; askar = hands)
To always let Ram-Sita (Ram is another God in Hindu Mythology, Sita was his wife) settle (make a home of) in his mind.
