19 Ganesha Veda Mantras For All Occasions

Ganapati Upanishad speaks of Lord Ganesha.

He is the Remover of Obstacles, both material and Spiritual.

Sage Avvaiyar composed Pillayay Akaval, which is a highly developed system of Yoga Siddhanta.

I am posting very important Ganapathy Mantras from the Vedas for all to suit all occasions and needs.

Shiva Samhita Treatise On Yoga

Shiva Samhita is one of those rare treatises about which, as usual in Hinduism,we know very little.

This esoteric work is about the Hatha Yoga, and along with Gheranda Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika, forms the three important sources of Hatha Yoga.

This is work on Tantra Shastra.

The authorship and date are unknown.

Some ascribe this to the Seventeenth Century.

Shiva Samhita talks about the complex physiology, names 84 different asanas (only four of which are described in detail), describes five specific types of prana, and provides techniques to regulate them.
