History of the Mantra

The mantra is an homage to Lord Ganesha. According to the ancient Shiva Purana, Lord Ganesh is the embodiment of Buddhi, Siddhi, and Riddhi - wisdom, spirituality, and prosperity.
In the same texts, Siddhi and Riddhi are personified as goddesses and are the consorts of Ganesha. This is alluded to in this mantra.
A chant invoking Ganesha is therefore about inspiring these qualities within us so that obstacles that seemed gigantic seem manageable.
