Another Ganesha Mantra

Dear reader, thank you once more for being here to learn a new mantra.

I want to take opportunity to talk a little bit more about Ganesha.

He is the son of Shiva and spouse Parvati. Shiva, along with Brahma and Vishnu is part of the masculine trinity of the Hindu pantheon.

The Scriptures tell us that from the powerful union of Shiva with his Shakti Parvati, in the total merge of masculine and feminine, the world was created. From this union Ganesha was born, and for this reason he is closely related to the Sanskrit symbol OM, which represents the creation of the Universe.

Ganesha has a brother named Subramanya, whose main attribute is that off good luck. Ganesha is normally depicted sitting in a throne with a bowl of swits in one hand, as a sign of abundance. On his other hands he carries weapons to destroy ignorance. His vehicle is a rat, and he is normally sitting on top of it, smashing it. The rat represents and the ego, therefore he helps us smash our ego.

Ganesha is a masculine deity, but has no Sprouse like the other gods. Nevertheless, the Scriptures mention to spouses of Ganesha, which in reality are two attributes:

Siddhi: The magical powers attributed by each one of his mantras.

Buddhi: The knowledge to obtain these powers.

The magical power of this particular month ago that will learn in today, is of concentration: in our studies, work, or any thing we put our mind to.

The Mantra is:

OM SRI GANESHAYA NAMAHA

OM                       Sanskrit symbol representing the creation of the Universe

SRI                       Title of reverence

GANESHAYA    Name of the deity with the masculine suffix

NAMAHA           I salute and honor you

For the correct pronunciation of this mantr, please check my Youtube Video, where I chant it 108 times.

Toworrow we will learn the foundation mantra to Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance!
