Divine Chants of Ganesha

Diverting away from Economics and Democracy, recently I was listening to an audio CD called "Divine Chants of Ganesha". After having listened to it n-number of times, I couldn't resist writing about this wonderful audio. It's a beautiful Fusion music woven with the core Mantras of Ganesha wrapped in a reverberating voice of Uma Mohan. I am sure the experience of this audible will euphorically transcend any listener into an ethereal plane where you can feel the command of Lord Ganesha( at least a few songs are definitely so). Uma Mohan's voice is perfectly suited to recite the chants from Vedas.

Anyone who feels that the Hindu ritual chants are boring and monotonous should listen to this audio, it will make you reconsider your opinion about the chants, and you will want to sing along with singer. The music is aptly suited for the current generation who are always on the look out for something different.

Initially when one listens to Ganapati Ghanapaath, it appears to be the most complicated recitation on the earth. Thanks to our Rishis/author(s) for using mathematics and putting a pattern in it. Anyone who is good at math can take it as a challenge and try to figure out the patterns in this mantra; it's a mind refreshing excercise. For those who get an adrenaline rush when they listen to the "Ganapati Ghanapaath" from this audio and want to learn the complicated recitation, the following link explains the patterns, Ganapati Ghanapaath Pattern

Finally, for all those "Ganesha" lovers who want to learn the lyrics of the songs(mantras) in this audio, here is a site that has most of them, Ganesha Mantras.

(Thanks to Vijay Sharma for introducing me to this audio, and to Purvi Shah for pointing me to the above links of Sanskrit documents and pattern)
