Lord Ganesha’s parents names are Lord Shiva and Mother Sri Parvati Devi. Lord Ganesha’s brother name is Kartikeya (also known as Skanda / Shanmukha / Subramanya / Murugan etc.)
Now, let us start to know the very divine and auspicious stotrams (stuti, sloka) of Lord Ganesha:
List of the Lord Ganesha stotrams (stuti, slokas) are as given below:
1. वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नम् कुरु मे देव सर्व कार्येषु सर्वदा॥
ವಕ್ರತುಂಡ ಮಹಾಕಾಯ ಕೋಟಿಸೂರ್ಯ ಸಮಪ್ರಭ
ನಿರ್ವಿಘ್ನಂ ಕುರುಮೇ ದೇವ ಸರ್ವಕಾರ್ಯೇಷು ಸರ್ವದಾ
vakratuṇḍa mahākāya kōṭisūrya samaprabha
