Ganpati festival began on September 3rd. This is my 2nd favorite festival, first being Janmashtami. I have moved out of Bombay 25 years ago but Bombay has not moved out of my heart. I dearly miss all the festivals - I wish I can share that experience with my son, some day.
For the next ten days, I will be preparing something sweet for my rolu-polu Ganpati, shower him with extra love and get his blessings. I have tried to write down all of my favorite artis and readings for him. Hope you all find it useful.

Sukhkarta dukhharta varta vighnachi
Nurvi purvi prem krupa jayachi
Sarvangi sundar uti shendurachi
Kanthi zalke mal mukta- phalachi
Jay dev jai dev jay mangal murti
Darshanmatre mankamana purti
Ratnakhachit fara tuj gaurikumra
Chandanachi uti kumkumkeshara
Hirejadit mugut Shobhato bara
Runzunati nupure charni ghagaria
Lambodar Pitambar phadivarbandhana
Saral sond vakratunda trinayana
Das ramacha vat pahe sadana
Sankti pavave Nirvani Rakshave survarvandana

Shendur lal chadhayo achchha gajmukhko
Dondil lal biraje sut gauriharko
Hath liye gudladdu sai survarko
Mahima kahe na jay lagat hoo padko
Jai jai shri ganraj vidhyasukhdata
Dhanya tumara darshan mera man ramata
Ashto siddhi dasi sankatko bairi
vignavinashan mangal murat adhikari
Koti surajprakash aisi chhabi teri
Gandasthala madmastak jhoole Shashihari
Bhavbhagat se koi sharanagat ave
santat sabhi bharpur pave
Aise tumMaharaj moko ati bhave
Gosavinandan nishidin gun gave

Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.
Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari
Mathe par tilak sohe, muse ki savari
Pan chadhe, phul chadhe, aur chadhe meva
Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant kare seva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva…
Andhan ko ankh det, kodhin ko kaya
Banjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya
Surya shaam sharan aye, safal kije seva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva… . ***********************************************************************
