After Describing the Characteristics & Cosmic Attributes Of Lord Ganesha, Atharvan Rishi Gives us the Sacred “GANESH VIDYA” i.e. the Mantra which Reveals the Sacred Form of Lord Ganesh. The Letter “GA” is to be enunciated, following by “NA” This one word Mantra is then Potentiated with the “PRANAVA” “OM”. This is Sacred Mantra. “GA” is the first part, “Na” is the middle & end “UM” formed by the bindu is conjoined with the foregoing & all of them form the Sacred word. This Mantra if pronounced properly, has the power of revaling The Divine Lord Ganesh, The sage who receives the Mantra is Ganaka & the Metre is “NICHRAT GAYATRI” The Diety is Ganapati. Om ‘GANG’ Ganapati My salutation to you || 7 ||Saying Thus, The Devotees should bow to the Lord.
