Lord Ganesha is Lord of Obstacles, creating difficulties and obstructions if the time is wrong for us to proceed and removing those same obstacles when our success is assured.

Worshipping Lord Ganesha everyday is one of the best ways to assure that your day is filled with success, happiness, love and peace.

There are two ways to do this.

  1. Worshipping a specific form of Lord Ganesha based on the tithi (lunar day)
  2. Worshipping a specific form of Lord Ganesha based on the nakshatra (lunar mansion) of the Moon in transit.

Based on Tithi

Tithi in Jyotish is the lunar day. It is one of the most important limbs of the Panchang (Almanac). It is based on the relationship between the Sun and the Moon.

The waxing phase of the Moon is called Shukla paksha and the waning phase of the Moon is called Krishna paksha. Each paksha has 15 tithis associated with them.

There is a specific form of Lord Ganesha associated with each of the 15 tithis.

Worshipping or honoring the form of Lord Ganesha based on the tithi can ensure smooth relationships, communication and can bring love and happiness in your life.
