about

GANESH
A song about the mighty deity, patron of the arts, revered as the lord of beginnings who clears obstacles and brings good fortune.

lyrics

GANESH

There he sits and there he stands
Bright son of Parvati
Elephant head, sweet-filled hands
Blessings and harmony

Full ears, tiny eyes
Wise son of Parvati
Grand creature, never dies
Ganesh will always be

Like a million suns
Of a brilliant flame
He’ll remove all obstacles
And clear the way again.

A boy was born of sandal paste
Kind son of Parvati
Long trunk and an ample waist
Protection, joy and empathy

There he sits and there he stands
The son of Parvati
Elephant head, sweet-filled hands
Blessings, joy and harmony

We invoke his grace again
Lucky son of Parvati
Let the festival begin
All good things will come to be
