Lord Ganesha ji

Ganesha is regarded as the lord of the earth, just as Vishnu is the lord of Vaikuntha, the abode of Vishnu, and Shiva of Mount Kailash.

According to legend, Ganesha was born from the peeled-off waste that his mother, Goddess Parvati, rubbed off from her body one day, before taking her This goes to show that Ganesha is associated with the element of earth. For this reason, priests use a lump of earth in lieu of an image of Ganesha during certain rituals. 

It is strongly believed that no human effort on earth is successful without the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Hence, he is propitiated before launching any new venture.

Another reason to appease Ganesha first is that all human thoughts are expressed in the naad-bhasha or the language of words, but the language of gods, goddess and deities who live in the astral world is prakash-bhasha or the language of light. Ganesha is said to convert the naad-bhasha of human beings into the prakash-bhasha of the Divine so that human thoughts may reach the gods. Hence, he is worshipped first. 

As the ruler of earth, Ganesha rules over the ten directions called disha.

No divine power can descend on earth without his consent. It is believed that when Lord Ganesha’s idols are immersed after ten days of puja, he carries away with him all the misfortunes of his devotees. 

Ganesha ji has two wives—Riddhi and Siddhi—and two sons—Shubha And Labha.

People often write his sons’ names on their accounts books , door etc.
