Powertime: Invoke Veera Ganapathi Ganesha for Courage & Victory

 Monday, April 22 PDT

“Well ahead of time, Ganesha gives the opportunity for everyone to understand: ‘What is an obstacle’, and how his special intelligence can be employed to remove obstacles which you cannot even conceive of, because you confront obstacles only after they occur. You don’t know how they can be stopped, even before they come. That is a special intelligence, and Ganesha has that intelligence.” – Dr. Pillai

Ganesha is the elephant-headed Ultimate Obstacle Removal Archetype. He is lightning fast with results. 4th and 14th Moons are Ganesha’s strongest regular powertimes, when he is most accessible. Invoking his blessings at this time would prove to be very beneficial. Lord Ganesh will be Eveready to help you out from dire circumstances.

On this particular 4th Waning Moon, we will invoke Ganesha in his forms as Veera Ganapathi, which is also spelled Vira Ganapathi, and Sankashta Hara Ganapathi. In recent times, this worship has gained momentum, and several are experiencing positive effects in their lives.

Veera Ganapathi: The Ganesha of Courage

There are thirty-two forms of lord Ganapathi. Each one of these thirty-two Ganesha forms is unique, they bless the invoker with a particular benediction. Some of the popular forms are Bala Ganapathi, Taruna Ganapathi, Sakthi Ganapathi, Siddhi Ganapathi, Vira Ganapathi, etc.

This form of Ganesha is believed to be the “Valiant Warrior”. He safeguards his devotees and gives them the courage to face any situation. Fear is a major force behind many obstacles and has to be eradicated to succeed in life. His 16 arms carry several weapons. They include a goad, discus, bow, arrow, sword, club, hook, shield, spear, mace, battle axe, trident, hammer, Nagapasha (serpent noose), and a victory flag.

On this day, the Moon will be in Jyeshta, a star of courage and conflict resolution, adding power to Veera Ganapathi’s presence within us.

Sankashta Hara Ganapathi: A Powerful Obstacle-Destroyer Form of Ganesha

Sankashta Hara Ganapathi is the 32nd of 32 forms of Ganesha. The Vedic priests will invoke this form of Ganesha, and Veera Ganapathi, on the first 4th Waning Moon of the Vedic New Year.

According to the holy scriptures, chanting the sacred hymn, Ganesha Pancharatnam, combined with Fire Prayers, can bring the following blessings:

  • Destroy obstacles and suffering
  • Bestow happiness, intelligence, and divine wisdom
  • Relieve you from diseases and vices
  • Destroy inner demons such as ego & jealousy
  • Give you a good spouse and progeny
  • Grant you longevity and eight supernormal powers
  • Provide you with immense wealth and prosperity
  • Fulfill your desires
  • Grant you liberation from the birth and death cycle
  • Gives contentment 
  • Removes anxiety and fear

Mantra & At-Home Practice:

Just say Gum. It’s pronounced like bubble gum. This is Ganesha’s Bija, or seed syllable mantra. Add an Om to it if you wish: Om Gum.

Use Ganesha’s Maha Mantra: Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha. It’s pronounced ohm gum gah-nah-pah-tye-YAY NAH-mah-hah.

For maximum benefits from these mantras: Chant them as much as you can. Ideally, when your “mind becomes mantra,” you’re on the right track. Gradually you will see that your mind calms down and concentrates entirely on the mantra. You will realize the positive vibes.
