I sing to Ganesha, the Mighty, Elephant-Faced One,
Opener of Pathways, Remover of Strife,
Child of the Mountain-Dwelling Parvati,
And Great Shiva, Who Dances the Cosmic Dance of Life.
First Among the Gods, O Lord of Beginnings,
You, Whose Tusks Break Obstacles, Clearing the Way,
Bearer of Wisdom, Sweet-Tongued Poet of Truth,
Who Holds the Mysteries of Night and Day.
Your Trunk Weaves the Threads of the Universe,
Your Eyes Shine with the Light of Endless Lore,
From Your Hand Pours the Nectar of Abundance,
The Blessings that Flow Forevermore.
Come, O Ganesha, Resplendent and Bright,
Guide Us Through Darkness with Your Radiant Light.
May Your Wisdom and Grace on Our Souls Descend,
Illuminator of Paths, O Eternal Friend.
Accept This Hymn, O Lord of the Sacred Syllable,
Om Itself Bows to Your Name Divine.
With Lotus-Heart Devotion, We Sing Your Praise,
Grant Us Your Favor in All Our Days.
