Guest guest Posted August 28, 1999 Report Share Posted August 28, 1999 Dear Sanjay, >>>1. Worshipping Ganeshji is important so that the negative effect of Sani is not felt in the Pooja and the results are obtained. What Venus and Moon are you chanting? Is this Graha mantra (Vedic) or Tantrik?<<< The mantras I am chanting are Graha mantra (Vedic). I don't know of Tantrik mantras. These were given to me by James Braha following a reading. They are also in his book, "Astro Logos, Revelations of a Hindu Astrologer." With this I was not told anything about worshipping Ganeshji. I have gone to your web site in the past couple of days, Sanjay, and did see that you recommend "Mantras, Words of Power", by Swami Sivananda Radha. I have this book and am half way through it having picked it up about a week ago along with another, "Healing Mantras", by Thomas Ashley-Farrand which I have now read. It's difficult to get direct answers, especially answers one has confidence in, without contact with a Guru. My personal history and experience with mantras is with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It has been a great amount of time since I've seen him. Again, at that time, there was no discussion of worshipping Ganeshji. Many, many great thanks....

Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 JAYA JAYA SRI JAGANNATHA Dear Patrice, Mahesh Yogi Maharaj is among the greatest in Dhyana Yoga and Dharana. At least to my knowledge there are none who can surpass him in this. You have been very fortunate to be tutored by such a divine soul. After interacting over the internet and with others who are not originally from India I realise that we Indians take for granted many things to be to be known to all. Worship of Ganeshji is one such thing. Even in our normal language, when something has been started we say "Jai Ganesh Kar diya" or " I have done Jai Ganesh" which means that we have started the particular work. The significance of the worship of Ganapati is clearly stated in the Rig Veda Hymn " GANANAAM TWA GANAPATIM HAVAMAHEY KAVIM KAVINAMUPAVASRAVASTAMUM; JYESTHARAJAM BRAHMANAAM BRAHMANASPATA AA NAH SRUNAVANNUTIBHIH SIDDA SADANAM. " I have given the translation to this in my book "Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutra ". It means that a mantra should be started with OM (to remove all dosha (errors) in it) and also implies the worship of Sri ganeshji before starting any other Pooja/ Mantra etc. You can simply repeat " OM SRI GANESAYA NAMAH" 21 times before starting other prayers. This is most auspicious.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 Maybe Maharishi's mantras are free from error?
