Ganesha Ashtakam Lyrics - Asthakam of Vinayaka (Pillayar)

Yatho Anantha Shakthir Anathascha Jeeva,
Yatho Nirgunadha Aprameyaa Gunasthe,
Yatho Bhathi Saravam Tridha Bedha Binnam,
Sada Tham Ganesam Namamo Bhajama 1

We sing about and salute that Lord Ganesh,
From whose limitless power emerged countless beings,
From whose property less form emerged great qualities,
And from whose power the world is divided in to a triad

Yathaschaviraseej Jagath Sarvametha,
Thadhabjasano Viswgo Viswagoptha,
Thandendradhayo Deva Sanga Manushya,
Sada Tham Ganesam Namamo Bhajama 2

We sing about and salute that Lord Ganesha,
From whom this entire universe emerged,
And from whom Lord Brahma who sits on a lotus,
Lord Vishnu who pervades the universe,
Lord Shiva who can hide this universe,
Lord Indra, other Devas and men emerged

Yatho Vahni Bhanu Bhavo Bhoor Jalam Cha,
Yatha Sagaraschandrama Vyoma Vayu,
Yatha Sthavara Jangama Vruksha Sangha,
Sada Tham Ganesham Namamo Bhajama 3

We sing about and salute that Ganesa,
From whom, the Fire, Sun, Shiva earth and water emerged,
From whom ocean, moon and sky emerged,
And from whom stable and movable beings and trees emerged.

Yatho Dhanava, Kinnara Yaksha Sangha,
Yatha Scharana Varana Swapadascha,
Yatha Pakshi Keeta Yatho Veerudasha,
Sadatham Ganesam Namamo Bhajama 4

We sing about and salute that Lord Vinayaka,
From whom, the Asuras, Kinnaras and Yakshas emerged,
From whom Charanas, elephants and canines emerged,
And from whom birds, insects and creepers emerged.

Yatho Budhir Ajnananaso Mumukshor,
Yatha Sampadho Bhaktha Santhoshika Syu,
Yatho Vigna Naso, Yatha Karya Sidhi,
Sada Tham Ganesham Namamo Bhajama 5

We sing about and salute that Lord Pillayar,
From whom wisdom and eternal knowledge
Which drives away ignorance emerged,
From whom wealth which pleases devotees emerged,
And by whom roadblocks are removed and,
Success in every action is attained.

Yatha Puthra Sampadhyatho, Vanchithartho,
Yatho Abhakthi Vignasthadha Anekaroopa,
Yatho Soka Mohaou Yatha Kama Eva,
Sadatham Ganesam Namamo Bhajama 6

We sing about and salute that Lord Ganapati,
By whom child wealth and desires are granted,
By whom several forms of problems,
Are created for those who are not devotees,
And who creates sorrow, desire and passion.

Yatho Anantha Shakthi Sasesho Bhabhoova,
Dharadhararenakaroope Cha Shaktha,
Yatho Anekadha Swargalolka Hi Nana,
Sada Tham Ganesam Namamo Bhajama 7

We sing about and salute that Lord Ganapathi,
From whom Anantha gets his power to lift the earth,
Who can assume several different forms,
And from whom all the heavens were created.

Yatha Veda Vacho Vikunta Manobhi,
Sada Nethinetheeti Yatha Gunanthi,
Para Brahma Roopam Chidananda Bhootham,
Sadatham Ganesam Namamo Bhajama 8

We sing about and salute that Lord Vighneshvara,
About whom even the Vedas do not understand,
And stop with searches with “This is not”, “This is not”,
Who is the real form of that eternal truth,
And who is the real form of that eternal joy

Phala Sruthi

(Results of chanting Ganesha Ashtakam)

Punarooche Ganadheesa Stotramedath Paden Nara,
Trisandhyam Tridinam Thasya Sarva Karyam Bhavishyathi. 9

If the man devoted to Lord Ganesh,
Reads Ganesha Astakam thrice a day for three days,
All his actions will meet with success.

Yo Japeth Ashtadivasam Sloskashtakamidham Shubham,
Ashta Varam Chathurthyanthu So Ashta Sidheravapnuyath. 10

He who reads this holy octet Ganesha Asthakam for eight days,
For eight weeks or chants it eight times,
On the fourth day of the moon’s phase,
Would make the eight occult powers his own.

Sa Paden Masa Mathram Thu, Dasa Varam Dine Dine,
Sa Mochayed Bandhagatham Raja Vadhyam Na Samsaya 11

He who reads Ganesh Ashtak ten times a day for one month,
Would be freed, even if punished with death by the king

Vidhya Kamo Labed Vidhyam, Puthrarthi Puthramapnuyath,
Vanchithaan Labhathe Sarvan, Ekavimsathi Varatha 12

He who repeats it with devotion for twenty one weeks,
Would get knowledge if he desires and would get children if he desires

Yo Japed Paraya Bhakthya Gajanana Paro Nara,
Evamukthwa Thatho Devaschanthrdhanam Gatha Prabhu 13

He who meditates with devotion on Lord Ganesa,
Would get salvation and attain the rich world of the Lord.
