Removing our Obstacles

Namaste dear yogi friend. We're going to chant today to Ganesha, singing with the harmonium. So we've been speaking a lot about Ganesha recently and perhaps he watched Manoj and his talking about Ganesha and he's this energy that lives and dwells within ourselves which removes obstacles from our path. So perhaps as we're speaking today, as we're singing today, you might want to just offer this chant to some journey that you're on whether it be a physical journey you're going on or a metaphorical journey that you are on. You might just want to offer this chant to clearing any obstacles from the path of this journey. So we're going to sing together and I'll begin just by breaking it down into three parts so that we can get a sense of the words and then we'll put it all together. So the first little section is Ganesha Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha. Sharanam means I take refuge in. So we take refuge in the support of the energy of Ganesha. Ganesha Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha and just perhaps just try singing this first little bit with me. Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha. Ganesha Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha. The next part is Om Gam, Ganapataye Namaha. Om being the primordial sound, Gam being the root sound, the seed sound of Ganesha, Ganapati being another name for Ganesha and Namaha meaning I bow to. Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha. I bow to Ganesha. Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha. Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha. Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha. Beautiful okay and then the last bit which is a little bit more complicated and so you can either just listen in this part or join in if you like. His Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha Pahimam. Can you say that? Pahimam Shri Ganesha, Shri Ganesha, Shri Ganesha Raksha Mam, Raksha Mam. So Pahimam and Raksha Mam means protect me, support me, hold me, save me. So Jai Ganesha is victory to, oh victorious Ganesha, protect me, hold me and then Shri Ganesha, Shri means oh illumined one, protect me and the Raksha Mam is this fierce protection. So really asking for his holding for his protection. So let's try that bit.

Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha Pahimam, Shri Ganesha, Shri Ganesha, Shri Ganesha Raksha Mam. Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha Pahimam, Shri Ganesha Shri Ganesha Shri, Ganesha Raksha Mam. Okay so we're just gonna put that together and we're just gonna sing and flow and as always with these chants, just allowing the medicine of the chanting to really clear the mind and just allowing yourself to drop down into the sound, into the body. I'm going to actually just use my iPhone, there's an app called iTabla and use it as a drum beat just to hold the rhythm. So that's easily accessible if that's something that you would like to play with yourself at home. Just allowing yourself just to enjoy this, to be comfortable and just let the words flow naturally. Zara Nam Ganis, so can it say, Zara Na. Zara Nam Ganis, soâ?¦ Om Gham Ganapataye Namaha. Om Gham Ganapataye Namaha. Om Gham Ganapataye Namaha.
