Sri Ganesha Sloka

Shuklaambara Dharam Vishnum
Shashi Varnam Chatur Bhujam
Prasanna Vadanam Dhyaayet
Sarva Vighna Upashaanthaye

Meaning: We meditate on Lord Ganesha - who is clad in white (representing purity), whose energy is all pervading (present everywhere). His complexion is gray like that of ash (glowing with spiritual splendor), who has four arms, who has bright countenance - like the full moon (for inner calm and happiness) and who can destroy all obstacles (in our spiritual and worldly path).

We begin our prayers invoking Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the Lord of beginnings. 

Sri Ganesha
