Sri Ganesh Chaturthi

[Guest guest]

Srigurubhyo NamaH

Namaste Sadhakas,

 

 

 

On the occasion of Sri Ganesh Chaturthi, let us delight upon this

verse on the Lord in the Sarva-vedAnta-siddhAnta-sAra-sangrahaH (The

Quintessence of Vedanta):

 

YadAlambo daram hanti satAm pratyUha-sambhavam

tadAlambe dayAlambam lambOdara-padAmbujam (3)

 

I take refuge in the Lotus Feet of Lord Vinaayaka, the abode of

compassion, the refuge that wards off the fear caused by obstacles in

the mind of the Holy.

The verse is so sweet even to recite it.

 

 

Here are some songs that can be heard online:

Pranams subbu-ji and respected vedantins,

 

Greetings on the wonderful occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi.

May He remove the obstacles of ignorance from our minds and give us

the siddhi of jnanam ere long!

After Describing the Characteristics & Cosmic Attributes Of Lord

Ganesha, Atharvan Rishi Gives us the Sacred "GANESH VIDYA" i.e. the

Mantra which Reveals the Sacred Form of Lord Ganesh.

(The Letter "GA" is to be enunciated, following by "NA" This one word

Mantra is then Potentiated with the "PRANAVAOM". This is Sacred

Mantra. (In order to make it Simpler, Atharvan Rishi Present the above

easier FASHION, Remember that Knowledge was transmitted orally in

those days.) "GA" is the first part, "Na" is the middle & end "UM"

formed by the bindu is conjoined with the foregoing & all of them form

the Sacred word. This Mantra if pronounced properly, has the power of

revaling The Divine Lord Ganesh, The sage who receives the Mantra is

Ganaka & the Metre is "NICHRAT GAYATRI" The Diety is Ganapati. || Om

'GANG' Ganapati My salutation to you || 7 ||

Saying Thus, The Devotees should bow to the Lord.

 

|| Ek Dantaya Vid Mahe vakra Tundaya Dhimahi || Tanno danti

Prachodayat || 8 ||

(Mediate on the single Tusked Lord, with bent Trunk || May He Grant

Knowledge & Inspire me ||

This is the Ganesh "Gayatri", Which is Self Sufficient).

 

|| Ek Dantam Chatur Hastam Pashmam Kusha Dharinam || Radamch Vardam

Hastair Bhi Bhranum Mushaka Dhvajam || Raktam Gandhanu Liptangam Rakta

Pushpaihi saupujitam || Bhaktanu Kampinam Devam Jagat Karnam Achutam

|| Avir Bhutam Cha Shrasta Yadao, Prakruthe Purushat Param || Evam

Dhayayati Yo Nityam, Sa Yogi Yoginam Varah || 9 ||

The "SAGUNA" Form of Lord Ganesha is presented in the above Shloka

I salute the Lord with 1 tusk (Right side) Who has 4 hands; Upper

Right carrying binding rope; Upper left hoalding goad; lower left

carrying Broken tusk & the lower right blesses us, the mouse on his

banner is also his vehicle || He is blood red in colour; Pot-Bellied;

He has elephant ears & wears red clothes || He is smeared with red

sandalwood & decorated with red flowers || He is eternally blessings

his devotees & was existing before Cosmos || He is beyond "PRAKRITI" &

"PURUSHA" & is ever creating universes || One who meditates on him

constantly, is a Supreme Yogi || 9 ||

 

|| Namo Vrat Pataye, Namo Ganapataye || Namo Pratham patye, Namste Stu

Lambodaraya Ekdantaya, Vighna Nashine Shiv Sutaya, Sri Varad Murtiye

Namo Namah || 10 ||

(Salutations to you Lord of all Deities, Ganas & all beings ||

(Salutations To) The Post-Bellied one with 1 Tusk who destroys all

obstacles, son if Shiva The Divine Lord who grants, Boons (We bow to

you) Taking your name || 10 ||
