 Do you know why lord Ganesha always worshipped first.......

The mythology behind Ganesha being worshipped first:

According to Indian mythology, two stories are considered the reason behind lord Ganesha worshipped before any other lord on auspicious occasions. 

The first one is where goddess Parvati orders little Ganesha to guard her chambers while she is inside. Following the orders, little Ganesha stops Lord Shiva from entering the rooms, which infuriated the god, and he ends up cutting the head of Ganesha.

When she finds Ganesha’s head slashed, Goddess Parvati becomes enraged and warns to annihilate the whole creation. Seeing this, Lord Shiva then replaces Lord Ganesha’s head with that of a baby elephant, blessing him to be worshipped before anyone.

As per the second mythological tale, there was a race between Lord Ganesha and his elder brother Lord Karthikeya. Both were asked to go around the world, and whoever comes back first will be the winner. The winner receives the gift of immortality and knowledge. While Lord Karthikeya begins his race thinking Ganesha is slow and will never be able to come first, Ganesha went around his parents, stating that they indeed meant the world to him.

Impressed by his love for the parents and intelligence in winning the race, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati blessed him with the fruit of Knowledge along with that of immortality. This is the reason why we seek blessing from ineffably charming lord Ganesha before beginning anything new. Place Ganesha Idols on the entrance to invite prosperity.....
