Ganesh Mantra
Lord Ganesha , son
of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, is worshipped by Hindus as the god of
beginnings, knowledge, wisdom, intellect and remover of obstacles. One always
starts any prayer, ritual or occasion by worshipping the Beloved Elephant God.
Lord Ganesh blessings are also sought before starting any new venture. Lord
Ganesha is also referred to as Ganapati, Gajanana, Vinayaka, Vighneshawar and
Pillaiyar.
One of my favourite Prayers of Shri
Ganesha is
"Vakratunda
Mahaakaaya Suryakotee Sama Prabha
Nirvighnam kuru mey Deva
Sarva kaaryeshu Sarvadaa"
Meaning
O Lord Ganesha who
has a large body, curved trunk and brightness of a million suns, please remove
all obstacles in my work always.
Ganesha Mantras are full of energy and power of Lord
Ganesha and these mantras when chanted with genuine devotion removes obstacles
and troubles in life and blesses with success and prosperity. Ganesh Mantras are
also referred to as Siddhi Mantras and can remove depression, confusion,
jealousy and fear from our minds.
