Vakratunda: Meaning and Use

8 minutes

Many beginners feel connected to short, memorable invocations. The key is not collecting many verses at once. The key is learning one with feeling and regularity.

Use meaning as support: asking for removal of difficulty also means becoming more patient, sincere, and disciplined in how you respond to life.

Sacred Mantra

This familiar Ganesha invocation works well as a short devotional opening before a longer chant or prayer period.

Vakratunda Mahakaya (Ganesh Shloka)

O Lord with curved trunk, large body, and brilliance of a million suns, please make all my works free of obstacles, always.
