I start my first blog with a small prayer to Lord Ganesha....
Sankat Nashan Ganesh Stotra
Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Narada Uvacha
Pranamya shirasaa devam gauri putram Vinaayakam
Bhaktaa vaasam smare nityam ayuh kaamaarth siddhaye
Prathamam "Vakratundam" cha
"Ekadantam" dvitiyakam
Tritiyam "Krushnapingaaksham"
"Gajavaktram" Chaturthakam
"Lambodaram" Panchamam cha
Shashtam "Vikatamevacha"
Saptamam "Vighnaraajendram"
"Dhoomravarnam" tathaashtamam
Navamam "Bhaalachandram" cha
Dashamam tu "Vinaayakam"
Ekadasham "Ganapathim"
Dwadasham tu "Gajaananam"
Dwadashaitaani namaani trisandhyayam yaha pathennaraha
Nacha vighnam bhayam tasya
Sarva Siddhim karam prabho
Vidyaarthi Labhate Vidya
Dhanaarthi Labhate Dhanam
Putraarthi Labhate Putraan
Mokshaarthi Labhate Gatim
Japet Ganapathi stothram
Shadbhir masai phalam labhet
Samvatsarena Siddhim cha
