Ganesha Atharva Sheersha is an ancient prayer in praise of Shri Ganesha who is the embodiment of innocence and who guards the Mother Kundalini (Guari). Ganesha is praised as the remover of obstacles – the obstacles, which may occur in the course of the awakening of the Kundalini and the development of one’s realization.
The wisdom of Shri Ganesha is the wisdom of the heart - that is the ability to perceive the true meaning of what people may say or do (i.e. what is really in their heart). Children again naturally have this ability as they often tune in to the feelings and subtle signals rather than the face value of what is said. Shri Ganesha is also the eternal divine child, and he therefore likes to have fun and enjoy. He bubbles with enthusiasm, playfulness and love.
Reading Ganesha Atharva Shersha daily will significantly improve your subtle system and help you clear the blockages in the chakras. After raising your kundalini and giving yourself a bandhan, start your meditation by reading this prayer.

OfflineDear Ano,
The bandhan is a series of hand gestures that first invites Mother Kundalini to come up along our spine and stay above our head, and then establishes or evens out a protective “shield” around our body, so that our attention is not disturbed and remains on our Spirit and on our Mother Kundalini. You can see how this is done here: http://www.onlinemeditation.or…..editation/ We do this normally when begin something and when we end something, if we want our attention to stay enlightened and protected. So, before and after the meditation, before leaving home for work and after coming back, or in general, if we enter a disturbing place or situation.
About prayers and religion. In Sahaja meditation we have the experience of “vibrations” – a cool breeze above our head and on our hands if we are in a balanced state, or sometimes heat or tingling that indicates imbalance. Pretty soon after starting to feel them, if we meditate regularly, we learn to pay attention to them and to interpret them. Whatever increases the cool vibrations improves our balance, and so that’s what we want to experience as much as possible. Whatever causes more heat and tingling, or decrease in coolness (I’m oversimplifying a little here), takes us out of balance, and so we try to avoid it. Now, there are certain things in most religious traditions, which increase our balance, help us clear out the imbalances, and so deepen our meditation. Some of them are especially beneficial for certain aspects of our subtle system. For instance, the Lord’s prayer taught by Christ, clears out and balances the 6th energy center (in the middle of our head).The Sanskrit prayer from the Hindu tradition that we have posted here balances the first energy center at the base of our spine.
So, if you feel vibrations, try listening to it, and feel how it changes your vibrations. If they improve – use it. If you don’t feel any difference, it might not be what you need right now, – then don’t use it. Everything suggested here is for you to try out on your own.
If you don’t feel vibrations yet, it might be good idea for you to first go over the introductory online course, and to come check out these additional techiniques once you have felt your Kundalini, and once you have somewhat established your meditative state, because only then you can really see whether it works or not for improving your state.
