गणेशः

Lord Ganesha

Remover of obstacles, lord of beginnings

Hymns to Ganesha open the path of study and worship. Shankara's Ganesha Pancharatnam, Ganapati Stotram, and Ganesha Bhujangam praise the elephant-faced Lord as the auspicious doorway to wisdom and the dispeller of inner and outer hindrances.
