From the recording Flying With Swans
"Shri Ganapati" is another name of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. We begin kirtan by invoking this aspect of the divine, trusting that our kirtan will be blessed.
Lyrics
Shri Ganapati om
Namo namaste, namo namah
Om Ganapati om
Parvati Pati, namo namah
Namo, namo namah!
