Introduction
The auspicious day of Vinayaka Chaturthi falls this month and hence the major theme
for this magazine has been devoted to Ganesha related vedic, puranic, and tantric
information. GaNapathi atharvasheersha is a popular Upanishad and is commonly
chanted by many. However, there are several vEdic Upanishads and suktas that deal
with gaNEshA that are true gems but are not widely taught or known. This magazine is
an attempt to bring out some of those gems to the upAsaka community.
The rig vEdiyA gaNapati suktA believed to be one of the first hymns on gaNEshA has
been included along with the swara notations so that those who know to chant mantras
as per rig vEda swaras can be benefited.
VallabhOpanishad has 4 chapters and the first two chapters are devoted to the
explanation of the form of the vallabha gaNapati. The essence of this explanation is
covered in the Ganpathi Meditation guide by Shri AtmAnandanAthA (included in this
issue). The third chapter dwells completely on vallabhEsha mantrAs and some of the
merits of combining the vallabhEsha mantras with the other tantric dieties. Thus, this
chapter is primarily a treatise with manthra uddhAra sholkas. We are pleased to present
this chapter with its uddhAra sholkAs and most importantly, the decoded manthras as
well. As usual, we strongly recommend that the Guru or the seniors within the Guru
maNdalA should be consulted prior to starting the japas of any of these manthras. I
would like to take this opportunity to share my experience when I was performing my
gaNapati mantra japA. My Guru graced me with the GaNapati and BAlA mantras on the
same day and I was chanting the prescribed japa krama for 100 days. I was chanting
mahA gaNapati during the day and bAlA in the evening. After about 2 weeks, while
chanting the dhyAna shlokA of mahA gaNapati, I was unable to bring His form into my
thoughts and a new form with a mix of bAlA and gaNapati would be revealed. In spite of
my concentrated focus, this form would never change and I completed the prescribed
100 day japa krama only with this form in my dhyAnA. On the 100th day, since I knew I
would be completing this japa krama, I wanted to ensure that the form that graced me
does not go away and hence did a pencil sketch of the form the way it appeared to me
along with its energy yantra form. I was very new to this field and had absolutely no idea
about the various forms of gaNEshA at that time. Several years later, when my Guru
asked me to read vallabhOpaniShad, I was shocked to see the form of bAlA gaNapati
mentioned and was overwhelmed with the grace of Guru and the karuNa of
vallabhEshA and bAlAmbA. I have included this pencil sketch in this issue.
GaNEshA is commonly known as tarpaNa priyaH and His tarpaNa counts are 444 and
is collectively called as caturAvarti tarpaNa. While most of us follow the caturAvarti
tarpaNA that involves the mUla mantrAksharA and the AvaraNa dEvatAs, there are
several other types of caturAvarti tarpaNAs for different types of gaNEshAs coded in
tAntric texts. In this issue, we have included an interesting caturAvarti tarpaNA from
ganEsha parmarshiNI that not only contains the akShara and AvaraNa dEvatAs but also
tarpaNAs to various other forms of gaNapati.
There are about 50 different nyAsAs devoted to gaNapati in various tantric texts and
many many more that might be there but have not been revealed yet. Of these, the
gaNesha nyAsA (part of laghu shODA nyAsa), the extremely potent ganEsha ShadadvA
nyAsA, gaNEsha mUla mantra nyAsA, dasha vighna nyAsA, and AvarNa dEvatA
nyAsAs have been included in this issue. As part of the gaNesha AvAhanA, gaNapati
mudrAs and gaNapati tAlam lyrics are included in this issue. We tried to embed the
audio of gaNapati tAlam into this document but the inclusion of that increased the size
of the file dramatically. Hence, we decided against including the audio. UpAsakAs can
simply perform a web search on gaNapati tAlam and there are several good audios
available that can be downloaded or listened to.
The gaNapati AvaraNa krama is included in this issue for the enjoyment of upAsakAs.
The speciality of this is that the mUla mantras for each of the AvarNa dEvatAs have
been included. Thanks to shrI AtmAnandanAthA for sharing this crown jewel. The
gaNEshAstakam as provided in nityOtsavA at the end of gaNapati kramA is included in
this magazine.
vAnchAkalpalatA kramaH for mahAgaNapati is a popular scheme that has been
practiced in various guru maNdalams. Chanting all the four chapters of this krama
would take upto 45 mins to an hour from start to finish. Interestingly, in
vanadurgOpaniShad, a simpler form of this vAnchAkalpalatA kramaH is prescribed. Shri
RAdhA KrishNa sAstrigal, in his vignEshwara stuthi manjari has decoded this krama
elegantly. This issue carries this laghu vAchAkalpalatA kramA that is simple enough to
get into a daily routine.
As mentioned earlier, Shri AtmAnandanAthA has shared his article on the meditation
guide for mahA gaNapati in this issue. This will be helpful for the upAsakAs in
understanding the conceptual form of gaNapati and to bring this energy into the focus
while performing the dhyAnA and japA.
A few pearl Tamil poems on GaNapati penned by Shri Elandai Ramasami are included.
The poem on GaNapati containing the word Anai is a delight to read and listen to.
Thanks to him for sharing these wonderful poems in this issue.

also 30 ft tall and 900 ft wide for each of the fourteen AvaraNa dEvis. This fourth layer
is called the sarva soubhAgyadAyakA and the AvaraNa dEvis here are assisted by
crores of of shaktIs. These AvaraNa dEvIs are sarvasaMkShObiNI, sarva vidrAviNI,
sarvAkarShiNI, sarvAhlAdini, sarvasammOhinI, sarvastambanI, sarvajRumbinI,
sarvavashaMkarI, sarvaranjanI, sarvOnmAdinI, sarvArthasAdhanI, sarvasaMpatti
pUraNI, sarvamantramayI and sarvadvantvakShayaMkarI. All of these shaktIs are

The above is a description of a ten (eleven including the trunk) armed form with the
shakti (wife) siddalakshmi seated on the left lap. The sakthi wears lustrous ornaments,
embraces ganapathy with her right hand and holds a lotus in the other. The weapons in
the arms of the Lord, sequentially clockwise, from the right lowermost arm to the left are
pomegranate, mace, sugarcane, trident, discus, (up to this is right, then from left
uppermost arm) lotus, noose, blue lily, paddy and a broken tusk. On the trunk is jewel
studded ornamental pot filled nectar.
A method is suggested here, which helps us to visualize the form of Mahaganapathy
while chanting his mantra which has 28 letters in the sanskrit alphabet.
Om SrIm HrIm KlIm glaum gam ganapataye varavarada sarvajanam me vasamAnaya
svAhA
First, while repeating Om, mentally imagine the beautiful elephant face of the Lord.
Next, while repeating SrIm imagine in the right uppermost arm the discus in the left
uppermost arm the lotus because this is the seed letter of the divine couple Lakshmi
and Narayana
Next while repeating HrIm imagine in the second from top, right arm the trident and
similarly in the left arm the noose because this is the seed letter of the divine couple
Gauri and Sankara
Next while repeating KlIm imagine in the third from top, right arm the sugarcane bow
and similarly in the left arm the blue lily because this is the seed letter of the divine
couple rati and manmatha.
67
Next while repeating glaum imagine in the fourth from top, right arm the mace and
similarly in the left arm the paddy because this is the seed letter of the divine couple
Bhumi(earth) and Varaha( boar faced avatar of Vishnu).
Next while repeating gam, imagine in the right lowermost arm the pomegranate and
similarly in the left arm the tusk because this the seed letter of the Lord Ganapathy.
(From the above we can infer that the right arms hold the weapons of the Male forms of
the Divine and the left arms hold the weapons of the Female forms of the Divine)
Then while repeating ganapataye imagine your head resting on the feet of the Lord.
Since this is in the form of invocation to the Lord.
Then while repeating Varavarada, meditate on the ornamental pot of nectar on the
trunk and imagine that the Lord showers it on you and you are drenched, since this
denotes a prayer to the Lord to bestow the best boons/blessings on us. The best of
boon is the experience of the unlimited bliss that leads to immortality- amruta.
Now repeat sarvajanam me vasamAnaya meditate on Siddhalakhmi, the creatrix of
the universe on the left lap of the Lord with a firm conviction that the world, the divine
couple and the self are one. This part of mantra translates as let all people be
subjugated to me. We find a clue for our meditation in the word people, which
indicates the universe. The embrace of siddalakshmi can be interpreted as the creative
urge of the sakthi and the Lotus in the other hand represents Earth (the last subtle
element), by default the other four previous subtle elements and the result of their
mixture- The gross earth.
Finally repeat svAhA which indicates an offering into the fire (We are also reminded of
the fire sacrifice- ganapathy homam). Since whatever is offered into the fire becomes
one with it, meditate on the above truth and try to be in that experience for a moment.
Let us offer our most humble salutationsto the feet of the Guru, who has guided us in
this meditation.

Answers by AtmAnandanAtha
1. What is the method for bhavana of the panca puja done during japa karma?
The five elements earth, water, fire, air and space have five aspects of smell, taste,
form, feel (touch) and sound. These are offered to the devata who is none other than
the all-pervading Brahman. To get into that higher level of consciousness we identify
these aspects as from Brahman and not different from it. These being a very tough task
for even the trained mind; we can initially meditate on the form of the deity and offer
these as services.
A Yellow clad bright shining deity emerging from the mulAdhAra cakra of the sadhaka
offering sandal paste to the deity and merging in HER/HIS nose.
A White clad bright shining deity, emerging from the vishuddhi cakra of sadhaka offering
flowers to the meditated form of the deity and merging in HER /HIS ears.
A Grey clad bright shining deity, emerging from the anAhata cakra of sadhaka offering
incense smoke to the meditated form of the deity and merging in HER /HIS navel.
A red clad bright shining deity, emerging from the manipUraka cakra of sadhaka offering
a lighted lamp to the meditated form of the deity and merging in HER /HIS eyes.
A bright white clad bright shining deity, emerging from the manipuraka cakra of sadhaka
offering food to the meditated form of the deity and merging in HER /HIS tongue.
Thus we can meditate during the panca upacara before and after japa.
2. What is Pancikarana?
This seen universe creation is explained by pancikarana. The five elements were in
their natural state with the gunas corresponding to them as seen above, then a doubt
arises , if earth has the aspect of smell how come the we see incense smoke is having
smell, if feel is the aspect of air then how do we feel earth or water. This is explained by
this pancikarana, by which the visible universe is created. All the elements are divided
into two, keeping a part intact the second half is divided into four and distributed equally
with all other elements, Thus for example the visible element water will have half water,
one eighth of space, air, fire and earth in it. We can also see air had humidity= water
element, heat =fire element, smell =earth element in it.

3. What are the procedures for Atma tattva shodhanam, VidyAtattva ShodhanaM
and shiva tattva shodahnam?
The purificatory ritual called Acamana points to these shodhanas. The Atmatattva
shodhana is cleansing the gross body, It is evident from the BhUta shuddhi ritual of
getting a new shAmbhava sarIra removing the ANava malA- the feeling of aNutarA- that
I am an individual. The VidyAtattva shodhana of the Subtle body (suKshma deha) which
is the mind by nyAsa, placing the powerful seed syllables mantrm acintya-aktit Sutra1.8 in the previously created shAmbhava sarIra removing the mAyIya malA the
duality sense. The shiva tattva shodhana of the Causal body (kAraNa sarIra) by the
kAmakalA dhyAna, removing the kArmika malA the continual stains due to karma, the
source is not explainable.
