Shree Ganesha Atharva Sheersha (श्री गणपतीत्यर्वशीर्ष )

॥ श्रीगणपत्यथर्वशीर्षम् ॥

The Highest Praise of the Lord Ganesh

Ganapathi Atharva Seersha is a part of Atharva Veda. It is classified as an Upanishad and not as a chant; yet it is still considered universally as the greatest and most effective prayer addressed to Ganesh.

॥ श्रीगणेशाय नमः ॥
शान्ति मन्त्रः॥
ॐ भद्रं कर्णेभिः श्रृणुयाम देवा ।
भद्रं पश्येमाक्षभिर्यजत्राः ।
स्थिरैरङ्गैस्तुष्टुवांसस्तनूभिः ।
व्यशेम देवहितं यदायुः ।
ॐ स्वस्ति न इन्द्रो वृद्धश्रवाः ।
स्वस्ति नः पुषा विश्वैवेदाः ।
स्वस्ति नस्तार्क्ष्यो अरिष्टनेमिः ।
स्वस्ति नो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ।

Aum! O gods,with our ears may we hear that which is auspicious; Adorable Ones, with our eyes may we see that which is auspicious ; while praising the gods with steady limbs, may we enjoy the life that is alloted by the gods. May Indra of ancient fame be auspicious to us; may Pusan and the Visva-Devas be propitious to us; may Tarksya, of unhampered movement, be well disposed towards us; may Brihaspati ensure our welfare.
Aum! Peace! Peace! Peace!

Shanti from Upanishads of Atharva Veda

अथर्वशीर्ष

Now let us explain the Ganapatiathrvashirsha,
The supreme of hority Ganapati (who is the authority of al ganas-Shakti, Surya, Shiva, Vishnu and Brahmadeva) and who is OM.

ॐ नमस्ते गणपतये ।
त्वमेव प्रत्यक्षं तत्त्वमसि ।
त्वमेव केवलं कर्तासि ।
त्वमेव केवलं धर्तासि ।
त्वमेव केवलं हर्तासि ।

त्वमेव सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्मासि ।
त्वं साक्षादात्मासि नित्यम् ॥१॥

You are the divine truth.
You are the only creator of the world.
You are the only protector of the world.
You are the only destroyer of the world.
You are the ultimate supreme divine power.
You are the only soul which is present party in each and every living form.

Here the meaning of Brahma is related with unknown total universal knowledge. The origin of the total universe is sound. The first basic sound or knowledge is self existent, ever lasting and full of happiness, full of spirit. The pictorial form of this original sound is OM and an idol of Ganapati is a symbolic form of OM. All the matter is created from the original sound. ( matter is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons) atoms which are. It means original soul is present partly in each and everything and it is the ultimate supreme knowledge means it is the Brahma and. The Brahma(Lord Ganesha) controls from birth till death. [1]

ऋतं वच्मि ।
सत्यं वच्मि ॥२॥

The great sage Ganaka is speaking the divine truth. [2]

अव त्वं माम् ।
अव वक्तारम् ।
अव श्रोतारम् ।
अव दातारम् ।
अव धातारम् ।
अवानूचानमवशिष्यम्‌‍ |
अव पश्चात्तात् ।
अव पुरस्तात् ।
अवोत्तरात्तात् ।
अव दक्षिणात्तात् ।
अव चोर्ध्वात्तात् ।
अवाधरात्तात् ।
सर्वतो मां पाहि पाहि समन्तात् ॥३॥

(Oh Lord Ganesha) protect me. Protect the speaker, protect the listener, protect the donor, protect the sustainer, protect the learner and the teacher. Protet me from West direction, protect me from East, protect me from North, protect me from South. Protect me from top, protect me from bottom. Protect me from all sides and from surrounding. Lord Ganesha you protect me from all the obstacles when I am praising about your appearance, when I am listening about your merits/qualities. When I am passing the merit of your worshipping to others you protect me. When I am learning your worshipping from the Guru you protect me. The obstacles which will come across in my devotional worshipping you protect them from East, West, North, South and other surrounding/directions. [3]

त्वं वाङ्‌मयस्त्वं चिन्मयः ।
त्वमानन्दमयस्त्वं ब्रह्ममयः ।
त्वं सच्चिदानन्दाद्वितीयोऽसि ।
त्वं प्रत्यक्षं ब्रह्मासि ।
त्वं ज्ञानमयो विज्ञानमयोऽसि ॥४॥

You are the real speech and you are the real awakening. You are the real spirit of joy. You are the real universal divine knowledge. You are the incomparable everlasting real supreme joy. You are the perceptible/actual divine(substance) or as cause of the universe or an enigma. You are the actual knowledge and actual science and intelligence.(the meaning of science is spiritual experience) [4]

सर्वं जगदिदं त्वत्तो जायते ।
सर्वं जगदिदं त्वत्तस्तिष्ठति ॥
सर्वं जगदिदं त्वयि लयमेष्यति ।
सर्वं जगदिदं त्वयि प्रत्येति ।
त्वं भूमिरापोऽनलोऽनिलो नभः ।
त्वं चत्वारि वाक्पदानि ॥५॥

The whole world is produced from you. The whole world is exists because of you. The whole world merged into you. The whole world again one can experience in only you. You are the Earth, water, air, fire and sky(the panchamahabhutas-the five elements). You are the four states of speeches. Sounded soul which is the origin of the Lord Ganesha is the self existent everlasting unexpressed total universal divine knowledge. The three states creation, maintenance(taking care) and destruction are originated from Lord Ganesha(Matter is originated from sound. The protons, neutrons and electrons are made up of atom. Atom is made from matter.) Proton, the creator(God Brahma), neutron the care-taker(God Vishnu) and electron the destructer (God Shiva). The five elements are originated from Lord Ganesha. From Ether the air is originated, from air the fire is originated, from fire the water is originated, from water the earth is originated. A human being is also originated from these five elements by processing cosmic energy. Lord Ganesha is the self existent original sounded soul. The knowledge of sound is visible or invisible. We can hear it but cannot see or feel it. Lord Ganesha(sound) is soul and the universe is the body. The source of words are from Lord Ganesha-the original sound. The four states of speeches are para, pashyanti, madhyama and vaikhari. The place of para is deep down inside the region of naval. The place of pashyanti is in the heart

The ‘Madhyanma’ is the throat and ‘Vaikhari’ is the movement of tongue and lips. It means the presence of Lorf Ganesha(sound) is present in all the objects in the world. [5]

त्वं गुणत्रयातीतः ।
त्वं देहत्रयातीतः ।
त्वं कालत्रयातीतः ।
त्वं मूलाधारस्थितोऽसि नित्यम् ।
त्वं शक्तित्रयात्मकः ।
त्वां योगिनो ध्यायन्ति नित्यम् ।
त्वं ब्रह्मा त्वं विष्णुस्त्वंरुद्रस्त्वमिन्द्रस्त्वमग्निस्त्वं
वायुस्त्वं सूर्यस्त्वं चन्द्रमास्त्वं ब्रह्मभूर्भुवःस्वरोम् ॥६॥

You are beyond the three human qualities(Raj, Satva, Tam) You are beyond the three human states(waking, dreaming and deep sleep)
You are beyond the three states of bodies(gross, stable and causal)
You are constantly exist in the place ‘Muladhara’ in human body.
You are the three powers/Shakti (required for creation preservation and destruction)
The sages always meditate on Lorf Ganesha. You are Brahma, you are Vishnu, you are Rudra, you are Indra, you are Agni/God of Fire, you are Vayu/God of Air, you are Surya/Sun, you are Chandra/Moon, you are the Bramha(an organism from all living being) and the Earth, the Sky, the Heaven and the OM.

A human beings has three types qualities- Raj, Satva, Tam. Satva means Satvik means pure, holy or God fearing. A peson who is satvik, has always pure, noble clear thoughts. He is always well behaved well mannered thinking for others. Any type of bad element cold disturb him. ‘Rajogna’ means passionate. A person always thinks about what profit he will get if will do anything. He always accept positive results as per his thinking. If he doesn’t achieve it he gets disturb. Could not keep control on his thoughts and mind. ‘Tamasi’ means hot headed irascible. A person is very hot tempered, selfish, his thoughts and his world is around eating, drinking, sleeping. They hurt to others never think care for anybodies feelings and duties towards anybody. Lorf Ganesha is beyond these three gunas.

Through meditation a person can awake the power of thinking of body, correct decision power, through the power of kundalini which is in the ‘Muladhara’. Lorf Ganesha the supreme power is situated in ‘Muladhara’. [6]

रक्तं लंबोदरं शूर्पकर्णकं रक्तवाससम् ।
रक्तगन्धानुलिप्ताङ्गं रक्तपुष्पैः सुपूजितम् ।
भक्तानुकंपिनं देवं जगत्कारणमच्युतम् ।
आविर्भूतं च सृष्ट्यादौ प्रकृतेः पुरुषात् परम् ।
एवं ध्यायति यो नित्यं स योगी योगिनां वरः ॥९॥

स सर्वविघ्नैर्न बाध्यते ।

स सर्वतः सुखमेधते । 
स पंचमहापापात् प्रमुच्यते ।
सायमधीयानो दिवसकृतं पापं नाशयति ।
प्रातरधीयानो रात्रिकृतं पापं नाशयति ।
सायंप्रातः प्रयुंजानो अपापो भवति ।
सर्वत्राधीयानोऽपविघ्नोभवति ।
धर्मार्थकाममोक्षं च विन्दति ।
इदमथर्वशीर्षमशिष्याय न देयम् ।
यो यदि मोहाद् दास्यति स पापीयान् भवति ।
सहस्त्रावर्तनात् ।
यं यं काममधीते तं तमनेन साधयेत् ॥११॥

यः साज्यसमिद्‌भिर्यजति ।
स सर्वं लभते स सर्वं लभते ॥१३॥

महाविघ्नात् प्रमुच्यते ।
