Lord Ganesha the most prominent deities in Hinduism has the unique distinction that his name is always invoked before any other God's name in any prayer service.

The primary objective of this mantra is to bestow success and to have all obstacles removed from your path. Thus, this mantra is the starting point of all new projects, rituals, ceremonies and prayers. Any new work, project or event, is generally begun with an acknowledgment of Lord Ganesha to ask for success, and often the mantra is used for that prayer.
