"GRACE OF LORD GANESH

 

Daily five times I used to chant the Sankatnaashak Ganesh Stotra (

special hymn of Lord Ganesh) that once appeared in the magazine. Due

to the power of the hymn one night in a dream I saw myself chanting

the Mantra Om seated before the picture of Goddess Durga. Suddenly a

bright light appeared out of the picture. I became filled with

immense peace. Then again I started to chant the Mantra. Next, Lord

Ganesh appeared from the picture of the Goddess. I said to him - O

Lord! I feel inferior before others. I get nervous when I talk to

other people. Lord Ganesh said - This is because of the evil effect

of the planets Rahu and Ketu in your life. You should try some

Sadhana.

 

I realised from my experience that a Stotra or a hymn is a powerful

medium of appeasing the related God or Goddess. I like all the

articles and hymns that appear in the magazine.

 

I obtained Guru Diksha on the Sanyaas Day in Raipur. One day before

Diksha I saw Sadgurudev Dr.Narayan Dutt Shrimali in a dream. I was

praying to Him and chanting Om Ayeim Gurubhyo Namah. Gurudev was

laughing.

 

I have also realised that success in all Sadhanas is possible only

through the grace of the Guru.

This ode which has eight couplets is composed by the great seer

Narad, in honor of

Lord Ganesha (i.e. Gauriputra, the Son of Gauri; another epithet is

Vinayaka). The

first 4 couplets mention the 12 epithets of Lord Ganesha and the rest

point out the benefits that a devotee may enjoy if he/she recites

this ode three times in a day,

every day. The epithets as they are enumerated are : (1) Vakratunda

(2) Ekdanta

(3) Krishnapingaksha (4) Gajavaktra (5) Lambodara (6) Vikat (7)

Vignharajendra

(8) Dhoomravarna (9) Bhalchandra (10) Vinayaka (11) Ganapati (12)

It is believed that Lord Ganesha fulfills all the healthy longings of

His devotee. No calamity would befall His devotee. The seeker of

knowledge will get all knowledge. One desirous of earning wealth will

surely get it. A person will be blessed with a son, and one who seeks

salvation (i. e. Moksha - freedom from a continuous cycle of birth

and death) will get it. Such a seeker will find fruition of his/her

desires in six months and verily all the benefits in a year. One who

writes this ode and submits it to eight seekers of knowledge will get

all knowledge with the grace of Lord Ganesha.
