Ganesh Mantras for the New Year
Join us for this powerful sacred mantra workshop and ignite the power of mantra, to invoke the energy of unification, Ganesh/Ganapati, to remove obstacles in the New Year.
For any new endeavor, it is tradition in India, that before undertaking any new endeavor such as starting a business, studies, marriage, moving into a new home, or traveling, that a puja to Sri Ganesh is undertaken to ensure success.
Why is this so? Because the principle of unification brings success. The mantras to Sri Ganesh activate this principle in the subtle anatomy and the environment, and thus, with this energy present, obstacles can be removed to success.
Four Ganesh mantras will presented, explained, and practiced in individual and group recitation. The first mantra is the most commonly invoked Ganesh Mantra. The second mantra has the addition of a poweful Bija mantra associated with Ganapati, the remover of obstacles. The third mantra is a Ganesh/Lakshmi mantra for prosperity and the fourth mantra will be a Ganesh mantra used to destroy negativity.
