Thank you sir for your kind reply. I am single but have responsibility to take care of my parents. For namesake, I an Artificial Intelligence Engineer. But in reality the situation is different. I have to think 10,000 times to spend even a single rupee. Full of debts. Insecurity in job. Lot of struggle to get even a simple thing done. Vexed with life. I have always been grounded with very minimal expectations from life. But still problems haunt me. I don't know why. At the moment, I am taking beatings from all the 8 sides. Hence, I get the thoughts of renouncing the world. I really don't have the courage to leave the physical body. So, wanted to go in exile. I can't even do that just because of my parents. I have to do something for them to sustain in life with peace. But, I am getting blank day by day. And yes, I am chanting this mantra as I am more attracted towards this. I could barely chant 3-4 minutes a day and then my mind gets off. As you mentioned about Mahāṣoḍhānyāsa, is this the one you are referring to? https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-kamakala-kalika-sodhanyasa-mahamantrah or https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-dakshina-kali-shoda-nyasa Could you please guide me sir.. thank you for reading all this and understanding my feelings.

If you are getting these thoughts and are single with no family responsibilities, you may pursue the path of renunciation after taking permission from close family members and under the guidance of a guru. If any of these do not apply, then please scale down your expectations and start small. You are just going through a very bad patch that most people also experience but may not express openly. You may seek guidance from a well-versed guru, who might be able to help you through these troubled times. In case you are reciting this mantra, you may benefit from the associated Mahāṣoḍhānyāsa.

It is not required for this Tarpaṇam. Please follow the procedures already mentioned in this document. If you are doing this on a one time basis and also wish to perform the sixteen-fold ṣoḍhaśopacāra pūja, then you need to follow all the processes associated with it. We will publish the ṣoḍhaśopacāra pūja for Mahāgaṇapati in due course of time.

Hi sir, What should a person do if he is continuously getting the thoughts of renunciation and leaving this world? He couldn't concentrate on anything, always heart beats at 144. Always worried about something, no peace. no success in anything. Can he follow his mind and leave?

Thank you Sir. You posted a prana pratishta method for the Uchhista Ganapathi puja in one of your articles regarding Uchhista Ganapathi, which seems complicated. Would you mind posting a simple prana pratishta mantra to invoke Mahaganapathi into the turmeric Ganapathi after the dhyana shloka?

You have to say Shri Mahaganapati avahayami, etc by chanting dhyana verse. It is like invoking during pujas. During Samkalpa, you have to hold rice mixed with turmeric powder and a bit of water (known as akshata) and then take the samkalpa.

Thank you for this. Please explain how to invoke Mahaganapathy in the turmeric Ganapathi. Is there a need to use 'moola mantra with avahayami' to invoke Mahaganapathi or would the dhyana verse enough to do so? Secondly, during the sankalpa, do we just say the sankalpa or do we have to hold rice with turmeric in right hand and place on the left palm? Kindly reply ASAP.

His elephant trunk is holding the jeweled pot and the seeds of Creation, that are being showered on the entire Universe. He as the Creator is spreading the seeds of Creation and as Preserver, showering the Universe with bounty. All other weapons are tools that help with the process of Sustenance and Destruction/Transformation.

Dear Krishna, if you don’t mind indulging me in one last question, I promise )) It seems that I have incorrectly shown the translation of one word. And now I’m arriving to 11 items that Ganesha is holding, which seems to contradict with the fact that one of his hands should be holding Siddha Lakshmi. Here’s what we have: bījapūra >> (1) pomegrante gadekṣu >> (2) a club, kārmukarujā >> (3) sugarcane bow; cakrābja >> (4) cakra = chakra and abja = (5) lotus; pāśotpala >> (6) pāśa = noose, (7) utpala = blue lilly vrīhyagra >> (8) rice plant svaviṣāṇa >> (9) his own broken tusk ratna kalaśa >> (10) a pot of jewels karāmbhoruhaḥ >> kara = hand, (11) ambhoruhaḥ = lotus sapadma-karayā >> here we have another lotus which is being held by Siddha Lakshmi (that’s one of the ways to translate it, or as you said, it can be said that he has lotus like hands) Did I miss anything?

You may recite the atma-bīja that was given to you by your guru and then proceed with this kavacam. You may approach your guru to obtain the initiation for Mātaṅgī Devi and then recite this kavacam. Please visit the 'Mantra Initiations' page for more information on initiations and you may choose any one in the list for a remote initiation, if you are unable to obtain this mantra from your guru.
