The work being done is getting spoiled again and again: Do these surefire remedies of Lord Ganesha on Wednesday, all obstacles will be removed and good luck will shine.


Many times such situations arise in human life when despite complete honesty, dedication and tireless hard work, any important task undertaken is not completed on time. Work in progress suddenly gets spoiled at the last moment, unexpected financial obstacles start appearing in business or obstacles start appearing again and again in job and career. According to Vedic astrology, when the position of nine planets in a person’s birth chart becomes unbalanced or Mercury, the planet responsible for intelligence, prudence and decision-making ability, and Saturn, the provider of karma, have an unfavorable aspect, then there are continuous obstacles in life. In such complex times, worshiping the first revered Lord Shri Ganesha among the Adi-Panchdevs of the Sanatan tradition is considered as fruitful as the Kalpavriksha. According to well-known Vedic astrologer Chandresh Sharma of Astropatri, Lord Ganesha has been described as ‘Vighnaharta’ in the scriptures, which directly means the God who removes all types of obstacles, defects and calamities. Some specific Vedic remedies for Ganpati performed with devotion not only pacify the inauspicious planetary defects of the horoscope but also provide the person with the right spiritual energy and right direction for accomplishment.

In astrology, Wednesday of the week is considered dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and Mercury, the lord of speech, intelligence and business. If any of your work is pending for a long time, then after taking bath on Wednesday morning at sunrise, wear clean green or yellow colored clothes and sit in front of the idol or picture of Lord Ganesha facing east. After this, after taking a symbolic bath with Ganga water and Panchamrit, offer 21 bales of green Durva (Doob grass) to Lord Ganesha with devotion. While offering each lump of Durva, clearly pronounce the mantra ‘Om Gan Ganapataye Namah’ or ‘Om Vakratundaya Hum’. According to mythological beliefs, at the time of killing the demon Analasur, when there was a burning sensation in the stomach of Lord Ganesha, sage Kashyap calmed that burning sensation by offering Durva to him. For this reason, Ganpati loves Durva very much and by offering 21 Durva every Wednesday, recession in business, lack of concentration in education and unnecessary delay in work starts going away immediately.

It is often seen that people’s work comes to a halt at the last moment or decisions are not taken for a long time in legal and court cases. From astrological point of view, this problem arises due to the slow movement of Shani Dev and his adverse aspect in the horoscope. To get rid of this problem, offering Shami leaves (Shami Patra) to Lord Ganesha is considered a sure shot solution. In botanical astrology, Shami tree is considered to be directly related to the planet Saturn. During the puja on Wednesday or Sankashti Chaturthi, wash fresh Shami leaves with water and offer them at the feet of Ganapati and make a humble prayer for fulfillment of your wishes and removal of all obstacles from the path. When Shami Patra is coordinated with the power of Lord Ganesha, the cruel or dull influence of Saturn starts ending immediately and long pending projects, property disputes and career obstacles start ending automatically.

Special rules for Prasad and Naivedya to please Lord Ganesha are also mentioned in the scriptures. Modak is considered a symbol of ecstasy and cosmic knowledge, hence offering Modak is very dear to Lord Ganesha. Along with this, in the traditional Vedic tradition, offering whole coriander and pure local jaggery to Ganpati is considered extremely auspicious. Lord Ganesha is the presiding deity of planet Mercury in astrology, and planet Mercury is considered to be directly responsible for business profits, eloquence (communication), banking, accounts and intelligence. After the puja on Wednesday, mix pure jaggery and coriander in a bronze or silver vessel and offer it to Ganapati and later distribute it among the family members as Prasad. By offering this regularly, financial difficulties in business are removed, sweetness and attractiveness of speech increases and one gets relief from losses in business decisions.

If you constantly feel that someone’s evil eye has fallen on your home, family or workplace or there is discord and unrest in the family due to unknown negative energy, then the solution of the root of white figure proves to be a panacea. In Botany and Tantra Shastra, the figure plant, also called Mandar, is considered to be the embodiment of Lord Shiva and Ganesha. On any auspicious Nakshatra like Ravi Pushya or Guru Pushya or on Wednesday, bring the root of the Datika plant after ritually inviting it and after purifying it with Ganga water, worship it with Roli, Akshat and Durva. Tie this blessed root in a red or yellow silk cloth and install it at the main entrance of your house or establishment. According to Vastu Shastra, due to the presence of Mandar root at the main door, any kind of negative waves, tantric defects and evil eye are not able to enter the house, which ensures continuous arrival of happiness, prosperity and wealth in the house.
