I have been feeling pulled towards this deity lately, ever since Hanuman Jayanti. I wasn't very familiar with Hinduism before I moved up to Portland, and there's a lot more that I'd like to learn. I got a download last weekend that I'm supposed to start working very closely with Sri Ganesh. Lately I've been continuously reciting the few mantras that I do know, and praying to him to remove all obstacles on my path.
OM Sri Maha Ganapataye Namah
