Invoking Ganesha

Om ganānām tvā

ganapatim gum havāmahe

kavim kavīnām

upa maśra vastamam ।

Jyestha rājam brahmanām

brahmanas pata ā nah a

śrnvannūtibhih sīda sādanam ॥

Vakratunda mahākaya

sūrya koti sama prabha ।

Nirvighnam kuru me deva

sarva karye su sarvadā ॥

Siddhi buddhi śakti sahita

śriman maha ganādi pataye

namo namah ।

nirvighnam kuru ॥




* This is the english transliteration of the prayer to Ganesha as sung in the audio. I've done my best to break it up into manageable syllables for english readers.

The "-" above some of the vowels indicate a long vowel sound and the symbol over some of the 's' is to indicate it is pronounced more like 'sh'.



Translation:

Om. We offer salutations to you, wise ruler of all Gods, you who are the most renowned of all the wise ones, the preeminent sovereign of the sacred texts.

Oh, ruler of Brahman, hear us, take a seat amongst the riches of the (our) hearts.

With curved tusk, big body, and effulgence equal to a throusand suns, make me free of all obstructions, O Deva, in all my duties and at all times.

Salutations to the great and blessed ruler of the host of gods, possessed of skill, intelligence and power. Make me free of all obstructions.
