This is a God Ganesh Stotra and it is in Sanskrit. This is to be recited early in the morning. This Stotra is very pious. By reciting this stotra devotee gets peace of mind, happiness and all his troubles are removed.

1) I am recollecting God Ganesh early in the morning. God Ganesh is caretaker of helpless or orphaned devotees. He looks for the good of such devotees. He is destroyer of all difficulties, troubles of his devotees. His temples are shining as shendur (a red color paste) is applied on them. God Indra (King of the gods) and other Gods always worship God Ganesh. I am recollecting God Ganesh early in the morning and humbly bowing in front of him.
2) God Brahma is also devotee of God Ganesh. God Ganesh is always giving blessing to his devotees and gives them what they want. He is looking very beautiful. King of the Serpents is God Ganesha’s holy thread. He is son of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is always looking after the welfare of his devotees.

3) God Ganesh always protects his devotees who surrender to him. He destroys poverty, sorrow and troubles of his devotees. He is looking very beautiful. He removes false knowledge of his devotees and blesses them with the true knowledge. We become happy seeing God Ganesh in the morning. God Ganesh increases energy, enthusiasm and power of his devotees. I am recollecting the son of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati; God Ganesh early in the morning and humbly bowing in front of him.
4) The above three sholkas are very pious. Anyone whosoever recite these sholkas early in the morning with concentration, devotion and faith in mind will be bless by God Ganesh and become happy. All his wishes will be fulfilled by God Ganesh.
