Sri Tulaseevanam has other kRtis on this particular gaNESa - bhaja mAnasa in bahudAri - where the gaNESa is refered to as pUrvApaNa (east-facing). So my question is, which gaNESa is he refering to? And exactly which town is east-facing? Because in this kRti he refers to pUrvApaNapura

[aaaaabbbbb]

SrI Tulaseevanam may be referring to these temples.

Ashtavinayaka temples are well known. Of these,the temples in Ballaleshwar,Varadavinayak, Vighnahar, and Mahaganapati face east.

1 Moreshwar Temple Morgaon, Pune district
2 Siddhivinayak Temple Siddhatek, Ahmednagar district
3 Ballaleshwar Temple Pali, Raigad district
4 Varadavinayak Temple Mahad, near Khopoli, Raigad district
5 Chintamani Temple Theur, Pune district
6 Girijatmaj Temple Lenyadri, Pune district
7 Vighnahar Temple Ozar, Pune district
8 Mahaganapati Temple Ranjangaon, Pune district

Regards.

Thank you, Smt. Savitri!
Are there any east-facing gaNESas in Kerala, given that Sri Tulasivanam is from Kerala?

Here is one of them:

Please read a post in our forum regarding 'Tulaseevanam' songs specially his song "bhajamAnasa vignEswaramaniSam" on the following link
http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic. ... aja+mAnasa
pUrvapaNa is referred to the place " pazhavangAdi " meaning "the ancient/old market/Bazar" in malayalam. The famous Ganesh temple called the "pazhavangAdi Ganapathy Temple" is situated at this place (pazhavangAdi) near West Fort at Trivandrum near to Sri. Padmanabhaswamy temple. Sri. Tulaseevanam (the composer) has referred to this temple in this song as well as in the song 'Bhaja Manasa Vigneswaramanisham" also.
'pUrvapaNa sadana ganEsham' means the Lord Ganesha who resides (sadanam) at pazhavangAdi (pUrvapaNam)
Both the words 'pUrvapaNapura' and 'pUrvapaNa sadanam' mean the same viz. residing at 'pazhavangAdi'. The sanskrit words purAna and pUrva mean 'ancient'

Can anyone provide an audio link for this song, please.

[Lakshman]

T.V.Sankaranarayanan has sung this in an AVM audio cassette.
