Shri Gajanan Maharaj always used to chant the Mantra- Gan Gan Ganat Bote<br /><br />First Gan means Count, Individual soul,<br /><br />Second Gan means a devotee, who is not different from Brahma<br /><br />And to suggest it the word ganat is used. Bote appears to be a corrupt form of Bate Meaning, “Individual soul is brahma himself “.<br />
