Vatapi Ganapatim Bhajeham

Rāgam: Haṃsadhvani
(Sa, Ri₂, Ga₃, Pa, Ni₃, Sa)

vātāpi gaṇapatiṃ bhajē’haṃ
vāraṇāśyaṃ varapradaṃ śrī ॥

I worship Lord Vatapi Ganapati, the elephant-faced Lord who grants blessings and divine boons.

bhūtādi saṃsēvita charaṇaṃ
bhūta bhautika prapañcha bharaṇam ।

His sacred feet are worshipped by celestial beings and all living entities. He sustains and supports both the spiritual elements and the entire material universe.

vītarāgiṇaṃ vinuta yōginaṃ
viśvakāraṇaṃ vighnavāraṇam ।

He is beyond worldly attachments, praised by great yogis, the cause of the universe, and the remover of all obstacles.

purā kumbha sambhava munivara
prapūjitaṃ trikōṇa madhyagataṃ
murāri pramukhādyupāsitaṃ
mūlādhāra kṣētrasthitam ।

He was worshipped in ancient times by the great sage Agastya (born from a sacred vessel). He resides in the center of the mystical triangle, is worshipped by Lord Vishnu (Murari) and other divine beings, and is established in the Muladhara chakra.

parādi chatvāri vāgātmakaṃ
praṇava svarūpa vakratuṇḍaṃ
nirantaraṃ nikhila chandrakhaṇḍaṃ
nijavāmakara vidrutēkṣukhaṇḍam ।

He represents the four forms of speech beginning with Para. He is the embodiment of the sacred sound Om, with a curved trunk. He is eternally connected with the cosmic principles and holds a piece of sugarcane in His left hand.

karāmbuja pāśa bījāpūraṃ
kaluṣavidūraṃ bhūtākāraṃ
harādi guruguha tōṣita bimbaṃ
haṃsadhvani bhūṣita hērambam ।

He holds a noose and the sacred citron fruit in His lotus-like hands. He removes impurities and sins, embodies the essence of all beings, and is worshipped with devotion by Lord Shiva and Guru Guha. I adore that divine Heramba Ganapati adorned by the beautiful melody of the Haṃsadhvani raga.
