Learn All About The Ganesh Mantra
& How To Make It More Effective
Om Gam Ganpataye Namah : Ganesh Mantra ( also known as Ganpati Mantra )
“Ganesha, that elephant God? Nice!”
I once heard a foreigner say this as he tried to strike up a conversation with the temple pundit of my town. Eavesdropping is rude, but he was so loud that I just couldn’t resist! Yes, Lord Ganesha is the one with the elephant head – one of the most popular and beloved deities of the Hindu Pantheon.
The Puranas (a collection of short Hindu myths) contain the story of how Ganesha got his elephant head. Ganesha is the epitome of obedience. There are several examples of this trait in many stories, and each has a profound moral to it.
Chanting Mantras and invoking any God will give immediate benefits as these prayers are as old as Creation and Consciousness itself.
