Ganesha Mooshika Vahana | Auspicious Beginnings and Obstacle Removal | Mūṣikavāhana śloka | 21 Times

ABOUT THIS CHANT Mooshika Vahana is a short dhyāna-stuti (visualization and salutation) to Lord Ganesha, praising his iconic form—rider of the mouse, holder of modakas, with fan-like ears and a hanging sacred thread—and offering reverent namaskāra to Vināyaka as Vighneśa, the remover of obstacles. It is traditionally recited at the beginning of worship and new undertakings to invite auspiciousness and focused devotion. WHAT THIS MANTRA IS USED FOR • A short opening dhyāna/namaskāra before any pūjā or āratī • Beginning study sessions or spiritual practice with centered attention • Starting new ventures and household prayers with auspicious intent • Special remembrance during Ganesh/Vinayaka Chaturthi and Sankashti Chaturthi • Reciting once before longer Ganesha stotras or “oṃ gaṃ gaṇapataye namaḥ” HOW TO LISTEN OR PRACTICE • Listen in the morning as part of daily prayers to set a reverent tone • Chant aloud once as a dhyāna verse before pūjā or any ritual opening • Recite softly as japa to cultivate focus before study or work • Use at the start of a new undertaking to remember Ganesha first • Chant individually or in groups during Ganesha-related observances SPIRITUAL BENEFITS (TRADITIONAL UNDERSTANDING) • Supports centeredness and steadiness at the start of tasks • Cultivates confidence and auspicious intention when facing obstacles • Strengthens bhakti toward Ganesha through dhyāna of his form and qualities • Encourages remembrance of “maheśvaraputra,” honoring the father-lineage in devotion • Invokes Ganesha’s protective grace as Vighneśa in Purāṇic understanding • Traditionally aligned with the practice of beginning rites with Vināyaka pūjā • Benefits are based on traditional belief and general Purāṇic teaching, not a specific phala-śruti for this short verse MANTRA TEXT मूषिकवाहन मोदकहस्त । चामरकर्ण विलम्बितसूत्र । वामनरूप महेश्वरपुत्र । विघ्नविनायक पाद नमस्ते ॥ TRANSLITERATION mūṣikavāhana modakahasta | cāmarakarṇa vilambitasūtra | vāmanarūpa maheśvaraputra | vighnavināyaka pāda namaste || MEANING (CONCISE) O Ganesha, rider of the mouse, holder of modakas, with ears like chowrie-fans and a hanging sacred thread, small in form and son of Maheśvara—O Vināyaka who removes obstacles, I bow at your feet.
