Revered as Prathampujya — the one who must be worshipped first before any other deity — Lord Shree Ganesha’s importance in rituals and daily prayers is unmatched. But have you ever wondered why this special title was bestowed upon him? Let’s delve into this captivating story that highlights the wisdom and devotion of Lord Shree Ganesha, and understand why he is the first to be invoked in every auspicious occasion.
The Cosmic Challenge – A Race of Divine Proportions
Long ago, in the celestial realms, a grand competition was held among all the Gods. The challenge was simple yet profound: whoever could complete three rounds of the universe first would be honored as the most revered deity, the one to be worshipped first before any other divine being.
With excitement and confidence, the Gods mounted their mighty vehicles — the vahanas — and set off on their journey around the vast cosmos. Among them was Lord Kartikeyan, the fierce warrior, riding his peacock, confident that his speed would win him the title.

The Divine Strategy of Lord Shree Ganesha
But Lord Shree Ganesha, whose vehicle was a small mouse, knew that he could not compete in the race of speed. Instead of rushing through the cosmos, he decided to take a path that was both wise and full of devotion. Lord Shree Ganesha calmly circled around his parents, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, three times. When questioned about this, Lord Shree Ganesha explained, “My parents are my entire universe. By circling around them, I have completed going around the universe.”
This profound act of wisdom and love for his parents convinced Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati that Lord Shree Ganesha had won the challenge. His victory was not just based on speed but on the power of intellect and devotion.
Lord Kartikeyan’s ( Lord Murugana ) Victory : A Physical Race, But a Spiritual Lesson
Meanwhile, Lord Kartikeyan completed the physical race and was the first to return. However, when the Gods gathered, it became clear that his victory, though impressive in terms of speed, was only on the surface. Lord Shree Ganesha’s approach, rooted in wisdom and love, was recognized as superior.
Despite reaching first in the physical race, Lord Kartikeyan came second in the eyes of the Gods due to the deeper meaning of Lord Shree Ganesha’s actions. Thus, Lord Shree Ganesha was declared the Prathampujya, the one to be worshipped first in every ritual and auspicious work.
