Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha with new yoga instructors from Bochum

from Mantra, Kirtan and Stotra: Sanskrit Chants · host Sukadev Bretz - Joy and Inspiration through Mantra Chanting

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha Avahana mantras begin with “Om Gam Ganapataye Namah” and are invocation mantras. Avahana mantras are used to invoke certain aspects of God before doing something. Avahana is, for example, an important part of puja, the Hindu ritual of worshiping gods, or religious rituals in general. However, Avahana mantras are also part of everything one can do in yoga. And it is good practice to invoke divine energy before starting anything. The chanted text Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha Spiritual translation Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha Oh Ganesha, remove all obstacles so that we may begin with great joy. I bow to the lotus feet of Ganesha, who removes all obstacles. He is the son of Uma, destroys all worries, and has a retinue of Bhuta Ganas (angels). He has an elephant head and loves Kapittha and Jambu fruits. Further information can be found in the online Yoga Vidya Kirtan booklet at number 612.
