Gaṇeśa Mantra – Aum Gaṁ Gaṇapataye Namaḥ | Session 2 (Key A)
by Monika Loe
Join this live-recorded chanting circle to explore the sacred mantra Aum Gaṁ Gaṇapataye Namaḥ — invoking Gaṇeśa, the remover of obstacles and guardian of new beginnings. We begin with the peace mantra Saha Nāvavatu from the Upanishads, followed by grounding breathwork and an introduction to the meaning and pronunciation of the mantra — including the gentle guttural g, the flowing dental t and n, and the retroflex ṇ in Gaṇapataye. The chanting unfolds in the key of A, accompanied by a live harmonium. We start in call & response, then move into a shared unison chant as the rhythm settles into flow. After a while, a second melodic variation is added, creating a warm, meditative circle of sound that invites the mind to stillness. A beautiful way to clear the path, refine your pronunciation, and deepen your daily sādhana — or simply to reconnect with stillness, clarity, and trust in the flow of life. Recorded live during the Learn & Experience series (November 2025) With love, Monika
