The Process
The Process
Guru gives the mantra diksha and a jaap mala. Sadhak can start the sadhna on a Monday after doing prana pratishtha and ahvahan.
1. Sit on a clean asan in a well-ventilated room. Perform siddhasan, your spine should be straight.
2. Pay reverence to your Guru and the energy of Shri Ganesh.
3. Internalise and using your jaap mala, begin chanting the jaap, once on every bead, out loud.
4. Close by doing Guru Vandana and Ganesh Stuti.
5. When you open your eyes, look at the center of the palms.
Start with one, two, or as many malas as comfortable, which becomes your basic daily count. You may increase this count gradually but cannot reduce it. This basic count must be maintained daily without a break as a niyam.
Please note: Missing the jaap on any day brings the entire practice to zero, and you must start over.

Completion of the Sadhna
Completion of the Sadhna
The practitioner needs to complete a count of 1,25,000 jaaps within the time period stipulated by the Guru. After completing this count, an experience follows (sharing what will happen will amount to auto-suggestion, hence we are avoiding it), which ascertains the successful completion of jaap. Thereafter,
A Ganpati Havan is performed with 12,500 ahutis (10% of the jaap count) for Siddhi of the mantra. You can come to Dhyan Ashram Yagyashala to perform your havan as the place is designed for spiritual progression. There are different-shaped kunds at the yagyashala - circle, semi-circle, square, triangle and star - each with a specific purpose. Guru tells as per your individual sadhna, which kund to be used.
After the havan, the daily count of malas can be gradually reduced to one mala per day.
Finally, a Tarpan of 1,250 offerings (10% of the ahutis) is performed by offering water to the Sun God while standing in knee-deep Ganges water, completing the sadhana.

It is important to receive the mantra from a Guru who is siddha in the mantra and has not tied the science to commerce.
It cannot be learnt by listening to audios, videos or reading from somewhere. The Guru has to transfer the Dhwani to the sadhak and channelise the energy of the mantra.

Shuddh Uccharan (Proper pronunciation)
Shuddh Uccharan (Proper pronunciation)
The efficacy of Mantra depends on the correctness of the chant. Faulty pronunciation of even a single alphabet changes the entire meaning. Taittiriya Samhita narrates the story of Tvashta who performed a sacrifice to destroy Indra. He used the mantra, ‘indrashatru’ to manifest his thought. However, he placed a lofty note on the word ‘indra’ instead of ‘shatru’ because of which the meaning of the word changed from ‘Slayer of Indra’ to ‘the one who will be slain by indra’ and thus the son, Vrutra, so born to him was defeated by Indra, just because of a pronunciation defect.

The Role of the Guru
The Role of the Guru
For any spiritual sadhna, Guru is essential. Let’s not forget even Shri Ram and Shri Krishna made a guru when they took a human form.
Every mantra has three components - beej, shakti and keel. Beej is the potential which a mantra holds. Guru channelises shakti into the mantra and puts a keel (like a nail) to it, as per the kshamta (capacity) of the sadhak, so that the practitioner is not harmed and able to take the force. In the absence of Guru’s sanidhya, the mantra remains incomplete, and its power cannot be realized.
The proof of this is, manifestation of divine energies in the Yagya fire as seen in photos clicked by Dhyan Ashram sadhaks

Benefits of Ganpati Sadhna
Benefits of Ganpati Sadhna
Shri Ganesh is the bestower of Ridhi (material gains) and Siddhi (spiritual powers). The sadhna accompanies a physical experience (manifestation of some thought, removal of a specific hurdle etc) as well as a spiritual experience. After Siddhi of the mantra, Guru tells the sadhak about specific prayogs of the mantra.
Shri Ganesh is the guardian of the realm of the etheric, the entry point to embarking on a spiritual journey. Hence Ganpati Sadhna, becomes the first mantra sadhna, after which a sadhak is steered into specific dev or devi sadhna depending on his/her individual desire.

Story Of Shri Ganesh
Story Of Shri Ganesh
According to the Puranas, Shri Ganesh emerged from the earth on Maa Parvati’s body while she was bathing. She gave him the responsibility of guarding the entrance of her chambers.
The boy took his position at the entrance and even denied entry to Bhagwan Shiv himself.
Bhagwan Shiv beheads the boy with his Trishul for this misdemeanour. But, on the insistence of Maa Parvati, Mahadev brings him back to life, for he had only obeyed his mother’s commands. Only an elephant head is restored in place of a human head.

Meaning of Shri Ganesh
Gan’ means guardian, and ‘Esh’ means supreme. Shri Ganesh is the supreme deity, the guardian of the spiritual world, and the first energy to grant access to the higher dimensions, as depicted in the allegory. The elephant head symbolizes supreme intelligence, while the human body with a large belly symbolizes a reservoir of energy stored in the Manipurak Chakra at the navel.
Shri Ganesh is the child of Mahadev, the supreme Purush, and Adi Shakti, the mother of creation, representing a combination of all aspects of creation.
Riddhi (prosperity) and Siddhi (spiritual powers) are married to Ganpati, indicating that Ganpati is an energy that bestows both spiritual and worldly boons, confirming the philosophy in the Shastras that attaining worldly pleasures is essential for attaining higher realms—moksha or liberation.

In Tantric Siddhant, the first sadhana given to a sadhak is Ganpati Sadhana and Ganpati Jaap, which opens the doorway to lokas beyond the Bhu-loka, the physical dimension in creation. Ganpati Sadhana grants siddhis to overcome hurdles and remove all obstacles and evil influences from one’s life.

Shwetark Ganpati and Maharakta Ganpati
Shwetark Ganpati and Maharakta Ganpati
Shwetark Ganpati is white in color and is said to exist in the root of the Madar plant, a rare variety of Madar that bears white flowers instead of the common purple ones. Shwetark Ganpati brings vitality, vigor, and strength when kept in the bedroom, intelligence and concentration when kept in the study room, spiritual powers when worshipped in the puja room, and frees the house from evil influences, bringing luck and prosperity.
The Maharakta (bloody red, fierce) Ganpati is depicted with three eyes, in a fierce form, holding cups of blood in his hands, being trampled under the foot of Mahakala as the protector of Dharma.
