How to Chant महागणपति मूल मंत्र
Instructions
Begin with worship of Ganesha (a lamp, durva grass, modaka or red flowers are auspicious). Chant the mula-mantra 108 times with a mala, pronouncing each bija clearly. As a Tantric mantra it yields best results with initiation (diksha) and steady practice; for general devotion, sincere daily repetition before starting work invokes Ganesha's grace. Conclude by dedicating the merit to the Lord.
Spiritual Significance
Practitioners of Maha Ganapati upasana relate that when this mula-mantra is recited before launching a venture, seemingly immovable obstacles dissolve and unexpected supporters appear — a reflection of the prayer 'sarvajanam me vashamanaya', that all people be rendered favourable to the devotee.
Origin & History
Source: Tantric Ganapati upasana (Mantra Shastra / Agamic tradition)
Author: Unknown (traditional)
Maha Ganapati is the fully-empowered Tantric form of Ganesha worshipped for total success and obstacle-removal. His mula-mantra weaves together the great bijas of prosperity, energy and attraction with his own seed Gam, and seals the prayer with svaha. It is employed in Ganapati homa and upasana to invoke his grace over every endeavour and to secure the goodwill of all beings.
