Arya Ganapati Mantra
Om Ah Gah Hum Phat Svaha

Lord Ganesha is the son of the Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. Lord Ganesha he was born with a human head, but beheaded by Lord Shiva during a misunderstood clash. 

His father Lord Shiva placed an elephant head in place of the human head, which was lost during the fight. 

Lord Ganesha is compassionately to be known as Arya Ganapati, Maha Rakta (The great red Lord of host or Ganas). According to Tibetan Buddhism, he is an emanation of Avalokitesvara ( In Sanskrit) Chenrezig (In Tibetan) Goddess Of Mercy Kuan Yin (In Chinese).

Arya Ganapati, who is in essence Chenrezig, manifested in this aspect to relieve the poverty of sentient beings. May I be able to obtain wealth and be able to eliminate all sentient beings' poverty, according to Dharma and poverty of the means of living, and the enjoyments, immediately. 

My kind root guru manifested in this aspect. I shall prostrate, offer incense, and generate infinite bliss. 
This is guided and praised by H.E. Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
