Ganesha
Ganesha is our favorite God,
Rides on a mouse and worthy of laud.
Sees to it always that we face no block,
Modaka he has in plenty of stock.

Sages, Teachers, and Bharat Mata
Thank our teachers and sages of yore,
Who show us the way to learn and grow more.
With mountains, rivers, and valleys so nice,
May Bharat Mata’s fame always rise.

Saraswathy
Goddess of learning, Saraswathy,
With folded hands, we pray to thee.
Blessings we seek for success from you,
Let our knowledge be as great as you.

Krishna
Smiling Lord Krishna, playing the flute,
With dancing peacocks and calves so cute.
God of kindness, mercy, and love,
Make our hearts as tender as a dove.

Shiva
Lord of the yogis with three eyes and bull,
Easily pleased and so merciful.
Greatest of doctors, make us so strong,
Watch over us that we do no wrong.

Hanuman
You can lift mountains and fly over the sea,
You are Lord Rama’s best devotee.
You strike the evil like a lightning bolt,
Your arms for us are safe as a vault.

Surya
Show us the light, Oh God so bright,
Surya, you dispel the gloom of the night.
Giver of life and might for all,
Look after us so we never fall.
