      Shri Ganesh Mantra Ganaanaantva श्री गणेश मंत्र वैदिक स्वर #namakam #chamakam #shrirudrashtakam 7Likes 193Views Nov 102025 This is the first Mantra from Shri Rudraashtadhyayi(from Shukla Yajurved), which is dedicated to lord Shiva. This is one of the very First Mantras I learnt from my Grandpa and Guru. We recite this everyday while doing the daily rituals/Sadhna, during every auspicious occasion, and everywhere we have less idea about what to recite.. :) Simple, beautiful and yet VERY POWERFUL! गणानां — of the ganas / hosts / multitudes • त्वा — you (accusative) • गणपतिः — leader of the ganas (Ganapati) • हवामहे — we invoke / we offer (a ritual call) • प्रियाणां — of the beloved / of those dear • प्रियपतिः — lord of the beloved (one who is beloved or protects the dear) • निधीनां — of treasures / of hidden powers • निधिपति — lord of treasures • वसो मम — be my wealth / be my riches (vasa = wealth; mām / mama = my) • आहम् जानि — (I) know / (we) recognize — (textual: may appear as जानि/जानिगुरुत) • गर्भधमा — bearer/holder of the womb / that which sustains the seed (garbha = womb/seed; dhāma = holder/place) • त्वम् अजाति / त्वम् अजासि / त्वम जासि गर्भधम् — textual variants; roughly: “you are the progenitor / you cause the womb / you fashioned the womb” Jai Shri Ganesh.. :)   https://youtube.com/shorts/nlpbFZy8Wro?si=nGNMMzqcLueBvEE0
