Gajananam Bhoota Ganadi Sevitam,Kapittha Jambu Phalasara Bhakshitam |Umasutam Shoka Vinasha KaranamNamami Vighneswara Pada Pankajam ||
The above hymn is in praise of Vinayaka. The translation goes like this...
Elephant Faced, Served by the elements and members of the netherworld, One who eats guavas, berries, and all fruits, Son of Uma, Destroyer of Sadness and Obstacles, I bow to you Vigneswara [Another name for Vinayaka], at your lotus feet.
Happy Vinayaka Chavithi. Its my favourite God's birthday today... Mercury ruled, uber cool, highly intelligent and witty. I do so wish I was back in Hyderabad amongst the festivities. But meanwhile, I show my love by creating a Vinayaka theme for my blog.  Dont miss out viewing the cute mouse in the footer, and the lotus leaf in the header.Â
Why did I move to my new blog address today? Ganesha rules wisdom and prudence. Two qualities that I admire. Also he is the celestial scribe who can write very fast. [Strong Mercury, Its the virgo month after all...] And I am a blogger after all....Â
...Ganesha is one of the most popular deities in the Hindu
