Ganapati Atharvashirsha

Ganapati Atharvashirsha, also known as Ganapati Upanishad, is found in the Atharva Veda. The text is dedicated to Ganesha, the lord of intellect and learning, and asserts that Ganesha is same as the supreme Reality – Brahman.

This Upanishad expounds the Tattva – true nature of Ganesha, ways to pray to Him, upasana of Ganesha to be performed and its result, and the bija- and mula-mantra “Om ga? ga?apataye nama?,” which has its origin in this text.
