Have you heard the song Mahaganapathim Manasasmarami? This beautiful Carnatic song has been sung by artist: Sriram Gangadharan and others. This is a very famous devotional song a vandana for Lord Ganesh - the favorite deity of Hindus. In fact this song was also sung in the movie Morning Raga featuring Shabana Azmi. The ragam is Natai and Thalam is Chathursa Ekam. Truly one should listen to this song. I was simply mesmerized and lost in a different world. In fact I kept hearing this song again and again...The lyrics of the song says:
mahaa gaNapatim manasaa smaraami
mahaa gaNapatim vasishTa vaama dEvAdi vandita
mahaa dEva sutam guruguha nutam
maara kOTi prakaasham shaantam
mahaa kaavya naaTakaadi priyam mooshika vaahanaa mOdhaka priyam
It means:
I meditate on the supreme Ganapati who is worshipped by sages like Vasishtha, Vaamadeva and others. He, the son of Lord Mahaadeva, is adored by Guruguha and shines with the brilliance of crores of Cupids. He is the tranquil one and exults in the literary pieces like poems and dramas. He is fond of Modaka, a variety of sweet, and has a mouse for a mount.
