Sankat Nashan Ganesh (Ganapati )Stotram
Sankat Nashan Ganesha Stotram is taken from the Narada Purana and is one of the most effective Stotra of Lord Ganesh. As I said above It eliminates all sorts of problems. Chanting this Stotra daily frees a person from all kinds of impediments and destroy all sorrows.
Here is the Sankata NasHana Ganesh (Ganapati) Stotram along with English Meaning of each stanza.
Narada Uvacha:
Sage Narada told
Pranamya Sirasa Devam,
Gauri Putram, Vinayakam,
Bhakthya Vyasa Smaren Nithya,
Mayu Kama Artha Sidhaye.
The learned one, who wishes,
For more life, wealth and love,
Should salute with his head,
Lord Ganapathi who is the son of Goddess Parvathi
Prathamam Vakra Thundam Cha,
Ekadantham Dveethiyakam,
Trithiyam Krishna Pingalaksham,
Gajavakthram Chathurthakam.
Think him first as god with broken tusk,
Second as the Lord with one tusk,
Third as the one with reddish black eyes,
Fourth as the one who has the face of an elephant
Lambhodaram Panchamam Cha,
Sashtam Vikatameva Cha,
Sapthamam Vignarajam Cha,

Fifth as the one who has a very broad paunch,
Sixth as the one who is cruel to his enemies,
Seventh as the one who is remover of obstacles,

Tenth as the one, who is the leader of remover of obstacles,
Eleventh as the leader of the army of Lord Shiva,
And twelfth as the one who has the face of an elephant.
Dwathasaithani Namani,
Trisandhyam Ya Paden Nara,
Na Cha Vigna Bhayam Thasya,
Sarva Sidhi Karam Dhruvam.
Any one reading these twelve names,
At dawn, noon and dusk,
Will never have fear of defeat,
And would always achieve whatever he wants.
Vidyarthi Labhadhe Vidhyam,
Danarthi Labhathe Danam,
Puthrarthi Labhathe Puthran,
Moksharthi Labhathe Gatheem.
One who pursues education will get knowledge,
One who wants to earn money will get money,
One who wishes for a son, will get a son,
And one who wants salvation will get salvation.
Japeth Ganapathi Sthothram,
Shadbhir Masai Phalam Labeth,
Samvatsarena Sidhim Cha,
Labhathe Nathra Samsaya.
Results of chanting this prayer,
Of Ganapati will be got within six months,
And within a year, he would get all wishes fulfilled,
And there is no doubt about this.
Ashtanam Brahmanam Cha,
Likihithwa Ya Samarpoayeth,
Thasya Vidhya Bhaveth
Sarvaa Ganesasya Prasadatha.
One who gives this prayer,
In writing to Eight wise people,
And offers it to Lord Ganesha,
Will become knowledgeable,
And would be blessed with all stellar qualities,
By the grace of Lord Ganesh.
Ithi Sri Narada Purane Samkashta Nasanam Ganesh Stotram Sampoornam
Thus ends the prayer from Narada Purana to Ganesh which would destroy all sorrows.
Importance of Sankat Nashan Ganesha Stotram
Based on my own experience let me reiterate the importance of this Stotra cannot be overemphasized. In this stotra, Narada explains the magnificence of Lord Ganesh. Narada says that every person should bow his head and worship Lord Ganesh to ask for longevity and elimination of all problems.
Lord Ganesha’s different names should be called out including Vakratund, Ekdant, Krishna Pingaksh, Gajvakra, Lambodar, Chata Vikat, Vighna Rajendra, Dhumravarna, Bhalchandra, Vinayak, Ganpati etc. These twelve names should be worshipped in all three time periods of the day. This frees a person from any sort of fear.
Lord Ganesha’s worship fulfills all desires. A person looking for money becomes rich, a person looking for knowledge acquires it and a person looking for salvation attains it. It is believed that this stotra provides results within six months. In one year, a person receives auspicious results.
HAPPY GANESH (VINAYAKA) CHATURTHI TO YOU AND YOURS!!!
