SRI GANESA NAMAVALI
INTRODUCTION
Sri Ganesa Namavali is considered as very sacred among all other Namavalis of the deities, since Lord Ganesa is considered as the first and foremost god in our Holy Hinduism. As per Puranas, before undertaking a particular task, even the divine deities used to worship Lord Vinayaka by chanting his Namavalis, and then only they would be able to succeed in their tasks. The great Sage Purushundi, Ma Avvaiyar and Vallallan had attained the lotus feet of Lord Vinayaka, after they sincerely chanted Sri Ganesa Namavalis for several millions of times in their lives.
The importance of Ganesa can be known fully by reading about him from the holy Vinayaka Purana. Lord Vinayaka holds the entire universe on his belly, and he is considered to be the first and foremost god, who exists even before the creation of the universe. As per legend, he was born to Ma Parvati, only after she sincerely prayed to him in order to be born as her son. Lord Vinayaka is also praised fondly by his devotees, like, Anaimugathavane, which means elephant faced god, and Aingarathane, which means the Lord Vinayaka contains five arms, which includes even his tusk.
