Our scriptures say Mananāt trāyatē iti mantrah. Continuous repetition (Mananāt) of that which protects (trāyatē) from suffering is called mantra.

When we lose ourselves in chanting mantras, something magical happens. Breath becomes deeper and our focus starts to shift.
1/n

The energy of the mantra begins to engage with our soul. The Sanskrit syllables become sparkling waves in sunlight and bathe us with joy, hope and purification.
2/n

Starting today, we bring you the essential mantras that have been practiced and awakened by the ancient sages of India. Apart from healing and protection, these mantras bring material and spiritual abundance.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namah!
3/n

Sri Ganesha is the presiding deity of the Ganapatya tradition, just as Devi is for Shakta and Sri Vishnu for Vaishnava tradition. Across all traditions, though, Sri Ganesha is always worshipped at the beginning of a ritual.
4/n

In Ganesha Purana, there is a story of Lord Shiva who wanted to destroy Tripurāsura - a demon who had three flying cities but could not succeed even after enormous efforts.
5/n

Lord Shiva then meditated on his own son, Sri Ganesha. Lord Ganesha appeared before Shiva in his five-faced form and helped him win the battle.
6/n

Sri Ganesha represents supreme intellect and wisdom. If we invoke Him with the mantra, chances are He will clear our confusions and guide us to make correct decisions.

This mantra is the root mantra of Sri Ganesha and was first mentioned in Ganapati Atharvashirsha.
7/n

It was awakened by Atharva Rishi after he had a vision of Sri Ganesha.

The mantra translates to "O Sri Ganesh! We honour you and invite your power into our life."
8/n

Reciting the Ganesha mantra helps us in improving our mental and emotional state and helps us bond with the supreme intelligence of Sri Ganesha.

Spending 14 years in forest, sleeping on floors and eating raw fruits - this was the beautiful prince of Ayodhya, Sri Rama who left everything to fulfil the words of His father. Image
1/n

Sri Rama is one of the most loved deities and His mantra is also one of the most universal of all mantras in Sanatana Dharma.
2/n

The Rama mantra symbolises an unceasing, perpetual joy. While pleasure and happiness has its ups and downs, joy stays with you, even increasing with the passage of time.

Mind is regarded as the ‘Advaita Shakti’. It holds the key to either set us on a path of glory; or set us on a path of dishonour. Image
1/n

In Srimad Bhagawad Gita, Sri Krishna says that we are responsible for our own ascend to a higher siddhi, and the fall as well. It depends on the path we choose.
2/n

The path of Dharma will lead us to a deeper connection within; and the path of ‘Trishna’ (insatiable desire) will lead us to vanity.
