॥ Yogiraj Gajanan Maharaj Dhun ॥
Om Namo Sadguru, Shri Gajanan Baba,
Shri Gajanan Baba, Shri Gajanan Baba ॥
O Sky-clad Gajanan, come (you) to (our) protection ॥
Come, Guru Gajanan, oh — give me darshan, O Swami ॥
I have the obsession of Gajanan, who keeps (me) absorbed in name-japa ॥
Speak Gajanan with the lips — speak "Gan Gan Ganat Bote" ॥
The Swami's dwelling in our home — by it the destruction of the six enemies (lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, jealousy) ॥
My Gajanan is simple-hearted — on remembering, darshan from time to time ॥
Gopala, Gopala — Gajanan Baba, Gopala;
Sai Baba, Gopala — Gajanan Baba, Gopala ॥
