I'm a little confused about the Ganesha Atharvashirsha

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am a little confused about multiple chantings of the Ganesha

Atharvashirsha. I have seen it in multiple places as having 10

verses and then sometimes there is an additional 5 verse part, which

I have seen called "Falshruti" which extols the importance of

chanting it. It appears that ours is this same way. So do you chant

the 10 verses over and over in a sitting and then chant the remaining

5 verses once at the end, or just do all 15 the whole time?

Obviously just the 10 is easier and I found an online rendition of

it, which gave me a rhythm and melody to chant by. This made it

much, much easier.

 

Please let me know as time is running out and I want to help the group

sankalpa. I did one full one yesterday but want to do many more.

 

Pranams,

 

Surya

Hi Surya,

I hear you - it would make it a lot easier to chant the first 10 as

many times as we want and the phalshruti just once. I have been

chanting the entire 15 verses as many times as possible. I know that

this is how it is done at the Mandir too.

 

However I will pass on your question to Swamiji and inform ASAP.

Look forward to you chanting more with the group, I have already added

the one recitation to your name.

Jai Maa

And actually, though I am curious about Swamiji's comments for future

use, if this is how it is done at the Mandir, then that is good

enough for me for this sankalpa.

Hey guys! just wanted to let you know that Ganesh Atharvashirsha is a vedic prayer...to chant vedic mantras you must have a Janeo (sacred thread ceremony) once this ceremony is complete you will be initiated into a gaytri mantra by the priest...once you have that you will be able to chant Vedic Mantras....if you do not have a Janeo you can chant the puranic versions instead until you obtain thethread.

 

For example, Om Triumbakam Yaja Mehe Sujandith Pushti Vardanam, Urva Ruk Niva Vandana Mrityo Mukhsiyamaruthat is a Vedic version of the Maha Mritunjaya Mantra (which shud only be chanted if you have a Janeo)

 

if your waiting for a janeo you shud use the puranic version of the mritunjaya mantra which is "Mritunjaya mahadev trayimam sharanagatham, janma mritu jararogeh perikum karama bandaneh"

 

Good Luck

Jai Mataji
