Ganapathi Shodasha namavali

It is said that you are not supposed to see the 4th waxing moon - 4 aam pirai after amavasai. That is because Lord Chandra got a Shaapam from Daksha Prajapathi. So Vinayaka said, whoever sees you on this day will be excluded from any bad omens or anything bad happenning if the following sloka is chanted.

 Chanting the 16 names of Ganesha either as a sloka or doing archanai using Dhurva - Arukampul gives a lot of benefits including erasing fear, victory, blessings and lot more.
