Namaḥ Śrī-Gaṇapataye

Courtesy collection of Candraśekarānanda

One must bow to power
Or power cannot be yours
Therefore I bow to Ganapati
All-powerful Lord of the Secret Assembly
The record-keeper of powerful data
The book-keeper of all samsaric and nirvanic odds
The keeper of secrets of the swift path
The guardian of Mahadeva's wealth
The loyal son of the Queens of Possibility
NAMO I bow to the Elephant-Trunked
And praise your all-pervasive activity
Let fall a shower of blessings on this very place
Cause abundance of wealth and
Excellent Dharma to flourish in practice
Protect friends, wealth, consorts and lineage
Trample dangerous enemies and obstacles
Bring a festive atmosphere to those deprived
Eradicate all gross and subtle obstructions
Illuminate the dark chasm of the world
Let the land resound with your clarion call
This is a time of great interdependence
Let there always be SAMAYA!
