Vallabhesa Karavalamba Dasakam


Vallabhesa Karavalamba Dasakam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

"Vallabha Ganapathi is that form of Ganapathi Vallabha Ganapathi is a rare form of Ganapathi who has eleven arms and is believed to be the protector of the universe. There are a few temples  dedicated to this form of Ganapathi ( for example Mambalam, Madras) and one of them is in Suva, Fiji Islands and another in New york . I know of only three Karavalamvha stotras , one dedicated to Lord Subramanya , one to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha and the other dedicated to Lord Venkatesa.
.The stotram was taught by late Smt. Sarada, the daughter of Jailor & Astrologer Ganapathy Iyer, Irinjalakuda to her son Ganesan. The first letters of the slokas of this stotram combine to form "Om  Sri Gam Ganapathaye Nama and after long search I have confirmed that it is neither available in the web nor in any of the books of published Ganesa  stotras . I have translated the stotra after correcting the minor mistakes which had crept in over years . I am dedicating this stotra  to the memory of Smt Sarada , the great devotee of Vallabha Ganapathi."
Dhyanam
Bheeja pooragadekshukarmukarujaa chakrabja pasthpala,
Vrehygraswavishana rathna kalasa prodhyuth karamboruha,
Dhyoyo vallabhaya cha padmakarayaslishto jwalath bhooshaya,
Viswothpathi vinasa samsthithikaro vigno visishtarthadha.

It is necessary to meditate on that God who prevents bottlenecks,
Who holds in his eleven hands things like lemon, mace ,
Bow, sugarcane, spear ,holy wheel, lotus flower, rope,
The black bel flower, the paddy bunch, his own tusk and pot of gems,
Who is being embraced by his wife who is well ornamented,
And having in her hand a  lotus flower,
Who does the creation, upkeep and destruction of the universe,
And who blesses all with the special wealth.
