:Meaning:

Sri Narada says:

With head bowed, let me unceasingly worship in my mind the god Vinayaka, the son of Gauri,
The refuge of his devotees, for the complete attainment of longevity, amorous desires and wealth.

Firstly, as the one with the twisted trunk. Secondly, as the one with the single tusk.
Thirdly, as the one with the fawn colored eyes. Fourthly, as the one with the elephants mouth.

Fifthly, as the pot-bellied one, Sixthly, as the monstrous one,
Seventhly, as the king of obstacles, Eighthly, as the smoke colored one

Ninethly, as the moon crested one, Tenthly, as the remover of hindrances,
Eleventhly, as the Lord of the hordes, Twelfthly, as the one with the elephants face.

Whosoever repeats these twelve names at dawn, noon and sunset,
for him there is no fear of failure, nay, there is constant good fortune.

He who desires knowledge obtains knowledge.
He who desires wealth obtains wealth.
He who desires sons gets sons.
He who desires salvation obtains the way.

Whosoever mutters the hymn to Ganapati reaches his aim in six months,
and in a year reaches perfection, on this point there is no doubt.

Whosoever makes eight copies of it, and has them distributed to as many brahmans,
he reaches knowledge instantaneously, by the grace of Ganesh.

Binkhambi Ganapati, Kolhapur

An architectural wonder, the unique feature of the Binkhambi Ganesh Mandir is that it has been constructed without the use of even a single pillar. In Marathi ‘Binkhambi’ means without pillars. The Ganesh idol at the Binkhambi Ganesh Mandir was discovered while repairing a well. Although the temple has been built in 1882, the idol is believed to be much older.
