Ganapati Dhyana Slokas
Dwathimsath Ganapathi Dhyana SlokasTranslated by P. R. Ramachander
[According to Mudgala Purana, a book dealing with Lord Ganesha, there are thirty two forms of Ganesha. These are described along with pictures and Dhyana Slokas 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 published by the Ganesha temple of Connaught Place, New Delhi in the year 1969. Each Dhyana Sloka gives a detailed form of that Ganesha. Ganesha devotees believe that chanting these 32 slokas would help you fulfill all your wishes. Detailed iconography along with a drawn picture along with slokas and their translation as well as the location of the concerned temples is available in the web site at divinebrahmanda.com/search?q=Forms++of+Ganapathi. Illustrated information about the 32 Ganesha forms are also available at: xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/4681354/386629983/name/32+forms+of+Lord+Ganesh.pdf. However the order in which these 32 forms are presented is very much different.]
