It was indeed a challenging and invigorating experience to make this tutorial. To quantify a creative exercise and to place the concepts correctly , was the challenge and of course the new things I learnt from making this video was indeed worth the hard work.. As I post this video, my humble request to my subscribers, students and well wishers is , please go through the video carefully many times over and understand the concepts that I am trying to emphasize. This knowledge can be applied to other kritis as well. Also do use the comments section to clear your doubts

Meaning for the krithi
English translation

Pallavi
I sing the praises of Ganapathi of Vatapi,
Who has a face of an elephant and showers boons.

Anupallavi
He whose feet are worshipped by all elements,
Who rules over the material earth and its beings,

Madhyama Kala Sahithyam
Who is beyond desires , who is praised by Yogis,
Who is the cause of the world and
Who is the one who removes obstacles.

Charanam
He who was worshipped by Agasthya from early times,
Who is in the center of the triangle in Srichakra,
Who is worshipped by great ones like Lord Vishnu,
Who is in the mooladhara Chakra of the body,
Who is in all the four sounds starting from Para.
Who is of the form of Om with his curly trunk,
Who permanently has a piece of moon on his head,
And who has in his left hand a stick of Sugar cane.

Madhyama Kala Sahithyam
He who holds in his lotus like hands a noose ,goad and fruits,
He who drives away all evils and has a giant form,
He who is adored by Lord Shiva and Lord Subrahmanya,
And He who is close to Shiva and is adorned by Raga Hamsadwani.
