Ganesha Gayatri Mantra
तन्नो दंतिः प्रचोदयात्
tanno dantiḥ pracodayāt
Description
Gaṇapati Gāyatrī: In the Gayatri of each form of God, there are the words vidmahe, dhimahi and tannaḥ pracodayāt. It is a prayer which means, ‘We meditate as we know You or have heard of You. May You enlighten us or inspire us.’ In between these words, three names specifying the particular form of God, to whom we pray and meditate upon are mentioned. In the case of Ganapati Gāyatrī, the names are eka-danta (one-tusked one), vakra-tuṇḍa (one with trunk turned towards the right or left – not straight) and danti – one with tusk. All three names refer to the elephant face of Ganapati.
‘O Lord Ganapati, we meditate on Your divine form as we have heard of You, do guide us on the right path, do inspire us to walk the spiritual path and do enlighten us with knowledge of Your true nature.’
