Before
starting the puja proper, it is essential to contemplate
Mahaaganapati 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.
