Shri Ganesha Dwadasa Nama Stotram is a Hindu mantra that consists of 12 names of Lord Ganesha. It is believed that chanting these names can help to destroy obstacles and fears, and help to attain all desires in life. The mantra is from the Narada Purana. It begins with “Pranamya sirasa devam, Gauri putram, Vinayakam, Bhakthya vyasa smaren nithya, Mayu kama artha sidhaye”.
The Ganesa sthavam or the stotram is chanted on the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi in the praise of the Lord Ganesha. The chant or the stotram celebrates the essences of Ganesha, the formless deity worshipped in a magnificent form of the elephant-headed God, symbolizing the divine qualities, for the benefit of the devotees.
