    Vishnu blessed Ganesha that at each Puja, Vrata, or any Sacred Deed, the Prathama Puja must be performed to Ganesha only

     

    He was named by Lord Vishnu and He also gave  Hm the Eight names which  we use in Ganesha Puja today.

     

    The first puja, after Ganesha’s new Rupa emerged, was executed by Vishnu and he blessed Ganesha that at each Puja, Vrata, or any Sacred Deed, the Prathama Puja must be performed to Ganesha only and garlanded him with a Vanamaala.

    Vishnu performed the ‘nama karana’ (name giving) in the presence of Devas, Maharshis and Munis; he gave eight names: Vighnesha, Ganesha, Heramba, Gajaanana, Lambodara, Ekadanta, Shurpa-karna and Vinayaka. Devi Parvati made Ganesha sit on a golden chair, gave ‘Padya’with the holy waters of Ganga, Godavari etc.; offered Akshatas, flowers, chandana, Kasturi, Agaru Dhupa, Deepa, and Naivedya with a variety of Bhakshya, Bhojya, Lehya, Choshya and Paniyas, besides a wide range of fruits.

    Tri Murtis and their spouses, Devas and Devis, Menaka and Himalaya had all chanted the Mantra: OM Shreem Hreem Kleem Ganeswaraaya Brahma ruupaaya chaaravey, Sarvasiddhi pradeshaaya Vighneshaaya Namo namah/ Bhagavan Vishnu then recited the Sacred Ganesha Kavacha to Shanaischara as follows:

    ( This ‘Samsaara Mohana Kavacha’s Prajapati is Rishi, Brihati is the Chhanda, Swayam Lambodara Ganesha is Devata; Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha is the ‘Viniyoga’; this entire Kavacha is of great essence: Let the Mantra Om gam hum Shri Ganeshaaya swaaha safeguard my head; the Dwadashokshara Manta save my forehead; let Om Hreem Kleem Shreem Gam protect my netras / eyes; may Vighnesha protect my ear lobes; let the Mantra Om Hreem Shreem Kleem protect my nose; let the Mantra Goum Gam Shurpaanyaya Swaha guard my lips and tongue; let the Mantra Om Lam Shreem Lambodaraaya Swaaha secure my cheeks; may the Mantra Om Kleem Hreem Vighna naashaaya swaaha keep my ears safe; let Om Shreem Gam Gajaananaaya swaahaa secure my shoulders; may the Mantra Om Hreem Vinaayakaaya swaaha guard my rear part of my body; let Om Kleem Hreem protect my ‘kamkaal’/ skeleton and the Mantra Gam save my chest. Let Vighna-nihanta provide safety to my hands, feet and the entire body! May Lambodara save my Eastern side, Vighnanayaka the Agneya side, Vighnesha the Southern side, Gajaanana the Nirruti side, Parvati putra the West, Shankaraatmaja the Vaayavya side, Shri Krishna the North, Ekadanta the Ishaana kona, Heramba the Urthwa bhaga / skyward, and Ganaadhipa the ‘Adhobhaga’ the underground. May the ‘Yogi Guru’ procect my while asleep or awake. This is how I explained the whole ‘Samsara Mohana naama Kavacha’to you Suryanandana Shaneswara. This Kavacha was bestowed to me when I attended the ‘raasa leela’ convention at Goloka and this should be divulged to one and all. If a person wears the Kavacha after Guru Puja, it shall indeed safeguard him or her and bestows the boons of performing thousand Ashwamedha Yagnas and thousand Vaajapeya Yagnaas. The Siddhi of this Kavacha is attainable after hundred lakh japas of it.)

     Special Ganesha Mantras

    Ganesha mantras are siddhi mantras .

    Each mantra contains certain specific powers of Lord Ganesha.

    When chanted with the proper pranayama (rhythmic breathing) and sincere devotion, they will yield good results.

    In general, Ganesha mantras will ward off all evil and bless the devotee with abundance, prudence and success.

    Evil spirits dare not enter the home or the mind of the devotee where Ganesha mantras are recited.

    Those so mystically inclined and knowledgeable of the seven chakras below the muladhara use these powerful incantantions under the direction of the guru to close off these regions of the mind one by one and free consciousness from deep depression, confusion, jealousy, rage, lingering anger and fear. Some such mantras are given below for the spiritual benefit of the readers.

    One more point to remember is that one should bathe or wash the limbs before sitting for repetition of the mantra.

    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 intense meditation, that will yield siddhis, or spiritual powers.

    These powers should not be misused.

    Misuse of power may bring the curse of the asuras.

    4.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.

    5.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.

    6.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.

    7.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.

    8Aum shrim hrim klim glaum gam
    ganapataye vara varada sarva
    janamme vashamanaya svaha

    This is used in Ganapati Homa.

    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.”

    9.Aum sumukhaya namah

    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.

    10.Aum ekadantaya namah

    For Concentration.

    11.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.

    12.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.

    This means you feel that you are this universe.

    It means that all the universes are within you.

    For peace of Mind.
