Uvod v mantro, ki smo jo imeli na zadnji meditaciji:
“Lord Ganesha is the elephant-headed Hindu God who is worshipped for his knowledge and wisdom. He’s a guardian of doors and temples, but most importantly, he’s known as the “breaker of obstacles.”
This mantra is related to replenishing our root chakra, and Ganesha is said to govern the root chakra.
Broken down, “om” is that traditional meditative primordial sound that means “wake up.” “Gam” is the sound of Ganesha. “Ganapataye” is another word for Ganesha. And “nahama” means “I offer my salutations and bow to you.”
So one full translation of om gam ganapataye namaha is more or less, “salutations to the remover of obstacles.”
Hey, Ganesha, can you help me out? I need the energy to open the root chakra and go forth with my life fearlessly.”
The root chakra is, after all, pretty all-important as your first chakra (or your red chakra). It’s the center of stability, appropriately located around the base of your spine and pelvic floor, so it makes sense that it’s associated with being an earth element and your body’s base. As such, it focuses on your basic needs: shelter, safety, food, and water. And emotionally, it involves your ability to let go and feel secure. On a mental and emotional level, a blockage in the root chakra can lead to fear, anxiety, and nightmares.
The root chakra is all about stability, and if the base isn’t stable, everything else is going to start to waver. By chanting, om gam ganapataye namaha, we’re asking Ganesha to help us out—we have lives to lead and stability can’t be an issue. He then asks us to connect to the Earth, to connect to our bodies, and to really ground ourselves.
Om gam ganapataye namaha is a good go-to mantra, because it blesses new beginnings, and assuages the fears associated with an unfamiliar situation.
