Overcoming Obstacles through Prayer
The Ganapati Upanishad
Swamini Svatmavidyananda Saraswati
The Ganapati-Atharvashirsha-Upanishad is a lucid unfoldment of the vision of God in the Vedic tradition. The word Ganapati means the one who is the Lord of all gaṇa —groups or species. In the vision of the Upanishad, the Lord is all pervasive, all-knowing, and ever-present —obtaining as the self-evident awareness within the intellect. When one understands Ganapati as both the imminent cause of all creation, and the transcendental and limitless presence that is non-separate from oneself, one gains self-knowledge and is freed of fear and sorrow, the hallmarks of saṃsāra.
Offered daily in morning satsang, afternoon workshop, and evening satsang (subject to change).
