{॥ दोषतोाटक ॥}
ी गणेशाय नमः ।
सयं वीिम परलोकिहतं ीिम
सारं वीयुपिनषृदयं वीिम ।
संसारमुबणमसारमवाय जतोः
सारोऽयमीवरपदाबुहय सेवा ॥ १॥
ये नाचयित िगिरशं समये दोषे
ये नाचतं िशवमिप णमित चाये ।
एतकथां ुितपुटैन िपबित मूढाते
जमजमसु भवित नरा दिराः ॥ २॥
ये वै दोषसमये परमेवरय,

देवाः दोषसमये नु भजित सव ॥ ४॥
वादेवी धृतवलकी शतमखो वेणुं दधपज-

Devotional recitation is one of the simplest and most powerful practices in the Hindu tradition. Regular chanting calms the mind, purifies the atmosphere of the home, and deepens one’s connection with the deity. These sacred compositions have been sung by devotees for generations and are suitable for daily practice, during morning or evening puja, or on special festival days.
How to chant
Sit comfortably facing your home altar or a clean, quiet space. Light a lamp or incense if you wish. Begin with a short prayer to Ganesha, then recite the text slowly and clearly, focusing on the meaning rather than speed. Consistency matters more than duration — even five minutes of daily chanting brings visible peace of mind.
