Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 personally i started with Aum Gam Ganapataye Namah which is pronounced Aum Gung Gana pateyeYay Namah becuase it is considered Ganesha's root mantra. i have never heard of Om gum ganeshaya namaha when ganesha is used i have only seen Aum Sri Ganeshaya namah which is pronounced Aum Shree GanesheyeYa namah here is a link to an online book entitled "Loving Ganesha" which will give you some more insight into our loving lord it also has a chapter on Ganesha Mantras there use, meanings, how and when one should use them I suggest reading the whole book it is very nice reading. well here is the link and i hope this helps Aum Gum Ganapataye Namah! http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/lg/lg_table_of_contents.html Ardanpbfsg <pbfsg > wrote: i am confused with the pronounciation of the word, ganeshaya, in the mantra, om gum ganeshaya namaha. how does one pronounce it? is it pronounced as gah-nay-shah-yah? and one more thing. there are a couple of ganesh mantras out there like om gum ganapataye namaha, om ganeshaya namaha etc but i don't know which one should i chant. are they all the same? the effect etc. http://www.geocities.com/aumganesh/ New and Improved Mail - Send 10MB messages!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Dear Sadhakas, "Om Gung Ganapataye Namah" is the Beej Mantra of Lord Ganesha. Also remember that "Om Gam Ganapataye Namah" is also a Ganesh Mantra. The fruits of both these mantras are different. The "Gung" in the first mantra is to be pronounced as in "Sung". I too havent heard of "Om Gam Ganeshayah Namah". In case you want to start of with mantra shashtra and concentrate on Ganesh Mantras it is always better to start of with Beej Mantra. The Mantra " Om Ganeshayah Namah" is also a mantra used by many sadhakas. Finally you may use any mantra which you feel you are comfortable with and go ahead with it.
