Goddess Parvati is supposed to have created an idol of the Little Boy, and then blown life into him, using him to guard her, protect her privacy, where the little boy following strict instructions, did not allow his father, Lord Shiva to enter his mother's chamber. And then as we all know there in a fit of rage, Lord Shiva beheaded the little boy, only to give him the head of an elephant and be party to co-creation of Lord Ganesha.
And then onwards this Elephant headed God made his way to the hearts of one and all firmly rooting their beliefs in him, as well as strengthening the root chakra ruled by planet mars.
The Pillayar Mantram, or Ganesh Mantram, come in varied formats, and basically strengthen our lives - purpose of living.
Chanting any of the ganapathy mantras will fill one up with strength and energy, and desire to live.
