Ganapati Atharvashirsha - Om Namaste Ganapataye - ATHARVASHIRSHA

The Ganapati Atharvashirsa (गणपत्यर्थवशीर्ष, Gaṇapatyarthavaśīrṣa) is a Hindu scripture dedicated to the god Ganesha. It is a late Upanishad that celebrates Ganesha as the ultimate Brahman. The scripture asserts its own status as an upanishad in its final line, which reads "Thus, the Śrī Gaṇapati Atharvaśīrṣa Upanishad"; śrīgaṇapatyatharvaśīrṣopaniṣad). It is also referred to as the Sri Ganapati Atharva Sirsha, the Ganapati Atharvashirsha, the Ganapati Atharvasirsa, or the Ganapati Upanishad.

It is the most widely recited Sanskrit text among devotees of Ganesha in Maharashtra. The entire text is written over the entrance to the temple hall in the aṣṭavināyaka Ganesha shrine at Ranjangaon. Ghurye notes its emergence in the early 19th century, corresponding to the rise of the Ganapati worship in Maharashtra among Brahmins centered in Pune, but the text is probably somewhat older, dating to the 17th or 18th century; it is not part of the Muktikā canon of 108 Upanishads compiled in the mid-17th century, but it was mentioned c. 1800 by Upanishad Brahmayogin in his commentary on the Muktika canon. The text associates itself with the Atharvaveda, in a passage that Chinmayananda translates as "Thus says Atharvana" (इत्यथर्वणवाक्यम्; ityatharvaṇavākyam).
