Ganesha Ashtottara Shatanamavali
ॐ विनायकाय नमः ।Also known as Ganesha Ashtothram
In Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English — with the meaning of every word, and the one syllable most people pronounce wrongly.
What the Ganesha Ashtottara Shatanamavali is
The Ganesha Ashtottara Shatanamavali gives the 108 names of Ganesha in the form printed in Vinayaka Chaturthi puja books, opening with Vinayaka, Vighnaraja and Gauriputra and closing with Sarvasiddhipradayaka, the giver of every accomplishment. It names no author. The list is drawn from the Vighneshvara Ashtottarashatanama Stotram, where the same names fill fourteen and a half verses in the nominative; here each becomes a dative, as in vinayakaya, 'to Vinayaka', with Om before it and namah after. The order has a loose plan. The opening names place Ganesha in his family, as Gauri's son, Skanda's elder brother and the son of Sharva. Between Names 27 and 36 come the elephant face, the single tusk, the four arms, the great belly and the ears like winnowing fans. Names 39 and 40 call him Time and lord of the planets. Names 43 and 56 to 61 list what his hands hold: noose and goad, mace, discus, sugarcane bow and lotus. The last four names end on joy, contentment and a serene self.
Shiva's praise before the arrow at Tripura
The stotram behind this list names its first reciter in its closing lines. With these hundred and eight names, they say, Shankara praised his son, the lord of obstacles, when he rose to destroy Tripura, the three cities of the asuras. The Shiva Purana tells the episode without the names. In the tenth chapter of the Yuddha Khanda of its Rudra Samhita, Shiva holds his bow drawn in the archer's stance for a hundred thousand years, yet the three cities never come into his aim. A voice from the sky tells him that the cities will not fall until Ganesha has been worshipped. Shiva calls Bhadrakali, worships the elephant-faced god, and only then sees the three cities standing together as one target. Temple tradition at Acharapakkam in Kanchipuram district keeps another version: Shiva set out without first worshipping his son, Ganesha broke the axle pin of the great chariot, and the village takes its name from the broken achu. A second 108-name stotram, whose colophon places it in the Bhavishyottara Purana, has no Tripura line at all. In the Vinayaka Chaturthi puja, printed books set this namavali directly after the offering of twenty-one kinds of leaves and before the incense.

The syllable people get wrong
Name 2, vighnarājāya (विघ्नराजाय), is often said 'vig-na-raja' or 'vi-ghana-raja'. The gh is breathy and runs straight into the n with no vowel between them, and both following a's are long: VIGH-na-RAA-jaa-ya.
When the Ganesha Ashtottara Shatanamavali is chanted
Weekday. Tuesday
Festival. Vinayaka Chaturthi (Ganesh Chaturthi)
Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
