About Ganapathi Atharvasheersha Havan:
This havan is prescribed in the Atharva Veda itself. Through the Ganapathi Atharvasheersha Mantra, we invoke the grace and blessings of Lord Ganesh ji so that all the obstacles are removed in our path to progress, we are bestowed with everything. This is one of the most effective spiritual remedies. This is also one of the best poojas one can do at least once in a year so that you don’t come across any sort of problems for the rest of the year. Ghee, Lajja, Dhurva grass, 1000 modakas, totally 10 varieties of dravyas are offered to Lord Ganapathi as holy fire oblations.
