*Significance of Lord Ganesha in life of Sadhaka*

Generally 2 kinds of fanatics are seen in religious society, those who are devotee of God(Lord Vishnu) they don't believe in worship of any other demigods and other kind is of those who consider all Gods are same. But the real spiritualist knows the position of the God and demigods, and he knows the art of respecting everyone. What to say of demigods but they don't disrespect even an ant.

1)As other demigods like lord shiva and brahma, Ganeshji's position is also important in spiritual societies. We all know the story when Vyasdev was searching for proper person who can write all the scriptures, he was told by Brahmdev to ask Ganesh. Ganeshji agreed one one condition that when he writes Vyasdev should not stop for a moment, Vyas also made condition asking him to write every word after understanding. Ganeshji agreed. Both continued their work of narrating and writing for 6 years. He contemplated  then agreed and followed whatever Vyas said. Similarly sadhakas also should make a habit of reading, contemplating and following the scriptures.  

2)Ganeshji helps devotees to fight with the difficulties in spiritual life. We find in scriptures even some of the gopis worshipped Ganeshji. Sadhakas also can pray to him for his blessing to overcome difficulties, Ganeshji also sometimes called as incharge of intelligence or understanding, so we can ask from him that thing also so in better way we can understand scriptures written by him.

3)When lord shiva first cut Ganesh's head due to his offence, he was headless, then to please Parvati lord shiva fixed the head of elephant and revived Ganeshji. Generally elephants are called as dull headed, but Ganeshji accepted it without any complaints and made best use of his head(apparently dull headed by used his head in most intelligent way) this shows the his attitude of making best use of bad bargain without getting disturbed by circumstances. So sadhakas also try to convert adversity into opportunity by keeping serving the Lord as the goal.
