Invoking Ganesh

Why do we invoke Lord Ganesh before beginning something important or auspicious? Traditionally known as Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles, Ganesh also represents wisdom to recognise whether an obstacle should be overcome or understood. The symbolism encourages clarity, preparedness and purposeful action, making Shri Ganeshaya Namah not just a prayer for success but a reminder to align intention, purpose and action with awareness.
