guru sakshaat para bramha, tasmai shree guravae...

54
Shree Ganesh Puja Each new activity or pooja is started by first worshipping and offering reverences to the holy God Lord Ganesha. He is invoked and called to preside over any worship or yagna, and only after this the other rituals are started. He is also the first to be worshipped during any auspicious event. Traditionally, every religious and auspicious function begins with worship of Lord Ganesh. No other god is equal in significance to Ganesh. The reason for this greater significance is that the word Ganesh is a form of Brahma and hence symbolizes Omkar. Ganesh is the Lord of Good Fortune who provides prosperity, fortune and success. He is the Lord of Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles of both material and spiritual kinds, He is also known as the destroyer of evils and the God of education, knowledge, wisdom, wealth and domestic harmony.
