Extract: Some Simple Mantras, If You Are Just Starting Out

A Selection from The Ancient Power of Sanskrit Mantra and Ceremony,

Volume I

 

------------------------------

 

Some of you may be interested or even fascinated by the discipline of

mantra, but feel somewhat overwhelmed by the array of mantras and

disciplines, astotaras and pujas you find in these pages. If so, then

this chapter will be of use to you. The next few pages contain some

simple mantras and their common application. They have been compiled

from other chapters throughout the rest of this book, drawn from the

various headings of the deities or principles involved. These mantras

address various life issues which we all face from time to time. If

you want more information or more mantras relating to the deities or

principles involved, consult the appropriate chapter.

 

Ganesha: Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha

Rough Translation: 'Om and salutations to the remover of obstacles

for which Gum is the seed.'

 

The story of Ganesha is found in the chapter devoted to this

principle. But for your immediate need, you need only know that for

seen or unseen obstacles which seem to be standing in the way of your

progress or achievement, either specifically or generally, this

mantra has proved invaluable. It has been used it with great success

not only in India, but here in the West dozens of people have related

to me their success in turning things around in their life by using

this mantra.
