Maha Ganesha Pancharatnam is a stotra composed by Sri Adi Sankaracharya on God Ganesha, the elder son of God Shiva. The meaning of this stotra clearly explains the qualities and nature of God Ganesha along with the benefits of praying him.
Pancharatnam means five jewels. The composer, Guru Sri Adi Shankaracharya had praised the God Ganesha by presenting these five stanzas as five jewels, hence the name Maha Ganesha Pancharatnam.
The last part of this stotra explains the phalastuti or the benefits of reading, where it was explained that whoever recites the ganesha pancharatnam will be bestowed with good health, wealth, and knowledge. Also reciting this stotram helps oneself to overcome the obstacles by the grace of God Ganesha.
