Avahana mantras are invocations to invite different aspects of the divine to be present and experiential. At Yoga Vidya, avahana mantras are often recited before meditation, at the beginning of homa and puja, and sometimes before lectures.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Oh Ganesha, remove all obstacles so that we may begin with great joy. Oh Sharavanabhava, give us strength and power so that we may continue even when it becomes difficult. Oh Saraswati, give us wisdom and deep intuition. Oh Guru, oh Swami Sivananda, please guide us. Oh Adishakti, you primordial force, bless us and grant that we may do much good.
