My Retranslation of the Rig Veda's Ganapati Mantra



Om Ga-nanam Tva Ganpatim Havamahe

Om, sacred syllable of divine knowledge belonging to Ganapati's Call to Joy.

Kavim Ka-vi-nam-Upama-Shravas-Tamam

Seer of Truth; Spirit of the Great Purusha's Name exemplifying equality and wholeness;

Jyes-s(a)t-tha-ra-ajam Brahman-nam Brahman-aspata (aspada)

Star of the sun and moon; unborn radiance of Brahman's name in Brahman's abode;

Aa Nah Shrn-van-Nuuti-bhih-Si-ida-Saad-a-nam

Bringer of the wholeness bestowing the desire to break away from the split-mind of fear binding Ida (the channel through which the Living Water flows) by sinking into the Name of God.

Om Mahaa-Ganna-Adhipa-taye Namah

Om, great song of the Lord and Provider, I offer respectful obeisance.
