Mumbai: Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom, is revered as the first to be worshipped before the start of any ritual or auspicious work. No ceremony in Hindu tradition begins without invoking his blessings, as he is believed to pave the way for success, peace and prosperity. Chanting the sacred names of Ganesh Ji is said to bring spiritual strength and remove hurdles from life.

According to scriptures, Lord Shiva granted a special boon to his son, Lord Ganesha, that in every prayer or puja, he would be remembered first. This divine blessing made Ganapati the pratham pujya (the first to be worshipped) in every ritual. For devotees, reciting the 108 names of Ganesh Ji is considered highly auspicious, as each name embodies a unique aspect of his power, compassion and wisdom.
