MAHA GANAPATI YANTRA

This yantra of Maha Ganapati Yantra and Ganesh has many different aspects including Heramba, Haridra and Ucchishta Ganapati. "...He is to be meditated upon as seated on a lotus consisting of the letters of the alphabet.

·     The sadhaka should meditate upon an island composed of nine gems, placed in an ocean of sugarcane juice; a soft gentle breeze blows over the island and makes the waves wash the shore thereof.

·     The place is a forest of Mandara, Parijata and other Kalpa trees and creepers, and the light from the gems thereon casts a red glow on the ground. The six gladdening seasons are always there.

·      The sun and moon brighten up the place. In the middle of the island is a Parijata tree whereon are the nine gems and beneath it is the great Pitha (altar) on which is the lotus whereon is seated Mahaganapati. His face is that of the great elephant with the moon on it. He is red and has three eyes.

·      His beloved who is seated in his lap and has a lotus in her hand holds him in loving embrace. In each of his ten hands he is holding a pomegranate, a mace, a bow, a trident, a discus, a lotus, a noose, a red water-lily, a sheaf of paddy and his own tusk.

·     This is the bija or root mantra of Ganesha, Gam. Before doing the puja, the sadhaka or sadhvini places this bija on his or her body, using the long vowels of Sanskrit.

·        Ganesha YANTRA

·      His yantra consists of a square, inside which is an eight petals lotus, inside this is a hexagon and in the center an upward facing triangle. 

AUM Gung Ganapatayei Namah.

·         Ganesh is the foremost God. He is worshipped first on all auspicious occasions, whether it is a marriage or a religious function. Ganeshji is also invoked and worshipped before any festival, or a new project or venture that a Hindu undertakes. He is the remover of all sankat (obstacles) and is an extremely benevolent god, fulfilling the wishes of those whom pray to him sincerely.

·       Ganesh is usually shown with four hands, each one has a special symbolic object in it. One has an ankush (a goad), the second has a trishul (a three-pronged weapon) or an axe made from his broken tusk, the third has a lotus flower, and the fourth has a rosary. Ganesh has many faces and many forms including a pose of him dancing, a pose of him as a child and a young man.

·      Vinayak: In this pose has the four arms in which he holds his symbols. In this stance he sometimes holds a pot of modak (round sweet) in one hand instead of the rosary, or holds it in his trunk and retains the rosary.

·      Herambeganapati: In this form he has five heads and ten hands, three eyes in each face and rides on a lion. The extra eye in each face is between the eyebrows, symbolic of the 'third eye' or all Seeing Eye.

·      Viranvighnesa: Here he exhibits a martial spirit with several weapons held in his ten hands.

·      Shaktiganapati: In this is shown with his 'Shakti' (strength) or his consorts Riddhi and Siddhi (success and prosperity) or Buddhi (knowledge) or even Lakshmi (wealth) sitting on his thigh. It is largely believed that the worship of this aspect of Ganesha makes one's wishes come true.

·      Nattaganapati: A beautiful form, showing him in a graceful dance pose; Ganesh is supposed to have taken this stance when the Creator bowed to him and he was so happy that he started to dance and thus earned the title of the master of the arts of music and dance.

·      Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu (The Preserver of Human Life) is always placed along with Ganeshji. Because we love Lakshmi (wealth) and are ever worried about annoying her, to be on the safe side we worship her along with Ganesh. Since she cannot precede him, she sits next to him; she is never neglected. She is always placed to the right of him as she is like a mother to him.  

·        His yantra consists of a square, inside which is an eight petals lotus, inside this is a hexagon and in the center an upward facing triangle. His mantra is AUM Ganapataye Namah.

·         While his tantrik Gayatri is 

Ekadantaya Vidmahe, Vakratundaya Dhimahi, Tanno Danti Prachodayat.

·         His dhyana (meditation image is as having one tusk, four arms, carrying noose and elephant goad, with the other two hands bestowing boons and dispelling fear.

·     His Vahana (vehicle) is a rat, while he has a big belly and long winnowing ears.

·      He is adorned with red flowers and various red scents. But according to the Sharadatilaka tantra, he holds a noose, a goad, a wine filled skull and his fourth hand touches his Shakti. She is seated on his lap and she holds a lotus in her hand.

Heramba Ganapati

·        OM GUM Ganapati NAMA.

·         He is as bright as a thousand Suns and sits on a lion and has five faces, each of a different color. He has eight arms.

Trailokyamohanakara Ganesh

·         This name means the Ganesh who is the cause of delusion in the three world. His yantra is similar to the above, except there is no triangle in the center of the hexagon, which instead includes his mantra, which is:

·        VAKRA TUNDAYAI KLEEM KLEEM KLEEM GAM GANAPATE VARA VARADA SARVAJANAM ME VASHA MANAYA SWAHA

·         The mantra's meaning shows that this form of Ganesh is a worshipped in specific rite (prayoga).

Siddhi vinayaka

·         His mantra is:

OM NAMO Siddhi Vinayaka Sarva Karya Kartrai Sarva Vighna Prasha Manaya Sarva Rajya Vashya Karanaya Sarvajan Asarva Stri Purusha Karshanaya Shreem Om Swaha.

·         As this mantra indicates, again this is a form of Ganesh used in magical rites, in this case to obtain the siddhi of subjugation over kings, men, women and the alleviation of all obstacles.

Shakti vinayaka

·         The mantra of this form of Ganesh: 

AUM HREEM GREEM HREEM.

·        Bhargava is the rishi of the mantra, virat is the metre for pronouncing it, Grim (pronounced greem) is the bija, The dhyana is Shakti Vinaya, four armed, carrying modaka,  ankusha, and rosary. The yantra is of the hexagonal form with the root mantra inscribed in the center.

Lakshmi Vinayaka

·         Again, the hexagon yantra is used, but with the mantra in the center, which is 

AUM SHREEM GUM SAUMYAYA GANAPATAYE VARAVARADA SARVAJANAM ME VASHAMANAYA SWAHA.

·         The application is the desired wish, which in this case are Lakshmi, luck, good fortune, and money.

Haridra Ganesha

·         The word haridra is the yellow powder turmeric. The mantra of Ganesha:                        

·        OM HUM GUM GLAUM

·         And the yantra is similar to Lakshmi Vinayaka, with, however, the appropriate mantra in the center. Here, Ganesha is clothed all in yellow, has four arms, one of which touches his trunk, while the others hold noose, goad, and modaka bowl. The application is success in desires.

Ucchishta Ganapati

·         Ucchishta are the leftovers after puja (worship). This form of Ganapati comes with a nine-lettered mantra, a 12 lettered mantra, a 19 lettered mantra, a 32 lettered mantra, and a 37 lettered mantra.

Shri Ganesh Yantra

·         Before undertaking any new venture it is necessary to perform a Ganesh Puja in order to ensure the successful completion of the Kamaya. The swastika is the sign of Lord Ganesh. The Yantra is composed of six triangles, which are closed on all sides, with a central triangle and a “Bindu” inside.

·        The Beej Mantra are Gam Glaum

·        This Mantra is to be recited when purifying the Yantra of Ganesh. After Attaining the Shiddhi of the Yantra the person will be blessed with his desires . The yantra must be worshipped for the period of 30 days and the chanting of 1,000 Mantras a day.   Flowers, honey, milk and coconuts should be placed as offerings.
