Essay on Lord Ganesha

Ganesha is the elder son of the Mahadev Shiva. He is believed to be the leader of all the forces driven by Lord Shiva. He is always the first one to be worshipped before beginning any auspicious work or a praying service. He is said to be the lord of obstacles and impediments- The Vighnaraja. No one begins a new venture without worshipping the Lord Ganesha to invoke his blessings for well being and positive results. This is not followed while worshipping Lord Shiva, his father and the almighty of this universe.

This is because when a father is being worshipped, his son is included in the prayers of the father as the son is always found in the heart and mind of a father.

How he became the leader of all Gods?

It is believed that Lord Shiva wanted to appoint one of his sons as the head of other Gods. He gave both of them a challenge that whoever circles around the universe and reaches back first will be given the exalted position as the leader of Gods. Kartikey took to his peacock and started his journey while Ganesha stayed back and circled around his parents signifying them as his universe. Impressed by the innocence and devotion of Ganesha, Lord Shiva made him the leader of all gods.
