Ganesha Chalisa

Glory, glory, all glory to You Ganesha;
To You, the whole world pays homage,
You are the deliverer from opposites!
Glory to You, you destroyer of all obstacles!
Glory to You, you bestower of happiness!
O Ganesha, resplendent is your single white tusk!
And the crescent shaped triple mark on Your forehead, as beautiful as the Moon!
On Your bosom is a garland of jewels,
in Your eyes the beauty
Of the full-blown lotus and on
Your head a crowd of gems.
O Ganesha, You deliver Your devotees from anxiety!
Blessed are You, O Ganesha, Your wooden sandals -
All studded with gems on Your feet -
Are the source of all blessings in the world.
