In Narada Purana, Sage Narada who is the Rishi connected to the planet Ketu whose deity is Ganesha has given the 12 forms of Lord Ganesha connected with the 12 zodiac signs.

It is called Ganesha Dwadasha Nama Stotram. Towards the end of the Stotram Sage Narada talks about the powerful benefits of writing this Stotram 8 times with red ink and offer it to 8 Brahmins (learned persons).

So on Ganesh Chathurthi after you worship Lord Ganesha, you can write it on 8 times on 8 different papers and give it to 8 Brahmins.

Take few minutes to bring to your awareness all the problems and issues that are bothering you, offer it to Lord Ganesha. You can mix turmeric with water and make a paste and keep a small dot on the paper as a mark of auspiciousness. You can also light a lamp before you begin this remedy!

Ganesh Dwadasha Nama Strotram:

Ganesh Strotam

hri Ganesha Dwadasa Nama Stotram
[From Narada Purana]

Pranamya sirasa devam,
Gauri putram, Vinayakam,
Bhakthya vyasa smaren nithya,
Mayu kama artha sidhaye. 

The learned one, who wishes,
For more life, wealth and love,
Should salute with his head,
Lord Ganapathi who is the son of Parvathy.

Prathamam Vakra thundam cha,
Ekadantham dveethiyakam,
Trithiyam Krishna pingalaksham,
Gajavakthram Chathurthakam.

Think him first as god with broken tusk,
Second as the God with one tusk,
Third as the one with reddish black eyes,
Fourth as the one who has the face of an elephant.

Lambhodaram panchamam cha,
Sashtam Vikatameva cha,
Sapthamam Vignarajam cha,
Dhoomra varnam thadashtamam.

Fifth as the one who has a very broad paunch,
Sixth as the one who is cruel to his enemies,
Seventh as the one who is remover of obstacles,
Eighth as the one who is of the colour of smoke.

Navamam phala chandram cha,
Dasamam thu Vinayakam,
Ekadasam Ganapathim,
Dwadasam the gajananam.

Ninth as the one who crescent in his forehead,
Tenth as the one, who is the leader of remover of obstacles,
Eleventh as the leader of the army of Lord Shiva,
And twelfth as the one who has the face of an elephant.

Dwathasaithani namani,
Trisandhyam ya paden nara,
Na cha vigna bhayam thasya,
Sarva sidhi karam dhruvam.

Any one reading these twelve names,
At dawn, noon and dusk,
Will never have fear of defeat,
And would always achieve whatever he wants.

Vidyarthi labhadhe vidhyam,
Danarthi labhathe danam,
Puthrarthi labhathe puthran,
Moksharthi labhathe gatheem.

One who pursues education will get knowledge,
One who wants to earn money will get money,
One who wishes for a son, will get a son,
And one who wants salvation will get salvation.

Japeth Ganapathi sthothram,
Shadbhir masai phalam labeth,
Samvatsarena sidhim cha,
Labhathe nathra samsaya.

Results of chanting this prayer,
Of Ganapthi will be got within six months,
And within a year, he would get all wishes fulfilled,
And there is no doubt about this.

Ashtanam Brahmanam cha Likihithwa ya samarpoayeth,
Thasya Vidhya bhaveth sarvaa ganeshasya prasadatha.

One who gets this prayer,
Written by Eight Brahmanas,
And offers it to Lord Ganesha,
Will become knowledgable,
And would be blessed with all stellar qualities,
By the grace of Lord Shri Ganesha.

Ithi Sri Narada Purane Samkashta nasanam Ganapathi stotram Sampoornam.

Thus ends the prayer from Narada Purana to shri Ganesha which would destroy all sorrows
