Srikantho Mathulo Yasya Jananee Sarva Mangalaa |

Janakaha Shankaro Devaha Tam Vande' Kunjaraananam ||

He for whom Lord Vishnu is the Uncle,

Whose mother is the Universal auspicious one, Parvathi,

Whose father is Lord Mahaa Deva, to Him the Omkaara Faced One,

Sri Ganesha, I am doing the salutations.

Vakrathunda Mahaakaaya Sooryakoti Samprabha |

Avignam Kuru Me' Deva, Sarva Kaaryesu Sarvadhaa ||

You, of the twisted trunk and the massive body,

With the dazzle and light of millions of suns;

Lead me on a path that has no obstacles nor hindrances

Clearing the way in all that I do, ever, and always!

Sri Prasanna Vinayagar of Pearland, Texas USA [Sri Ganesha]

Prasanna Vinaayakam Dhe'vam; Pe'rivana Pura Samsthitham |

Sarva Vigna Haram Nithyam; Vandhe' Sri Kunjaraananam. ||

O, Lord Sri Prasanna Vinayagam, who lives in His Temple in Pearland;

The one who will remove all obstacles for all His Devotees at all times;

One who has the Omkara face of the elephant, I pray to Him.
