The traditional Ganesh invocation
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा ॥
vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha | nirvighnaṃ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā ||
Our plain-language meaning: O great-bodied Lord with the curved trunk, radiant as ten million suns, may my undertakings always be free of obstacles.
This is a traditional invocation. We do not claim a specific Vedic or scriptural origin. Reference: Chinmaya Madhuvan, Bala Vihar Invocation, page 1 (PDF).
Mahalakshmyashtakam, verse 7
पद्मासनस्थिते देवि परब्रह्मस्वरूपिणि ।
परमेशि जगन्माता महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
padmāsanasthite devi parabrahmasvarūpiṇi | parameśi jaganmātā mahālakṣmi namo’stu te ||
Our plain-language meaning: Salutations to Mahalakshmi, seated on a lotus, embodiment of the supreme reality, supreme Lady and Mother of the world.
This devotional passage expresses gratitude and reverence. It does not promise a financial outcome. Reference: Sanskrit Documents, Mahalakshmyashtakam.
Bhagavad Gita 2.50, final phrase
योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्
yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam — “Yoga is skill in action.”
This is the final phrase, not the complete verse. Its wider context concerns equanimity and action. It should not be reduced to a promise about productivity or profit. Reference: Gita Supersite, IIT Kanpur, Bhagavad Gita 2.50.
