Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Remember – chanting is a yogic PRACTICE! Don’t just listen – sing along!

Om: The primordial sound of the universe.
Gam: is the sound of Ganesha.
Ganapataye: Another name for Ganesha.
Nahama: I bow to you.

Ganesh is the beloved, elephant-headed Hindu deity associated with the successful removal of obstacles. This mantra is invaluable if you’re stuck in a rut, starting a new project or adventure, or in need of a little assistance breaking through obstacles.

Ganesh is associated with the Muladhara or “root” chakra at the base of the spine – associated with the earth and your physical body. The root chakra is all about stability, and if it’s blocked or misaligned – the negative consequences are felt throughout every aspect of your life.

I love to chant this mantra in the morning on the way to work. Chant with me!
