After Describing the Characteristics & Cosmic Attributes Of Lord

Ganesha, Atharvan Rishi Gives us the Sacred " GANESH VIDYA " i.e. the

Mantra which Reveals the Sacred Form of Lord Ganesh. The Letter " GA "

is to be enunciated, following by " NA " This one word Mantra is then

Potentiated with the " PRANAVA " " OM " . This is Sacred Mantra. (In

order to make it Simpler, Atharvan Rishi Present the above easier

FASHION, Remember that Knowledge was transmitted orally in those

days.)

" GA " is the first part, " Na " is the middle & end " UM " formed by the

bindu is conjoined with the foregoing & all of them form the Sacred

word. This Mantra if pronounced properly, has the power of revaling

The Divine Lord Ganesh, The sage who receives the Mantra is Ganaka &

the Metre is " NICHRAT GAYATRI " The Diety is Ganapati. Om 'GANG'

Ganapati My salutation to you || 7 ||

Saying Thus, The Devotees should bow to the Lord.
