Gajamukhane Siddhi dayakane/ ಗಜಮುಖನೆ ಸಿದ್ಧಿದಾಯಕನೆ

🎼 Lyrics in Kannada:
ಗಜಮುಖನೆ ಸಿದ್ಧಿದಾಯಕನೆ ವಂದಿಪೆ ಶರಣು
ತ್ರಿಜಗ ವಂದಿತನಾದ ದೇವ ದೇವನೆ ಶರಣು |
ಸುಜನರಿಗೆ ವಿಘ್ನವನು ಪರಿಹರಿಪೆ ಶರಣು
||ಗಜಮುಖನೆ||
 
ಮಂದ ಮತಿಯನು ಬಿಡಿಸಿ ಚಂದ ಜ್ಞಾನವನಿತ್ತು|
ಇಂದಿರೇಶನ ಪಾದ ಹೊಂದಿಪ್ಪ ತೆರದಿ|
ಸುಂದರಾಂಗನೆ ಪದದ್ವಂದ್ವಕೆರಗುವೆನು ನಿನ್ನ|
ಸಂದೇಹ ಮಾಡದಲೆ ಇಂದು ಕರುಣಿಪುದು
||ಗಜಮುಖನೆ||
 
ಹರನ ತನಯನೆ ಕರುಣಾಕರನೆ ಸುರನರ ವರದ |
ಮೊರೆಯ ಲಾಲಿಸಿ ಎನ್ನ ಕರಗಳನು ಪಿಡಿದು|
ಪೊರೆಯದಿದ್ದರೆ ಬಿಡೆನು ನೆರದೆ ನಿನ್ನಡಿಗಳನು |
ತ್ವರಿಯದಿಂದಲಿ ನೋಡು ಶರಣೆಂಬೆ ನಿನಗೆ
||ಗಜಮುಖನೆ||
 
ಸಿದ್ಧಿದಾಯಕ ನಿನ್ನ ಹೊದ್ದಿ ಮೆರೆವೆನೊ ನಾನು|
ಅಬ್ಧಿಶಯನನ ಮಹಿಮೆ ಬಧ್ದದಲಿ ಪೇಳ್ವ|
ಶುದ್ಧಮತಿಯನು ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಉದ್ಧರಿಸಬೇಕೆನ್ನ. |
ಮಧ್ವವಲ್ಲಭ ಶ್ರೀಕೃಷ್ಣಗತಿ ಪ್ರಿಯನಾ
||ಗಜಮುಖನೆ||

🪔 Reflections:
This devotional gem is a heartfelt prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the granter of success. It beautifully blends reverence with intimacy, showing the devotee's trust that the Lord will respond—not just to rituals, but to genuine surrender. The poet appeals for clarity of mind, divine wisdom, and liberation from ignorance, anchoring his faith in the compassionate hands of the Lord.
 
The repeated invocation “||Gajamukhane||” at the end of each stanza acts like a refrain—an inner chant echoing the soul’s longing. Ganesha is not just a remover of hurdles, but a divine guide who awakens higher understanding and grace, helping us progress on the path to truth.
 
This bhajan reminds us that divinity is not distant. When we approach with a humble and yearning heart, the divine rushes to embrace us with unconditional love.
