Blessing of the Divine Son

(aaah) From the

sacred sandalwood paste

Parvati shapes a beautiful child

Pure love in his eyes,

gentle and mild

Standing guard at the temple gates

Then the great Lord Shiva arrives

To see the radiant boy standing tall (O

Shiva)

He is my beloved son

First worshipped of all the gods

Shiva places his hand upon his head (O Ganesha) Blessing him with

eternal light

Wisdom and prosperity flow

Obstacles vanish where you walk A father's pride,

a mother's joy

Shining bright like the morning sun

He will remove

all obstacles

My son

Ganesha

(Jaya Ganesha,

Jaya Ganesha)
