Mantras to Speak while burning candle:
Vakratunda Maha-Kaaya Surya-Kotti Samaprabha Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvadaa
“Oh god with curved trunk, large body whose aura is like light of crores of sun, Please make my entire work obstacle free, forever.”
“Aum Ekadantaya Viddhamahe, Vakratundaya Dhimahi, Tanno Danti Prachodayat॥”
“We pray to the one with the single-tusked elephant tooth who is omnipresent. We meditate upon and pray for greater intellect to the Lord with the curved, elephant-shaped trunk. We bow before the one with the single-tusked elephant tooth to illuminate our minds with wisdom.”
“Om Gam Ganpataye Namah”
It means bowing down to the Almighty Ganpati with all our existence and accepting all his great qualities in our self being.
It wards off all the negativities from one’s life before beginning any work. Chanting of this mantra ensures success in all the new ventures that one wishes to undertake.
“Om Ganadhyakhsaya Namah”
Ganadhyaksay – Gana means ‘a group’ and ‘Adhyaksh’ means ‘one who is leader of the group’.
One can use this Mantra to ensure the well being of a particular state or a city. One can even chant this Mantra to improve or build upon one’s personal leadership characteristics.
“Om Gajananaya Namah”
Gajanan here means One who carries the elephant head. In Sanskrit, gaj means elephant. This Mantra says that if God can carry the elephant’s head to survive and fulfill his duties, even we should put aside our ego and live our lives dutifully.
This Mantra motivates such humble living and chanting of it helps one attain his/her inner peace and consciousness.
”Om Vignanaashnay Namah”
Ganpati is also worshiped to remove obstacles from one’s life. Here vigna means obstacles and nashnay means One who removes obstacles.
If one is facing problems with his social life, at work or with interpersonal relationships, it can be made easier by chanting this mantra.
“Om Lambodaraya Namah”
Ganesha is known to love his food, and has a big, round belly. ‘Lambodar’ thus refers to him as a God who has a big belly.
Chanting this mantra allows an individual to love and be one with the whole universe, just like Lord Ganpati.
“Om Sumukhaya Namah”
Sumukh means ‘One with a pleasing face’. Lord Ganesha lost his head, and replaced it with that of an elephant’s. However, his good spirit and pure soul shone through even on his elephant face, and this made him look beautiful and calm.
This Mantra allows one to look past one’s shortcomings, identify and improve upon one’s inner beauty.
“Om Gajkarnikaya Namah”
Gaj means Elephant and Karnikay means ears. With the elephant’s head and elephant ears, Ganesh was unable to listen to everything from all sources.
This Mantra allows us to be just like him, and hear and accept only that which is good. Chanting the mantra shields us from external negativity and helps us overcome the stress caused by it.
“Om Vikataya Namah”
Here ‘Vikat’ means ‘difficult’.
The world is full of difficult situations, and often one may find himself disheartened and unable to focus. This Mantra reminds him that his ultimate goal is salvation, and no matter what happens, he should not lose sight of it. This Ganpati Mantra will keep his eyes on this long-term goal and motivate him towards salvation.
”Om Vinayakaya Namah”
‘Vinayaka’ is the name of Ganesha in the golden age. Vinayaka means ‘something under control’ and also means ‘the Lord of resolving problems’.
So by realizing this mantra, one’s life will have a golden age. In one’s office and in his work, he’ll be the boss.
