If you are venturing into any activity offer prayers first
to Ganesha and then offer prayers to Shiva. The most popular Shiva mantra for
success is:
Om Hrim Namah Shivaya –
This is the Shiva Shakti Panchakshari Mantra and it should be chanted
continuously for 43 days.
During this period performing charity and distribution of
clothes among poor are highly meritorious.
