Lesson 3

LESSON 3 (Shri Ganesha Araati with Sanskrit pronunciation)

I recomend that you perform the English version from Lesson 2 a few times to where you are pretty comfortable performing the ritual before moving on to this lesson. I would also recomend that you start out small as in using some english chants and some sanskrit and add more and more till you are performing the entire ritual using sanskrit pronunciation! once you have it down I would perform the ritual for a consistant 48 days not only to assist in gaining siddhi of Lord Ganesh but to also familiarize yourself with sanskrit pronunciation!

::Ganesh Mantras and Jappa instructions::
the first one is the most simple and a single syllable
it is Ganesh’s Bija Mantra “GAM” pronounced Gum
like chewing gum we recommend u begin chanting
this mantra first 108 times each day for atleast 40 days
and then move on to his main mantra...the Next Mantra
 is Ganesh’s main Mantra it is:
 “AUM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAH “
pronounced Om gum gawn a pot eye yay na ma...this
is a most powerful mantra and will ensure the blessings
of Lord Ganesh. he is the lord of obstacles, the lord of
education, the gate keeper! He will bring with him
blessings of Good Fortune, Good luck And Success!!

::how to chant::
for best results we recommend you sit down at a quite
time in a quiet place facing west it does not matter how
you sit as long as you are comfortable and relaxed. with
your eyes closed and holding the mala in your right hand
as in the picture, in between your
thumb and middle finger. say the
mantra for each bead on the mala
while pulling the beads toward
yourself and down starting with
the first bead just after the guru
bead and stop just before the guru
bead, do not count the guru bead....for a total of 108 chants
you may chant the mantra out loud or quietly in your mind.
try to pick a time during the day at which you can do this
activity at the same time each day......May the blessings
of Lord Ganesh be upon you!!
Waveing of the Light:
chant the following mantra 3 times while waveing the main Dipa or Araati Lamp infront of the deity in a circular pattern going clockwise:

Om Ekadantaya Vidmahe
Vakratundaya Dhimahi
Tanno Dantih Pracodayaat
(OM EH KAW DAWN TIE YA VEED MA HAY
