About this ceremony
Sacred Mantra
ॐ
“Om Glam Glaum Gam Ganapataye Namah”
What it feels like
Before anything new can begin, Ganesha is called first. Modakas and soft durva grass are offered to the flames, and you can almost feel the obstacles — the worry, the hesitation — being gently swept aside, the road ahead suddenly lighter and open.
What happens inside the Ganapati Homa
Performed in the authentic VDS Vaidic paddhati — Sankalpa, Ganapati Puja, Kalasha Sthapana, Punyahavachanam, the consecration of Agni, the deity's offerings, and the final Purnahuti.
- 1
Sankalpa
The intention for the new venture is declared with the names and gotra of the family.
- 2
Ganapati invocation
Ganesha is invoked into an idol or kalasha and worshipped with the 108 names (Ashtottara).
- 3
Modaka & Durva offerings
His favourite offerings — modaka and durva grass — are presented.
- 4
Homa
Ghee and havan samagri are offered into Agni with the Ganapati mantra for each oblation.
- 5
Purnahuti & Aarti
The final offering and lamp-waving complete the homa.
Significance
No Vedic ceremony begins without first honouring Ganesha. As Vighnaharta, he clears the seen and unseen obstacles that obstruct success. Performing the Ganapati Homa at the start of an endeavour aligns it with auspicious energies and steadies the mind for the work ahead.
