Shree Ganesha Mantras
Ganesha mantras are siddhi mantras. Each mantra contains
certain specific powers of Lord Ganesha. When chanted
with the proper pranayama (rhythmic breathing) and sincere
devotion, they will yield good results. In general, Ganesha
mantras will ward off all evil and bless the devotee with
abundance, prudence and success. Evil spirits dare not
enter the home or the mind of the devotee where Ganesha
mantras are recited. Some such mantras are given below
for the spiritual benefit of the readers. One more point
to remember is that one should bathe or wash the limbs
before sitting for repetition of the mantra. Also, one
should do three or more pranayama before beginning the
mantra. The minimum repetition of the mantra should be
one full rosary or 108 times. When this is done at a rigid
hour and place regularly for 48 days. it becomes an "upaasana"
which means intense meditation which will yield siddhi
or spiritual powers. The warning given is that one should
use those powers only for healing the sick and other such
selfless actions for the benefit of mankind. These powers
should not be misused. Misuse of power may bring the curse
of the deity.
