Chant
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha
Om Guhm Guh-nuh-puh-tuh-yea Nah-mah-hah
Rough Translation: 'Om and salutations to the remover of obstacles for which Gum is the seed.'
Om and salutations to Ganapati (Ganesha)
The new year offers a chance to bring your deepest desires to life. But first you have to find a path around the obstacles standing in the way. Although they may manifest as external problems-you may think a lack of time prevents you from meditation every day, for example-it is often emotions or thought patterns that hold you back. Yet if your internal state is unified with your desire you can achieve anything. The mantra above is traditionally chanted to start new endeavors with positive energy and to remove obstacles.
(I have been advised to practice this chant for 40 days, today was day 1)
