Ganesh Mantra Jap (गणेश मंत्र जप) is the sacred practice of repeatedly chanting mantras dedicated to Lord Ganesha (भगवान गणेश) — the elephant-headed deity revered as Vighnaharta (विघ्नहर्ता, remover of obstacles), Pratham Pujya (प्रथम पूज्य, worshipped first before all other deities), and the lord of wisdom, success, and new beginnings.
Known by many names — Ganapati (गणपति), Vinayaka (विनायक), Lambodara (लम्बोदर), Ekadanta (एकदन्त), and Siddhivinayak (सिद्धिविनायक) — Lord Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The Ganesh Purana, Mudgala Purana, and the celebrated Ganapati Atharvashirsha describe Ganesha as the supreme reality, the source of all creation, and the deity who must be invoked before any auspicious undertaking.
