Did you know that Lord Ganesha is the
most recognized Indian God around the world? This elephant headed God is a
symbol of good fortune, rewarding devotees with success and prosperity. When we
start prayers, he is the first one to be honoured. His images have been created
in almost every innovative way possible. Lord Ganesha is also known to destroy
pride, vanity and selfishness.
At times when we feel depressed and
can't seem to overcome our problems, praying to Lord Ganesha is believed to
give hope and relax the puzzled mind. Starting the day by remembering Him is
also said to give peace and boost one’s energy. Bollywood offers numerous Hindi
songs in honour of our loving 'Maruti', as He is also known.
Songs for the God of Hope and Peace
- Sindoor Lal Chadayo: This truly devotional song is from the film Vaastav starring Sanjay Dutt and Namrata Shirodkar. Sung by Ravindra Sathe, this aarti holds the true essence of Lord Ganesha. An adrenaline rush runs through the body listening to this high energy song. The constant beats, in the form of clapping hands, complements the lyrics.
- Deva Shree Ganesha: Standing in front of a huge Ganpati idol, Hrithik Roshan sings in His honour. This fast paced number will certainly give you goosebumps. The song overshadowed all other songs from the film Agneepath. Sung by Ajay Gogavale (or Ajay-Atul), the lyrics are written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
- Morya Re: This high energy song is from the movie Don starring Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra. The dhol beats infuse a desi touch to the song. It is sung by the very talented Shankar Mahadevan and the lyrics are written by Javed Akhtar. Mahadevan's forceful voice adds to the beauty of this song.
- Deva Ho Deva Ganpati: With dholak beats and manjeera twangs, this song has energetic dance moves by Mithun Chakravorty and Amjad Khan. This is a classic from the 1981 film, Hum se Badhkar Kaun. The song gained huge popularity in the 90s, since there were no other songs in matching its energy. This wonderful number was sung by Shailender Singh, Asha Bhosle, Mohammad Rafi and Bhupinder.
- Shree Ganeshay Dhimahi: Again rendered in the reverberating voice of Shankar Mahadevan, this song is from Viruddh, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Sharmila Tagore. The song has a positive energy that will make you forget your worries and make you feel hopeful. It is not just a song but a divine experience.
