Hridayachya Talawar Nache Ganeshu / हृदयाच्या तालावर नाचे गणेशु

📜 Original Marathi Lyrics:

हृदयाच्या तालावर नाचे गणेशु
निनादति पैंजणे उजळली त्रिभुवने
प्रकाशाली सारी माने छंद भूमे
आनंदाचा आज

सात स्वरांनी केली प्रार्थना
गणराया तुम्ही यावे नर्तना
रंगमंचकी या विश्वाच्या
ताल घुमू दे भिडू दे प्राण
थरारती दाहीदिशा
चकितहो उषानिशा
गगनात भिडे पखवाज

हलवीत शुंडा झुलवीत शेला
किणकिण करिते सोन मेखला
कांचन मुकुटी कौस्तुभ सुंदर
झळकून उठले आज
चराचर गण नाचे नमनाला
रंग भरे नुपूरला
हृदयात जाती स्वरनाद

नेत्र कटाक्षे त्रिभुवन झुलते
तारांगण हे रूपास भुलते
रवीचंद्रांची होय निरांजने
तेजाने त्या तनमन न्हाले
सोहळा हा जागलासे
रिद्धी सिद्धी उदीतसे
भक्ती रंगी रंगे गणनाद

गीतकार: प्रवीण दावणे
संगीतकार: नंदू होनप

Hridayachya taalavar naache Ganeshu
Ninadati painjane, ujalali tribhuvane
Prakashali saari maane chhand bhume

Saat swarani keli prarthana

🌸 English Meaning:

Ganesha dances to the rhythm of the heart,
Anklets resound and light spreads across the three worlds,
Everything glows as the Earth herself sways to this joyous cadence.

The seven musical notes offer their prayer:
"O Ganaraya, please descend and dance!"
Let the stage of this universe echo with rhythm,
Let it stir the breath of life—
All directions tremble in awe,
Dawn and dusk stand enchanted,
The heavens resound like a mighty drum.

He moves his trunk, sways his stole,
Golden girdles jingle with each graceful move,
His crown shines with jewels and radiance—
The whole cosmos rises to bow.
His anklets burst with color,
And melodies rise in the heart.

At the glance of His eyes, all worlds sway,
Stars fall in love with His form,
The Sun and Moon become His lamps.
Bathed in that divine glow,
This celebration awakens all,
Riddhi and Siddhi arise,
Devotion dances in the echoes of His name.

---

🪔 Reflection:

This vibrant bhajan evokes a cosmic celebration where Ganesha—the remover of obstacles—is not just worshipped, but danced into the heart of creation. His every movement is a blessing: the rhythm of His feet becomes the pulse of life, the sparkle of His ornaments becomes the dawn itself, and His presence electrifies the universe. Each line pulls us into a scene where music, devotion, and divine energy fuse into a joyous festival. The Earth, sky, stars, and our very breath join the performance. This isn't merely a performance; it’s a realization—when divinity dances within us, all realms align. In a world distracted by noise, this bhajan gently invites us to realign with the inner rhythm, where Ganesha's graceful steps awaken beauty, courage, and blissful surrender. Let us not just listen—let us let Him dance within us.

that Lord Pandurang Himself began dancing in love!
Janabai exclaimed, “O Lord, chant the sacred abhangs!” ||Dhr.||

As the abhangs were sung in deep devotion,
a divine ecstasy filled the air—
so much so that the Lord began dancing in bliss! ||1||

🕉️Reflection

This is One of profound and deeply devotional song that beautifully captures the essence of pure bhakti, where heartfelt kirtan by Namdev fills the air with such love that even Lord Panduranga begins to dance in joy. It reflects the power of sincere devotion that dissolves all barriers between the devotee and the divine. As Janabai surrenders at the feet of the saints and finds liberation through Vitthabai’s grace, the song reminds us that true spiritual freedom comes not through rituals, but through love, surrender, and the joyful remembrance of God’s name.

Meaning (in English)

I surrender to the son of Hari and Hara, who sits in yogic posture, who enchants the universe, whose feet are worshipped, who destroys ignorance, and dances eternally.

One who delights in devotional chants, resides in the hearts of devotees, appears radiant like the sun, and is the master of all the divine beings.
He is the essence of love and truth, giver of life, fulfiller of wishes, radiantly auspicious, a temple of the sacred Om, and lover of devotional singing.
The one who rides a horse, has a beautiful face, holds a divine mace, described in the Vedas, and showers the grace of the Guru.
Worshipped by all three worlds, divine in nature, radiant with three eyes, spiritual guide of the gods, and fulfiller of all who seek.
Remover of fear and suffering, full of emotional warmth, enchanting the world, adorned with sacred ash, riding a divine white elephant.
One with a gentle smile and beautiful face, body soft like a baby elephant, moving like a lion with the strength of an elephant.
Beloved to his devotees, granter of their desires, ornament of the Vedas, life of saints, and enchanted by devotional singing.

Reflection

The Hariharatmaja Ashtakam is a divine composition that glorifies Lord Ayyappa, the son of Lord Vishnu (Hari) and Lord Shiva (Hara). Through each stanza, the devotee celebrates his form, his qualities, and his leelas. The repetition of "Hariharatmajam Devam Ashraye" becomes a spiritual mantra for inner surrender, purity, and devotion. Chanting or listening to this ashtakam during daily worship or during the Mandala period deepens bhakti and centers the mind on divinity.
