Shree Ganeshaaya Dhimahi - Cover By Shreedhar
Shree Ganeshaaya Dhimahi - ... Lyrics & Chords
This is a beautiful bhajan/devotional song that is very dear to me – a prayer to Lord Ganesha – remover of all obstacles – this song was made famous by Shankar Mahadevan’s beautiful rendition set to music composition by Ajay-Atul given a unique musical flavor in this song as a fusion of choir vocals with Indian classical singing.
The song is also unique in that it is probably the only Bollywood song in recent history that is in Sanskrit language and one that has become a commercial success.
I thank Harshan bhai for his consistent encouragement, feedback, and large heart – this song is very dear to him.
I have taken a voice cut track intending to demo the cover as no karaoke track was available. No copyright infringement intended. And as a result, I am not able to share this track with others here. My advance apologies.
Hope you all will enjoy this rendition as much as I loved doing it.

Well… I liked this instantly when Harshan Bro shared the video link to listen… I too had plans to cover this sometime… :) Now having this as a testimony as to how a bhajan should be delivered, I understand I cannot do justice to this song at all… :) Downloading this to appease my dad who keeps grumbling for not reciting slokas/devotional numbers… Thanks aNNa for singing this with utmost sanctity, devotion and involvement… Will share the rest offline… God bless you!!!
Thanks,

Happy Navrathri, Shreedhar. Melodious, soulstirring and divine rendition – I just love the lyrics of this song! Harshan is an absolute gem of a person, and one of those people whose feedback inspires one to do better. Lovely dedication, and I enjoyed my morning listen. Planning to have my son sing this song someday… small steps.
Love the gamakas at Gopa Gopaaya Dhimahi!

Shree, what a beutiful composition by Shankar Mahadevan and an equally well presentation by you. It sounds more on the Carnatic Paddhati. You have a very good pakad on sur and laya. Enjoyed it! Fav!

Couldn’t refrain from cursing the deity(for whom this hymn was consecrated), for having let such a talent as you, go unnoticed… Nevertheless, I should also thank Him for giving me a chance to stay close to such a talent, demanding newer posts everyday… :)

Thank you Sarada, Sandeep, Neetu sis, Sheba, Saroj.
Raj, you are too kind – you are no less my dear brother – your talent will surely open the eyes and minds of one of the top producers soon.
On the sleep side of things, I doubt this song with its agile beats will ever get even a baby to sleep :-)
I have a good suggestion for you on that – assuming you have an iPhone or Android phone – try this free app called AmbiScience and listen to some of its sleep mode settings vibrations on a headphone. It will get you deep sleep scientifically :-) – It has helped me many times.
Other times, I listen to someone singing a slow alaap or chat in Raag Bageshri and it promptly gets me into deep peaceful state to sleep.

What a pick and pro rendition, Shreedhar bhai! Loved it in your voice. The Music is composed by Ajay-Atul who are leading MDs in Marathi presently and are known for their unconventional and gripping compositions as well as lyrics.
Goes to my fav’s!

Folks, its so good to see so many of you share a passion for this song specially and more so during this festive season. Wish you all a Happy Navratri/Durga Puja
Rajeevji, I somehow missed seeing your feedback. Sorry about that. Thank you very much. The composition is by Ajay-Atul, brilliant music composers. The style is a mix of both Hindustani and Carnatic I guess :-)
Chondryma, you are right that everything has to start with a shreeganesh vandan and this is fitting for this time.
Adwait bhai, yes Ajay Atul are brilliant music directors. Even in this song, they have made the choir sounds with just the Swars of those notes. :-) but it gives the operatic/choir style feel.
Thank you very much Diptanu

Nice staunch rendition Sreedhar.
Western classical orchestration with Indian melodic content. Reminded me of Ilayaraja’s Thiruvasagam Album.
