Lord Ganesh



Praise be to elephant-faced Ganesha,
the Incomprehensible One with a sharp tusk,
three eyes and capacious belly,
King of all beings,
the Eternal One of blood-red hue,
Whose forehead is illuminated by the new moon,
Son of Siva-Shakti,

Remover of all difficulties.

Ganesha sharanam, sharanam Ganesha.

  2. Internet. It's a traditional prayer to Lord Ganesh. There are lots of different prayers,but I thought this one appropriate for starting this epic unit! I'm so glad he's the god for overcoming obstacles.
