about

This track is a medley of two Ganesha chants. The first is 'Vakratunda Mahakaya' and the second is 'Ganesha Sharanam Sharanam Ganesha' (which opens with the mantra Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha). The lyrics for the two different chants are as shown. There is an instrumental transition between the two chants, which are in different keys. The track opens with a santoor intro by Madan Oak.

lyrics

OM Vakratunda Mahaakaaya Suryakoti Samaprabha
Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva Kaaryeshu Sarvadaa

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
Ganesha Sharanam Sharanam Ganesha


Meanings:

O, one with twisted trunk and enormous form, who shines more brilliantly than a billion Suns, please bless me that all obstacles be removed from all my endeavors, always.

Salutations to Ganapati (Ganesha). I seek refuge in Ganesha.
