happy ganesh chaturthi!

vakra tunda mahakaya, suryakoti samaprabha,

nirvighnam kuru me deva sarva karyaeshu sarvada.

വക്ര തുണ്ട മഹാകായ, സുര്യകോടി സമപ്രഭ,

നിര്‍വിഘ്നം കുരു മേ ദേവ സര്‍വ കാര്യേഷു സര്‍വദാ 

वक्र तुण्ड महाकाय, सूर्य कोटि समप्रभ

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे सर्व कार्येषु सर्वदा

"Salutations to you, Lord Ganapati!"

"You are in the form of the sound. You are in the form of Consciousness. You are in the form of Bliss. You are the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality. You are the non-dual Existence-Awareness-Bliss  Absolute. You are Brahman manifest before us. You are in the form of knowledge and wisdom."

"The entire universe originates from you; it exists in you and it gets resolved in you. You are the elements – earth, water, fire, air and space. You are the fourfold speech (para, pasyanti, madhyama and vaikhari). You transcend the three gunas (sattva, rajas and tamas); you transcend the three states of consciousness (waking, dream and deep sleep); you transcend the three bodies (gross, subtle and causal); you transcend the three divisions of time (past, present and future). You ever abide in the mooladhara at the base of the spine. You manifest yourself as threefold sakti (iccha, kriya and jñana). Yogis contemplate on you all the time. You are Brahma, you are Vishnu, you are Rudra, you are Indra, you are Agni, you are Vayu, you are Surya and you are Chandra. You are All as Brahman. You are the primordial sounds (or the levels of existence) as bhuh, bhuvah and svah and OM (turiya, the Brahman)!"
