Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
Sharanam Ganesha

Oh Ganesha, remove all obstacles so that we may begin with great joy. Oh Sharavanabhava, give us strength and power so that we may continue even when it becomes difficult. Oh Saraswati, give us wisdom and deep intuition. Oh Guru, oh Swami Sivananda, please guide us. Oh Adishakti, you primordial force, bless us and grant that we may do much good.
