Praise of Ganesh: Gaiye Ganapati - Tulsidas Bhajan

"The Praise of Ganesh: Gaiye Ganapati", is a Hindu devotional song in praise of the elephant headed god Ganesh. Ganesh is variously referred to as Ganapati, Ekadanta, and a host of other names. His blessings are generally invoked at the start of any undertaking, because he is the remover of all obstacles. This song is sung by Chandra (Chandrakantha) Courtney and is accompanied by David Courtney on tabla and Bob Goldman on bansuri. Additionally, this song features rudra vina, tanpura, manjira, and thalam. This piece was written by the 16th century Saint Tulsidas.

This musical video was shot in a desert outside of Las Vegas in the spring of 2000 while we were on tour. It was shot and edited by Michael Beggs of Desert Morning Productions.

This is just to let everyone know that the flute player in this video, Bob Goldman, passed away after a long bout of cancer in September of 2011

I never made any statement as to the vadi / samvadi, so there is nothing to rectify The reason simply is because the whole vadi/samvadi situation is in such a mess that it does not stand up under any academic scrutiny.
