Namaste Kalipadma!

i highly recommend Swamiji's book, "Ganesha Puja"

[Ganesh Puja contains forms of Vedic, Puranic and modern worship. It

is full and complete, and its recitation fills the worshipper with

the bhava of Ganesha.]It definitely has the Atha Ganeshatharvasirsham

in easy to read transliteration, along with a beautiful translation

in Swamiji's glorious style. It is a very wonderful little book.

Here is the link:

As far as a recording of the melody, i am having brain freeze; maybe

someone could help Kalipadma in regards to that question.

Jai Ganesha! Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrishna Deva!

muktimaa
