Who Lord Ganesha is
Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, prayed to first before any undertaking.
Two beads belong to him. The 8 Mukhi is given to Ganesha and to Rahu, and it is worn for clearing obstacles and steadying a scattered mind. The Ganesh Rudraksha is a bead with a raised ridge on its surface that resembles his trunk; it is valued for that shape, not for its count of lines.
