Jai Ganesa, Jai Ganesa deva

Jai Ganesa, Jai Ganesa deva

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(This is a soulful prayer on Ganesa in Hindi, in the normal lines of Aarathi. But since Ganesa is not a very popular God in places north of Maharashtra, it appears as if it is written there or in the northern Karnataka where Hindi and Ganesa are popular)

Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha Devaa
Matha Jaaki, Parvati Pita Mahadeva,
Ladduvan Ka Bhog lage ,Sant Karen Seva
Ek Dant Dayavant Chaar Bhujaa Dhaari, Jai Ganesh 1

Victory to Ganesha , Victory to Ganesha, Victory to God Ganesa
Whose mother is Parvathi and whose father is Lord Shiva,
The saints do your worship by offering you Laddus,
Oh merciful God with one tusk and four hands,

Maathe Sindoor Shoye Muse Ki Savaaree,
Haar Chadhe Phool Chadhe Aur Chadhe Mevaa,
Andhen Ko Aankh Det Khodeen Ko Khaaya,
Baanjhan Ko Putra Det Nirdhan Ko Maaya, Jai Ganesh 2

Who has put a sindhoor and rides on a mouse,
I offer him garlands, I offer him flowers, and I offer him milk sweets
Who gives eye to the blind and health to the lepers,
Who gives child to the barren , and wealth to the poor.



Deenan Kee Laaj Raakh Shambhu Sutwaaree
Kamna ko pure karo Jag Bal hari
Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha Devaa 3

The Son of Shambu , please take care of this poor man,
Fulfill his wants , Oh God who does good to the world.
Victory to Ganesha , Victory to Ganesha, Victory to God Ganesa


Tan Man sab tera, sab kuchh hai tera,
Tera tujhko arpan, kyaa laagey mera. Om Jay......
Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha, Jal Ganesha Devaa 4

My body and mind are yours and all that is known is yours,
I completely give myself to you, and there is nothing that is mine
Victory to Ganesha , Victory to Ganesha, Victory to God Ganesa
