Mantra Pushpanjali


Mantra Pushpanjali (मंत्रपुष्पांजलि) is a popular prayer in Maharashtra, and it means “a prayer with an offering of flowers”. It comprises four hymns from Vedic sources, and is the final prayer sung at the end of Aartis.

During the Ganesh Festival, Mantra Pushpanjali is sung after the Aartis.Unlike the āratis and the bhajan, Mantrapushpanjali is not accompanied by clapping or by hand cymbals. Mantrapushpanjali is enunciated reverentially by devotees holding flowers in their palms. After the recitation, the flowers are offered to the Ganesh idol.


ॐ यज्ञेन यज्ञमयजंत देवास्तानि धर्माणि प्रथमान्यासन्|
ते हं नाकं महिमान: सचंत यत्र पूर्वे साध्या: संति देवा:
ॐ राजाधिराजाय प्रसह्ये साहिने | नमो वयं वैश्रवणाय कुर्महे
स मे कामान्कामकामाय मह्यम्| कामेश्वरो वैश्रवणो ददातु|
कुबेराय वैश्रवणाय | महाराजाय नम: ॐ स्वस्ति
साम्राज्यं भौज्यं स्वाराज्यं वैराज्यं पारमेष्ठ्यं राज्यं माहाराज्यमाधिपत्यमयं समंतपर्यायी
स्यात्सार्वभौम: सार्वायुष आंतादापरार्धात्पृथिव्यै समुद्रपर्यंता या एकराळिति
तदप्येष श्लोकोऽभिगीतो मरुत: परिवेष्टारो मरुत्तस्यावसन्गृहे
आविक्षितस्य कामप्रेर्विश्वेदेवा: सभासद इति
