Frequently asked questions about Runa Vimochana Ganesha Stotram

What is this stotram for?

Runa vimochana - release from debt. It is recited by those under a financial burden, addressing Ganesha as the remover of the specific obstacle of owing, and it is one of the few hymns aimed at a single practical difficulty.

How is it recited?

Usually as a sankalpa - daily for a fixed period, commonly forty-one days, in the morning after a bath, before a Ganesha murti with durva and a lamp. Wednesdays and Chaturthi are the days emphasised.

Does reciting it clear a debt?

Not by itself, and no responsible teacher says otherwise. It is recited for clarity, courage and the will to keep to a repayment - the tradition treats honest dealing as the substance of the remedy and the hymn as its support.

Which other remedies are named for debt?

Ganesha and Kubera worship, Wednesday and Thursday observance, and Angarki Chaturthi. Where the chart is being read, jyotish looks at the 6th house and its lord - the remedy tool reads it from your own placements.

What is offered with it?

Durva in odd-numbered blades, red flowers, sindoor, modak, and a ghee lamp. Many add a daan of food or a modest gift, since giving while in want is part of what the observance is asking.
