We have chanted many mantras for various purposes. Sanskrit Mantras are seed syllables carrying powerful sound energy to influence our presence, align our mind, body and soul through balancing the chakras, our body’s energy centers. When we start a new venture, wish to remove all obstacles, Ganesh Mantra is to chant.
Usually when we chant mantras we do 108 times. the Powerful meaning of 108:
1 = the Oneness, Wholeness of all things, first seed of the creation
0 = emptiness, the limitless, origin of All
8 = the Eternity, the Union of the Manifestation and Unmanifestation, the Wholeness, the Oneness

Om gam ganapataye namaha!

A very loose translation:
Om = Oh, the Original Divine Force
Gam = The secret power sound of Ganesh. It is his “seed syllable”.
Ganapataye = The breaker of obstacles, another name of Ganesh,
Namaha = Yo! Ganesh! we salute to you!
LET IT BE TRUE!
