Ganesh Mantra

September 14, 2020

Ganesh Mantras are siddhi mantras. Each mantra contains certain specific power of Lord Ganesh. When chanted with the proper pranayama rhythmic breathing, and sincere devotion, they will yield good results. In general, Ganesh mantras will ward off all evil and bless the devotee with abundance and success. Evil spirits won’t dare enter the house or the mind of the devotee who recites Ganesh Mantras.

One should bathe or wash limbs before sitting for the repetition of the mantras. Also, one should do three or more pranayama before beginning the mantra. The minimum repetition of the mantra should be one full mala or 108 times. When this is done at a fixed hour and place regularly for 48 days, it becomes an Upasana, which means an intense meditation, which will yield siddhis or spiritual powers.
