2. As youngsters, we often faced this question of why should we
pray before every action!
Let us see the purport of Ganesh prayers.
SHRI GANESHAAYA NAMAH
Meaning and purport:
I offer my prayers to Lord Shri Ganesh, who is the God of
self realization.
The meaning of the expression “God of self realization” is
very interesting and profound. In the nature there are
various divine ‘powers’ or ‘energies’ and express or
manifest themselves in different forms. Lord Ganesh is the
source of the experience of enlightenment i.e. oneness with
the dynamic evolving essence of the inner and outer
environment!
It is therefore customary and appropriate to pray Lord
Ganesh; before starting any work, because; it reorients us to
accurate vision, decision, desire, intention, conviction and
effective action; referred to as; SWADHARMA.

3. Another prayer of Lord Ganesh:
VAKRATUNDA MAHAAKAAYA
SURYAKOTISAMAPRABHA
NIRVIGHNAM KURU ME DEVA
SARVAKARYESHU SARVADAA
Meaning and purport:
O Lord Ganesh with beautifully twisted trunk and gigantic
body; you are bright like billions of suns. Please endow me
with success in all my actions (implicitly; all actions be aimed
at individual and global welfare and complete fulfillment) by
overcoming all the difficulties from inside and outside.
Thus; the prayers of Ganesh; are intended to rise above
pettiness and prejudices; which pervert our behavior and
thereby our own and others’ health.
