Ithi maha ganapathy homa mantra:
After the purnahuti chanting of the Ganapathy Atarvasirsham is to be done
at this juncture to Maha ganapathy as a service. This also can be
performed as a homam with the individual stanzas being used as mantras
to be offered into the fire. It is deemed appropriate because of it's Vedic
origins. The sequence originates in the Atarvana Veda.
For the final oblation (Purnahuti) stand and link hands so that everyone
participating can also obtain the fruits of the Homa. Offer into the plate
holding the final oblation (preferably a silver plate, if none is available then
a copper plate can be used. Avoid using steel or stainless steel. If no
copper plate is available a clean brass plate is allowed) drops of ghee
chanting:

Ashtamam swaha : Navamam swaha : Dashamam swaha : Eka

The final oblation plate should hold the following items depending on what
items are available. The plate should hold, popcorn, fruit, a pomogranete
fruit, coconut (cracked and the water poured out) sugar candy, dates,
raisins, white sesame, little honey, goose berry, modakham (the sweet
meat that Ganesh holds in his hand) a ripe mango, jaggary, four pieces of
sugarcane, four bananas, woodapple. These items should be tied in a
bundle in a yellow piece of silk cloth.
The following purnahuti mantra should be chanted while the final oblation is
poured into the fire. From the Srk a continuous stream of ghee should fall
on the flames as the Rk covers the Srk. If the tilt of the Srk and Rk are
carefully controlled the continuous stream can be made without resorting to
refilling again and again.
