"The Fair-faced, the One-tusked, the Tawny, the Elephant-eared, the Big-bellied, the Formidable, the Remover of obstacles, the Leader…"
Meaning
The twelve names of Ganesha, recited before any undertaking to remove obstacles. Gaudiya Vaishnavas honour Ganesha as a devotee: the Brahma-samhita (5.50) says Ganesha himself worships the feet of Govinda to obtain his power to remove obstacles.
