Marathi song devoted to the Hindu god Ganesha

Sukhakarta Dukhaharta (literally "harbinger of happiness and dispeller of distress",Marathi: सुखकर्ता दु:खहर्ता, sukhakartā duḥkhaharta), also spelled as Sukhkarta Dukhharta, is a popular Marathiarati, song or bhajan (devotional song) dedicated to the Hindu godGanesha, composed by the saint Samarth Ramdas ( - CE). It is included in the "most standard and almost universal" aarti songs sung at the start of Puja (worship rituals) of Ganesha in Maharashtra, especially in his festival Ganesh Chaturthi as well as in Ganesha temples in the region.

Background

Ganesha is the Hindu god of wisdom, knowledge and new beginnings. He is depicted with an elephant head. Samarth Ramadas was inspired to compose the arati by seeing the icon of Mayureshwara (a form of Ganesha) at Morgaon Ganesha Temple, the chief shrine in the Ashtavinayaka pilgrimage circuit, consisting of eight Ganesha temples around Pune. The arati is composed in the raga (musical mode) Jogiya (Jogia).

Pratapaditya Pal describes the "addresses and references" to Ganesha in the song as "remarkable", considering Samarth Ramdas's patron deity was Rama, not Ganesha.

The genre of arati songs is written in vernacular languages, as opposed the hymns of Hindu religious rituals and mantras, which are in Sanskrit. These songs are sung at the finale of the Puja (worship rituals), while a worshipper offers light to the god. This is done by waving a plate with oil- or ghee-soaked lit wicks in front of the icon.

Contents and commentary

Sukhakarta Dukhaharta contains three stanzas as well as a chorus stanza that is repeated after every stanza.
