Lord Ganesha is known as Vighnaharta ( Remover of Obstacles ) and is worshipped first before any auspicious ritual or ocassion. He is ever-blissful and is lovingly worshipped by millions of people worldwide. The son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Shree Ganesha, is the God of good luck and auspiciousness and is the dispeller of problems and obstacles. We worship Lord Ganesha with green grass called "Darbha". Lord Ganesha is said to be the form of Omkara. In Om, the upper arc is said to be the face of Lord Ganesha. The lower arc is his belly. The twisted arc which is on the right side of the Om is his trunk. Thus Omkara represents the complete physical form of Lord Ganesha. As every recital starts with an Omkara, all rituals too start only after praying Lord Ganesha, otherwise it is believed that the ritual does not reach to a logical end. The word Ganesha is made up of Gana (people) and Isha (lord). People worship Lord Ganesha with various other names like Vignaharta, Ashtavinayaka, Ekadanta, Gajanana, Vakratunda and Ganpati.
Ganesha is also represented as the source of all wisdom and knowledge. When students begin studies in school, the first thing they learn is a Ganesha mantra so they can chant the mantra when they are doing tests and preparing for their exams in order to try to get Ganesha's help to do well in school. It is great that kids learn that. I wish students would learn that way in the West, to learn in all activties to appeal to God. But, ultimately, the knowledge and intelligence that Ganesha represents is not terrestrial, book knowledge. His knowledge is spiritual.! ✨🐘🕉🙏🏻🌈🌀✨🌷
Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah ✨🐘🕉🙏🏻🌈🌀✨🌷
