Zero Gravity - Martyr

This line of text, drawn forth from the Rg Veda, can be used at the beginning of a meditation practice as a means of setting the stage, granting oneself permission to explore a new state of consciousness, or simply create the context for entry into the mind and heart. Mahodevo refers to Shiva as the great light who liberates us from death. Loosely translated the rest of this mantra says that we may gain entry “in any different way, all to the core.”

Vernon Bush - Love Cinema

Here we learn Ganapati’s laghu mula-mantra, the “light” version of his mula (root) mantra. In the Tantric tradition, to name is to invoke presence. When forms are named – and only when they are named – can they become food. The tantric longs for evocative sustenance in her embodiment and so there is little stock given to those forms which are said by some to be “beyond words.” Such language of ineffability is reserved for the problem-solving traditions; for language - a feature of embodiment - is surely a problem in their minds. By contrast, the poets of the tantra long for more language, not less. For with more words one has more artful possibilities in life. Only by naming one’s experience can one grab hold of it, assimilate and digest it says the Tantric. And so Om Namo Ganapataye names this great Ganapati, which is his preferred name among some lineages of Householders. (Ganesha tends to be the name one hears most often in the West.)
