Om Jai Sai Raam,

Hope this will give some clarity:

 

Ganesha Upanishad

Auspiciousness to those who hear - thus the Shanti.

1. Om Lam I bow to Ganapati.

2. You clearly are the tattva. You alone are the Creator. You alone are the

Maintainer. You alone are the Destroyer. Of all this you certainly are

Brahma. You plainly are the Essence.

3. Always I speak amrita. The truth I speak.

4. Protect me. Protect the speakers. Protect the hearers. Protect the

givers. Protect the holders. Protect the disciple that repeats. Protect that

in the East. Protect that in the South. Protect that in the West. Protect

that in the North. Protect that above. Protect that below. Everywhere

protect! Protect me everywhere!

5. You are speech. You are consciousness. You are Bliss. You are Brahma. You

are Being-Consciousness-Bliss. You are the Non-Dual. You are plainly Brahma.

You are knowledge. You are Intelligence.

6. You create all this world. You maintain all this world. All this world is

seen in you. You are Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Aether. You are beyond the

four measures of speech. You are beyond the three Gunas. You are beyond the

three bodies. You are beyond the three times. You are always situated in the

Muladhara. You are the Being of the three Shaktis. You are always meditated

on by Yogins. You are Brahma, You are Vishnu, You are Rudra, You are Agni,

You are Vayu, You are the Sun, You are the Moon, You are Brahma,

Bhur-Bhuvah-Svar.

7. 'Ga' the first syllable, after that the first letter, beyond that 'm',

then the half-moon all together. Joined with 'Om', this is the mantra form.

8. Letter Ga the first form, letter a the middle form, m the last form.

Bindu the higher form, Nada the joining together, Samhita the junction. This

is the vidya of Lord Ganesha.

9. Ganaka is the seer, Nricad-Gayatri the metre, Sri Mahaganapati the god.

"Om Ganapataye Namah."

10. Let us think of the one-toothed, let us meditate on the crooked trunk,

may that tusk direct us.

11. One tusk, for arms, carrying noose and goad, with His hands dispelling

fear and granting boons, with a mouse as His banner.

12. Red, with a big belly, with ears like winnowing baskets, wearing red,

with limbs smeared with red scent, truly worshipped with red flowers.

13. To the devoted a merciful Deva, the Maker of the World, the Prime Cause,

who at the beginning of creation was greater than nature and man.

14. He who always meditates thus is a yogin above yogins.

15. Hail to the Lord of Vows, hail to Ganapati, hail to the First Lord, hail

unto you, to the Big-bellied, One-Tusked, Obstacle-Destroyer, the Son of

Shiva, to the Boon-Giver, hail, hail!

16. He who studies this Atharva Shira moves towards Brahma. He is always

blissful. He is not bound by any obstacles. He is liberated from the five

greater and the five lesser sins. Evening meditation destroys the

unmeritorious actions of the night. At both evening and morning he is

liberated from the bad and he attains Dharma-Artha-Kama and Moksha.

17. This Artharva Shira should not be given to those not pupils. If from

delusion a person so gives, he is a bad person.

18. He who wants something may accomplish it by 1000 recitations of this. He

who sprinkles Ganapati with this becomes eloquent. He who recites this on a

4th day becomes a knower of Vidya. This an Artharva saying "He who moves

towards Brahma Vidya is never afraid." He who worships with fried grains

becomes famous and becomes intelligent. He who worships with sweet-meat

(modaka) gains the desired fruit. He who worships with samit and ghee by him

all is attained, all is gained by him. He who makes eight Brahmanas

understand this becomes like the sun's rays. In a solar eclipse, in a great

river, or in front of an image having recited (this) he gets accomplished in

the mantra. He becomes liberated from great obstacles. He is freed from

great misfortunes.
