THE STOREROOM

Almost every house has a room for storing food items, clothes or utensils and household equipment. In rural areas, the store for grains i.e. granary and fodder are kept separately. There are specific rules for the storage area and they must be followed.

As far as possible, food and other items should not be clubbed together. But in apartments and smaller houses, where space is a constraint, they can be kept together provided Vaastu rules are adhered to.

Directions for keeping things in the store:

THE LUCKY MANTRA OF LORD GANESHA:

The Aum Shreem Gam Saubhagya mantra, also called the Shubh Labh Mantra dedicated to Lord Ganesha can be chanted on Tuesdays for good fortune. The divinity Ganesha is worshipped first amongst all the other deities in Hinduism. Lord Ganesha is also famous as Ganpati and He grants wisdom and blesses devotees with prosperity. While we perform any Puja, the elephant-headed deity is offered prayers so as to avoid any obstacles, which in Hindi we quote as Vighna.

It Is as follows:

“Aum Shreem Gam Saubhagya Ganpataye Varvarda Sarvajanma Mein Vashamanya Namah॥“

Aum Shreem Gam Saubhagya Ganpataye Varvarda Sarvajanma Mein Vashamanya Namah॥

The third word says- “Ganpataye”, which means, the breaker of barriers. The fourth word says, “Varvarda,” which means, several blessings and wishes. The next word says, “Sarvajanma Mein”, which means for our present and future lifetimes Then we have the word, “Vashamanya”, which means the one who protects us with long lives of well-being, happiness and peace. The last word is “Namah” which means to bow in homage.

The best time to chant Ganesh mantras is early morning when one is with a fresh and relaxed mind. Take a bath and chant the “Aum Shreem Gam Saubhagya” mantra with full focus, attention, devotion, and love. The perfect position is sitting on a puja mat and using a rosary made of Rudraksha. Master the right pronunciation, so you don't chant the wrong words and then chant the mantras. Put the picture of Lord Ganesh in front of you, or you can simply sit in a silent, tranquil place facing the rising sun in the morning to do the chanting.

Chanting the Ganesh Mantras with faith and devotion can help win the blessings of Lord Ganesh. Lord Ganesha, with Goddess Lakshmi, grants money, wealth, good fortune, prosperity, abundance, possessions, peace, and all material successes. Ganesh Mantra not solely gives the award of one’s efforts but stimulates one’s progress and support to become a better self in life. People usually don't chant “Aum Shreem Gam Saubhagya” mantra for health issues, but while chanting of the mantra, the chanter’s blood circulation and nervous system get direct healing by his mantras. It eliminates each and every competitor of chanter’s life and he/she gets focus and precision. Chanting of this mantra also removes fears and phobia.
