Guardian of the Threshold

Prayer to Ganesha

We pray to you Ganesha, 
    Father of the Gods

Your mother is Lady Paravati,
    your father Mahadeva

We pray to you Ganesha, 
    Father of the Gods

You, with two kinds of teeth
    and four strong arms

You have vermillion on your forehead
And ride on a rat

We pray to you Ganesha,
    Father of the Gods
