Aum Sri Ganesaya Namah
Aum Sri Maha Ganapathiyae Namah

Aum gam ganapataye namah

This is a mantra from Ganapati Upanishad. One may always use it before beginning a
journey, a new course in school, new career or job, or before entering into any new
contract or business so that impediments are removed and your endeavor may be
crowned with success.

Aum shri ganeshaya namah

This mantra is usually taught to children for their good education. It increases
their memory power, and they become successful in their examinations. Of course,
people of any age may use this mantra when taking courses in a school or
university, and for success in attaining their degree.

Aum vakratundaya hum

This is a very powerful mantra, as discussed in the Ganesha Purana. When something
is not working properly, individually or universally, nationally or
internationally, or when the minds of the people turn crooked, negative, depressed
or discouraged, the attention of Ganesha may be drawn by this mantra to straighten
their ways. The HUM symbolizes "Delay no more, my Lord, in straightening the paths
of the crooked-minded ones." This mantra is used many times in the Ganesha Purana
to curb the atrocities of cruel demons. In addition, this mantra could also be used
for healing any spinal deficiency, such as curvature of the spine or curved limbs.
Dedicate 1,008 repetitions of this holy word to straighten and heal such
deficiencies.

Aum kshipra prasadaya namah

Kshipra means instantaneous. If some danger or negative energy is coming your way
and you don't know how to get rid of that trouble, with true devotion, practice
this mantra for quick blessing and purification of one's aura.

Aum shrim hrim klim glaum gam

ganapataye vara varada sarva
janamme vashamanaya svaha
There are several bija (seed) mantras in this mantra . Among other things, it
signals, "Shower Your blessings, O Lord. I offer my ego as an oblation."

Aum sumukhaya namah

This mantra has a lot of meaning, but to make it simple, it means you will be
always very beautiful in soul, in spirit, in face, everything. By meditating on
this mantra, very pleasing manners and a beauty comes on you. Along with that comes
peace, which constantly dances in your eyes; and the words you speak are all filled
with that power of love.

Aum ekadantaya namah

Ekadanta refers to one tusk in the elephant face, which means God broke the duality
and made you to have a one-pointed mind. Whoever has that oneness of mind and
single-minded devotion will achieve everything.

Aum kapilaya namah

Kapila (red) means that you are able to give color therapy. You are able to create
colors around yourself and around others, bathe them in that color and heal them.
As per the mantra you create, so will you create the colors. Another meaning is
"wish cow," the "cow of plenty." It means that whatever you wish, that comes true.
There is a wish-cow inside you. Whatever you wish, especially for healing others,
comes true immediately.

Aum gajakarnikaya namah

The ears of Ganesha, the elephant, are constant fanning, which means people may
talk a lot, but you are not receiving inside anything other than that which is
important. It also means that you can sit anywhere and tune this cosmic television
(the body) with seven channels (chakras) and all 72,000 nadis, to any loka and be
able to hear ancestors, angels, the voice of God or the voice of prophets. That
kind of inner ear you will develop through this mantra.

Aum lambodaraya namah

This means you feel that you are this universe. It means that all the universes are
within you. Like an entire tree is in the seed, the whole universe is in the sound
of creation, which is Aum, and that Aum consciousness in you makes you feel that
you are the universe. Therefore, if you say, realizing the oneness with the
universe, "shanti to the world" every day, then the grace of God will come and
there will be world peace, universal peace. It is the universes within Aum and Aum
within you.

Aum vikataya namah

This means realizing this world as a dream or a drama. When you are in that high
consciousness, this whole world looks like a dream. All of us have taken a role. We
have to play our role in life as wife or husband or children or citizens, all
consistent with the role we have taken. When an actor bitten by a sponge cobra that
is brought on the stage falls, the entire audience cries; but that boy who has
fallen knows it was not a real cobra and he is not dead. Life is a drama --
definitely life in this material world, this physical world of ego, is a drama. But
inside, like the boy on the stage who is quite happy knowing that he didn't die by
the bite of the sponge cobra, like that, the truth never dies in us; it is
immortal. So everything else you consider as drama. That consciousness comes to you
by knowing this mantra.

Aum vighna nashanaya namah

This mantra invokes the Lord Ganesha to remove every impediment in your life and in
your works. By constant meditation on this mantra, all obstacles and blocked energy
in your physical and astral bodies are released.
Aum vinayakaya namah
Vinayaka is the name of Ganesha in the golden age. So by realizing this mantra,
your life will have a golden age. In your office, in your work, you'll be the boss.
Vinayaka means something under control. Vinayaka means the Lord of problems.

Aum dhumraketuve namah

Halley's Comet is called Dhumraketu in the Vedas. Whenever Halley's Comet appears,
on the whole planet Earth, and in other places also, there will be fear and terror.
The guiding masters and those who have the wisdom to face it will all withdraw to
the higher worlds. Important people die during that time, and bloodshed and various
other problems come. To overcome that, it's important for us to remember this
mantra for world peace.

Aum ganadhyakshaya namah

This mantra is so important. Suppose you have a group, a country, neighbors, or any
kind of group therapy, group healing or a whole country needing healing, then you
have to bring that entire group to your mind's arena and say this mantra. A group
healing takes place by this mantra.

Aum bhalachandraya namah

In Sanskrit, bhala means the forehead center. Chandra means the crescent moon.
Bhalachandra means that chakra from where the nectar drips. That is the secret of
all healing. It is to feel yourself as Siva, identifying yourself with the Truth
and feeling constantly that you are carrying the crescent moon, the symbol of
growth and nectar and peace.
