Lesson 5 Shri Ganesha Puja (Part 11 The Shri Ganesha Upanishad, the most powerful of Shri Ganesha mantra's all that is Ganesh, is within the Shri Ganesha Upanishad)

Shri Ganesha Upanishad

This is probably the most important set of mantra’s concerning Lord Ganesh and is a powerful invocation and expounds his nature and his powers!  Which is something you embody and will awaken and activate, as you proceed upon the  Shri Shiva Shaktipath tantra of Ganesh!  Although you can, effectively recite this in English.  I highly recommend that you learn to recite it in Sanskrit as the benefits will be greater!
