Ganesha Medley by Natesh Kirtan published on 2014-06-21T00:40:44Z This track is from my Bliss of Kirtan album and is available for purchase on my website at this link: https://nateshkirtan.com/store. The track is a medley of two Ganesha chants written by Natesh. The first is 'Vakratunda Mahakaya' and the second is 'Ganesha Sharanam Sharanam Ganesha' (which opens with the mantra Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha). There is an instrumental transition between the two chants, which are in different keys. The lyrics for the two different chants are as shown below. The track opens with a santoor intro by Madan Oak, and features Yvette Om and Joni Allen joining Natesh on call and response vocals. In addition to Madan Oak on santoor, it also instrumentally features Steve Oda on sarod, Daniel Paul on tabla, Ben Leinbach on bass guitar, drums and percussion, and Natesh on guitars, drums and percussion. The lyrics are: 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. Genre World Comment by Zoltán Darabos Joni Allen has a divine voice, can't stop listening this beautiful song 2022-08-26T19:16:29Z
