॥ संकटनाशन गणेश स्तोत्र ॥Sankatnaashan Ganesh Stotram Lyrics
संकटनाशनं गणेशं, वन्देऽहं सुरपुजितम्।संकटमोचनं देवं, विघ्नराजं नमाम्यहम्॥
प्रथमं वक्रतुण्डं च, एकदन्तं द्वितीयकम्।तृतीयं कृष्णपिङ्गाक्षं, गजवक्त्रं चतुर्थकम्॥
लम्बोदरं पंचमं च, षष्ठं विकटमेव च।सप्तमं विघ्नराजं च, धूम्रवर्णं तथाष्टमम्॥
नवमं भालचन्द्रं च, दशमं तु विनायकम्।एकादशं गणपतिं, द्वादशं तु गजाननम्॥
द्वादशैतानि नामानि, त्रिसंध्यं यः पठेन्नरः।न च विघ्नभयं तस्य, सर्वसिद्धिकरं परम्॥
विद्यार्थी लभते विद्यां, धनार्थी लभते धनम्।पुत्रार्थी लभते पुत्रान्, मोक्षार्थी लभते गतिम्॥
जपेद्गणपतिस्तोत्रं, षड्भिर्मासैः फलं लभेत्।संवत्सरेण सिद्धिं च, लभते नात्र संशयः॥
About this stotram — Ganesha, Rama
A Stotram is a Sanskrit hymn of praise composed by great sages and poet-saints such as Adi Shankaracharya. Stotrams describe the deity’s form, qualities and deeds in richly poetic language, and chanting them is said to purify the intellect and awaken devotion. Many stotrams carry a phala-shruti — a closing verse describing the benefits of recitation.
How to chant
Stotrams reward slow, attentive chanting. Read the meaning once before you begin so the verses resonate as you recite. Early morning (Brahma Muhurat) is ideal, but any quiet time works. If Sanskrit feels difficult, chant along with the transliteration and let the rhythm settle naturally over a few days of practice.
