Dwatrimshath Ganapathi dhyanam
Dwathimsath Ganapathi dhyana slokas.¬
¬
Translated by¬
P.R.Ramachander¬
¬
According to Mudgala Purana , a book dealing with Lord Ganesa, there are thirty two forms of Ganesa. These are listed described along with pictures and Dhyana Slokas are in a Kannada book called Sri Thathwa nidhi, in the chapter on Shiva Nidhi. These pictures along with the slokas are sculpturally represented along with Dhyana Slokas in the temple at Nanjangud as well as Chamaraja nagar near Mysore. I got these slokas in a book pulished by the Ganesa temple of Connaught place , new Delhi in the year 1969. Each Dhyana sloka gives a detailed form of that Ganesa. Ganesa devotees believe that chanting these 32 slokas would help you fulfill all your wishes. Detailed iconography along with a drawn picture along with slokas their translation as well as the location of the concerned temples is available in the web site ¬
