Re: Prayer for finding God
Namaste Rudy,
I remember your posts from before, and I am moved to see how much you want to work on your faith. So many people feel it just comes upon them with no rhyme or reason, but even bhakti and faith in God must be nurtured through spiritual practice. Prayers and encouragement from us will help as well, and I most certainly will include you in mine. I agree with Ramakrishna on including Ganesha japa in your endeavours. For countless Hindus everywhere, He is the stepping stone to seeing and understanding God.
Do you mean chant Om Ganesh, Om Ganesh, Om Ganesh, or something more complicated?
You can just use His name if that is all that's required. Other mantras you may find useful include: "Om Gam Ganapataye namaha" and "Om Sri Ganeshaya namaha". I pray that Ganesha removes obstacles that might hinder your spiritual growth.
Om namah Shivaya
"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
ॐ गं गणपतये नमः
Om Gam Ganapataye namah
लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु ।
