| Introduction to the Gaṇeśa Sahasranāma (6:29) | Brief introduction to sahasranāmas as a form of scripture. There are two major variants of the Gaṇeśa Sahasranāma, with minor variants of each form. The version chanted here is given in the commentary by Bhāskararāya, which is based on Gaṇeśa Purāṇa (I.46).
|
| Invocation verses (4:28) | Invocation to Lord Gaṇeśa and to the Guru. |
| Preliminary remarks by the commentator Bhāskararāya (4:09) | Bhāskararāya titles his commentary "Khadyota", which means either "firefly" or "sun." Because it is brief, it may seem like a firefly, but to devotees it is like the sun. |

Oral history preservation notes |
Ram Karan Sharma was recorded in San Francisco beginning in September, 2005, and continuing through 2007. The audio segments were very lightly edited to eliminate background noise, false starts, and interruptions. In cases where more than one audio take was available, the final form may be a composite edited to provide the most clear version.
