“Vinayakar Agaval” is a very powerful Ganesh Mantra Hymn composed by the great lady saint Avvaiyar who was a great devotee of Lord Ganesh and who received great blessings from Lord Ganesh.
The mantra is recited slowly so that even people not familiar with Indian languages can learn it (reasonably) easily.
The most important benefit of Vinayagar Agaval is that it explains Kundalini Yoga and self-esteem. Vinayagar Agaval is religious song dedicated to Lord Ganesh containing 72 lines and each line explains the facts of human life.
Learn this mantra and chant it daily as part of your Ganesh Worship.
