Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 One last thought on Sri Ganesha... tomorrow the 30th is Haran Sri Ganesh Chaturthi or Day of Sri Ganesha ( 4th Tithi or chaturthi of the wanning moon)..and on the 13th of September Ganesha's birthday for Maha Ganapati. The MahaGanapathi Mantra is : Om Srim Hrim Klim Glaum Gam Ganapataayei Vara Varada Sarva Janam Me Vasaa-manaya Swaha. For those that have interest in the mantra and wish to pronounce it correctly - consider a book and tape by Thomas Ashley Farrand http://www.sanskritmantra.com/ Santi, Frank * fschmidt gjlist-request [gjlist-request]On Behalf Of fls Sunday, August 29, 1999 11:51 AM Sanjay Rath; Patrice Curry; SJVC; GJLIST RE:Ganesha and Rg Veda Hymm to HIM Om Namaste Ganapataye... for the interpretation "GANANAAM TWA GANAPATIM HAVAMAHEY KAVIM KAVINAMUPAVASRAVASTAMUM; JYESTHARAJAM BRAHMANAAM BRAHMANASPATA AA NAH SRUNAVANNUTIBHIH SIDDA SADANAM" it says: We invoke Thee, Chief amongst all assemblages Lord of all, Of wise ones, the wisest, incomparable in name and fame, Eldest prince, prime principle of all prayers, Hear us Lord, pray be seated bless us in our abode.

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.

Was this the old system, and why the change? Best Regards, bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
