Lord Ganesha will end “ashta kashtas”, the eight types of hardships, and “ashta daridryas”, the eight types of poverties of all such ardent devotees. Those who worship Lord Sri Ganesha daily twenty seven times with garika grass while chanting the Ganesha Mantra, “Gam,” will receive wealth equivalent to that of Kubera, who is well-known as the Lord of riches. Devotees who worship Lord Sri Ganesha in accordance with vedic principles and vedic rituals will be granted with “vak sakti”, the power to speak divine knowledge, and “kavita sakti”, the power to become a poet and a literary scholar. When, with a particular desire in mind, a devotee chants the Ganesha mantra 1008 times daily, that desire will be readily fulfilled by Lord Ganesha. Lord Sri Ganesha is sure to grace these devotees with true yogitva-the state of union with Universal Consciousness-and bless them with Atma jnana, knowledge of the Self. They are sure to become the most noble paramahamsas. “Evam dhyanti yo nityam sa yogi yoginaam varaha”ĭevotees who worship on the auspicious day of Sri Ganesha Chaturthi, as well as on a daily basis- Lord Sri Ganesha, who is “nasha rahita”, without destruction, who existed even prior to Creation, and who is Para Brahma svarupa, the embodiment of Supreme Consciousness- those who perform Ganesha homa, and those who chant the Ganesha Mantra on a daily basis, all such devotees will verily transform into the most noble and supreme yogis among all yogis. The following is a shloka couplet from Sri Ganesha Upanishad : Anyone sponsoring a homa on this day will experience the benefit of having all “arishtas”, negative influences removed and “divya tejas”, divine effulgence will encircle and illuminate the devotee’s whole body. The day of Sri Ganesha Chaturthi is extremely auspicious. Lord Ganesha removes all of their sorrows and grants them many auspicious benefits. “Vighnas”, obstacles, will not haunt these devotees anymore. The devotee will be liberated from “pancha maha patakas”, five types of the most heinous sins and also from all “upa patakas”, minor sins. When one’s name is recited during the sankalpa before a homa, sacred fire ceremony, the devotee is sure to receive millions of times more powerful and auspicious results. By performing japa, that is, repetition of the mantra “Om Gam Ganapataye namaha” 108 times on a daily basis, the devotee receives one thousand times more immensely auspicious benefits and also fulfillment of all desires. The divine forms and the benefits are:ĭevotees who are unable to worship Lord Ganesha on a daily basis will find the benefits one hundred times more powerful when they worship Lord Ganesha on the day of Ganesha Chaturthi. By performing homa to Lord Ganesha on Ganesha Chaturthi, one obtains various benefits through these divine forms. In this purana it is mentioned that there are many divine forms embedded in the viswa rupa or cosmic form of Lord Ganesha. One can find a great amount of salient information about Lord Ganesha in the Mudgala Purana. Lord Ganesha confers supreme protection for all those that worship him. However, one can remove all of these negativities and obtain auspicious benefits by worshipping Lord Ganesha and by chanting the mantra, “Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha,” daily 108 times counting along with a rudraksha mala, a rosary of rudraksha beads. It is a most difficult and herculean task for people to gain control over the ari shadvargas or the six enemies of desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride, and enmity. This means it is only akhanda satyam or the eternal supreme truth, and Para Brahma tejas, the effulgence of the eternal Supreme Consciousness that has assumed the form of Lord Ganesha. ![]()
