Ganesha is remembered before commencement of any auspicious activity.

Do you know the story behind this ie as to why Lord Shiva ordained that

its necessary to chant and worship Ganesha at the time of commencement

of puja etc?

 

Both Kartikeya and Ganesha were competing with each other as to who

will first complete three rounds of the world and come back to Lord

Shiva and Maa Parvati.Karthikeya went ahead to complete the three

rounds while Ganesha took three rounds of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati

and then offered obeisances to them. On being asked by them he said

that you are the world.So Lord Shiva said-whoever commences any

auspicious activity must remember your name ie worship you if they want

the work to be completed without any vighan/obstruction
