He is liberated from the five greater and the five lesser sins. He who studies this Atharva Shira moves towards Brahma.
Hail to the Lord of Vows, hail to Ganapati, hail to the First Lord, hail unto you, to the Big-bellied, One-Tusked, Obstacle-Destroyer, the Son of Shiva, to the Boon-Giver, hail, hail! He who always meditates thus is a yogin above yogins. To the devoted a merciful Deva, the Maker of the World, the Prime Cause, who at the beginning of creation was greater than nature and man. Red, with a big belly, with ears like winnowing baskets, wearing red, with limbs smeared with red scent, truly worshipped with red flowers. One tusk, for arms, carrying noose and goad, with His hands dispelling fear and granting boons, with a mouse as His banner. Let us think of the one-tusked, let us meditate on the crooked trunk, may that tusk direct us. Ganaka is the seer, Nricad-Gayatri the metre, Sri Mahaganapati the god. Bindu the higher form, Nada the joining together, Samhita the junction. Letter Ga the first form, letter a the middle form, m the last form. Joined with ' Om', this is the mantra form. 'Ga' the first syllable, after that the first letter, beyond that 'm', then the half-moon all together. You are Brahma, You are Vishnu, You are Rudra, You are Agni, You are Vayu, You are the Sun, You are the Moon, You are Brahma, Bhur-Bhuvah-Svar. You are always situated in the Muladhara.
You are beyond the four measures of speech. Everywhere protect! Protect me everywhere! The Ganapati Atharvashirsham in translation: Despite the absence of the formal Ganapatya sect, Ganesha is still extremely popular and worshipped in most branches of Hinduism, and also by some Buddhists and Jains.Ī translation of the Ganapati Atharvashirsha Upanishad follows the video. The Ganapati Atharvashirsha is, therefore, now considered one of the fourteen Shaivite Upanishads. Over the centuries, however, this sect became absorbed by Shaivism. The Ganapati Atharvashirsha is believed to have originated with a sect called the Ganapatya, which worshipped Ganesha as the Supreme Reality. The audio is called the Ganapati Atharvashirsha Upanishad and is recited in temple on this festival during the abhishekha (ablution) ceremony.
In honor of this festival, I am posting a video link. Today (Sep 15, 2007) is the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, a special day to honor Lord Ganesha, the Remover of all obstacles.
