Sri Ganesha Ashtakam | श्री गणेश अष्टाकम

Lord Ganesh is the most popular Hindu God who is worshipped at fist and is believed to be the remover of all obstacles in the lives of his devotees. His grace is sought while making any auspicious beginning of any endeavor. He is called Vigneshwara, the Lord and destroyer of obstacles.

He has four hands, elephant’s head and a big belly. His vehicle is a tiny mouse. In his hands, he carries a rope (to carry devotees to the truth) an axe (to cut devotees attachments) and a sweet ball (to reward devotees for spiritual activity). His fourth hand’s palm is always extended to bless people.
