Ganesha
The last two chants are dedicated to Ganesha and chanted by Swamini Saralananda herself. Ganesha is the creator and remover of obstacles. For the longest time, I only knew Ganesha as the remover of obstacles. I was quite surprised when I learned that he’s also the creator.
After sitting with this new information for a while, it made sense. Ganesha helps us by putting obstacles in our life. Helps us to see how far we have come. How much we have grown and evolved. How much strength and courage we have now.
And if you have obstacles in your life and would like them to get eased away, ask Ganesha for help with either one of these two chants.
Agajanana
Agajanana is usually chanted right before shruti smriti.
As the rays from the lotus face of Lauri is always on her beloved son Gajanana, who is having the face of an elephant. Similarly, the grace of Sri Ganesha is always on his devotees, granting their many prayers, the devotees who with deep devotion worship the single tusked lord.
