Ganesha Gayatri to remove obstacles

Ganesha is the king of obstacles and guardian of all existing beings. If you want obstacles from your path (of your goal) to be removed, Ganesha is the right supervisor to talk to. If you make friends with Ganesha, the obstacles will not only be removed, but will also not occur in the first place. He is tough with his enemies and smashes them with the power of a real elephant, but gives sweetness and joy to the one who honours him. Whatever you do with sincerity and a good heart (with Ganesha, who is the joy of life) goes smooth and effortless. In India, temples of Ganesha are found in every village, every junction of street corners and his pictures adorn every home. He is called the destroyer of obstacles - 'Vighna Vinayaka', The one who gives happiness and joy - 'Sukha Kartha', The absorber of sorrow and misfortune - 'Dukha Hartha', He makes wishes come true - 'Siddhi Vinayaka'.

By ancient tradition, the elephant-headed God, Ganesha is always worshipped first and foremost in every ritual or festival. He likes sweet items and milk; hence we can offer them to win his attention. Common belief is that Ganesha is most deity-friendly. He is happy with simple offerings of coconut or three "Kuttu" (gently tapping of both temples with folded fists) or just a prayer with a pure heart.

Recite this mantra to clear your path from bad luck and fill it with good fortune, before you start any new project to ensure success and prosperity. Recite it every morning before you begin your day. The power of this mantra will ensure smooth sailing of life even in the most turbulent of times.
