Ganesa 10 - Ashtavinayaka - A Pilgrimage
My Salutations
To the Ashta Vinayakas!
The eight manifestations of Ganesa,
Residing in eight sacred places,
In the fertile land of Maharashtra.
Varada Vinayaka temple in Mahad,
Mayureshvara Vinayaka temple in Morgaon,
Ballaleshwara temple in Pali,
Siddhi Vinayaka temple in Siddhatek,
Chintamani temple in Theur
Vigneshvara Vinayaka temple in Ozar,
Maha Ganapati temple in Ranjangaon and
Girijaatmaj temple in Lenyadri.
I worship and pray
To the wonderful Ashtavinayakas:
With true devotion and faith,
By offerings of flowers and fruits,
And a heart full of love and devotion.
I went on a pilgrimage of Ashtavinayaka temples in 20018, after I published my book" Jai Jai Sri Ganesa" in praise of Ganapati.
For those who have deep faith, Ganapati blesses abundantly with health, happiness and success.
Siddhi Vinayaka, Vinayaka, Vignesa, Ganesa, Ganapati, Gajanana are all names of the elephant headed God of the Hindu pantheon worshipped and adored by millions of people in India.
I have been to these eight ashtavinayaka temples. Its such a beauty to the eyes.
Love and devotion! ! Prayer. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
