A Prayer To Begin The Day
Prayers can be said in any language. In addition to traditional prayers, such as sanskrit mantras and slokas or devotional hymns like thevarams and bhajans, you can also create your own personal prayer in the language of your choice. Following is an example of a simple English prayer to Lord Ganesha that children can say when they wake up.
First teach them the following mantra to Lord Ganesha three times while visualizing Lord Ganesha.
Om Sri Ganeshaaya Namaha (say 3 times)
Then they read the following passage.
Dear Lord Ganesha,
Thank you for giving me this beautiful day and my wonderful family.
I ask of you Lord Ganesha, that you keep me and my family safe and well today. I promise to be the best person that I can be today. I will listen to my parents and be good and helpful to everyone.
Please help me with my studies and my chores.
Thank you very much dear Lord Ganesha. Please bless me and my family always.
