The Ganesha aarti is a popular Hindu devotional song
dedicated to the elephant deity, Ganpati. Ganesh aarti is sung in praise
of Shree Ganesh and is recited very reverently in all Hindu households.
Lord Ganesha is also called Vighneshwara because he is believed to be
the remover of impediments. He is, therefore, paid obeisance to by all
Hindus when initiating any new task. To understand the meaning of Shree
Ganesha aarti, read on.
Greetings to you O great Lord Ganesha, son of Parvati and Mahadeva Shiv
Shankar. O great lord, you are the one-tusked, four-armed deity, whose
forehead is marked by vermilion and rides a mouse. You are the one who
gives vision to the blind and form to the paralytic, son to the
childless, fortune to the poor, greetings to you O Ganesha. Glory to
you, O Ganesha. We devotees offer you betel leaves, flowers, dry fruits
and sweets which you delightedly accept as offerings. All the sages
attend to you O glorious lord. Glory to you O lord Ganesha.
Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh deva
Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva
Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari
Mathe sindur sohai, muse ki savari,
Jai Ganesh...
Andhan ko ankh det, kodhin ko kaya
Banjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya,
Jai Ganesh....
Pan chadhe, phul chadhe, aur chadhe meva
Ladduan ka bhog lage, saht kare seva,
Jai Ganesh....
Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva.
