    Sri Krishna and Sri Ganesha Mantras

    I am finally going to have japa mala beads and I have always been drawn to both Sri Krishna and Sri Ganesha. Could someone recommend me some resources for mantras devoted to them?

    I am worried about randomly searching the internet. I would rather have a personal recommendation for resources.

    Thank you.

    Namaste Arjunah,

    Of course the most popular mantra for Lord Krishna is the famous Hare Krishna mantra.

    Another Lord Krishna mantra I use that TBTL has mentioned is "Aum Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya". You can hear it beautifully pronounced here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do5m9NAynuY

    A popular mantra for Lord Ganesha that I use is "Aum Gam Ganapataye Namaha". You can hear it pronounced here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h2rFVPCSPE

    Best wishes.

    Ah yes, I forgot! I saw this video a while back and I initially didn't really care for it because it sounded too "musicy" and melodic, but then I listened to it again when you posted it and I really developed a liking for it. It's a very beautiful rendition indeed.

    Want my opinion why? (well, you're getting it anyway )...

    It's not a typical bhajan or kirtan using Indian instruments and composition as we are used to hearing. Just my opinion.

    Yeah, you're right. I usually listen to traditional-style bhajans, but sometimes some of the more modern-style ones are very nice.

    Although something like this is definitely not to my tastes: http://hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=7091

    LOL-I can sort of kind of live with the rap, but it's not my favorite either, and I surely won't be bothered listening to it again. I don't mind some actual rap (but I truly do despise the nasty, vulgar type about killing police and degrading women, or where the F word has to be said every 5 seconds).
    I listen to Deva Premal's Om Gam Ganapateyei Namaha, and I also now have an entire album of the Kirtan singer Krishna Das, and there are several Hare Krishna chants, as well as Sita Ram. Krishna Das is perhaps more contemporary-both are Westerners but I think their work is beautiful. I stumbled upon them in an iTunes and YouTube search for both mantras.
