Before
starting the puja proper, it is essential to contemplate
Mahaganapati to assure ourselves that no obstacles interfere with a
smooth performance of the puja rituals. Thus, with folded hands
chant the following:
Karishyamaanasya karmanaha nirvigghnena Parisamaaptyarttham
Aadhou mahaaganapati smaranam karishye
So that the ceremonies we are about to undertake proceed to completion without any obstacles, we contemplate on Mahaganapati
Similarly the gruhadevata, i.e. the family Godhead, needs to be invoked as He/She is ever present bestowing protection to the family at all times. Chant as follows:
Gruha devataam ddhyayaami
Ddhyaanam samarpayaami
I respectfully contemplate our family Godhead.
