Lyrics – O Gajanana (Full Bhajan)
वक्रतुंड महाकाय
सूर्य कोटि समप्रभ
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव
सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा
ओ गजानना… ओ गजानना
कष्टों को मेरे हर लेना
ओ गजानना… ओ गजानना
विघ्नों को सारे हर लेना
वंदन निस दिन करता तुमको
कृपा बनाए रखना
ओ गजानना… ओ गजानना
नवकार की ओर चला मैं
सबसे पहले ध्याऊं तुझे
तुम मंगल करता दुख हर्ता हो
नैया को पार लगा देना
विनायका तुम साथ में रहना
रोग दोष सब हर लेना
ओ गजानना… ओ गजानना
कष्टों को मेरे हर लेना
गुड़ के मोदक भोग लगाऊं
गणपति तेरा ध्यान करूं
हे एकदंत गजबदन विनायक
मूषक संग पधारो ना
मेरे काज सवारो
कृपा करो तुम मेरे
बाप्पा मोरया…
ओ गजानना
ओ गजानना…
कष्टों को मेरे हर लेना
ओ गजानना…
विघ्नों को सारे हर लेना
वंदन निस दिन करता तुमको
कृपा बनाए रखना
ओ गजानना…
Why This Bhajan Feels Special
