Why Laxmi and Ganesh are worshiped Together?
Lord Ganesha is considered God of wisdom, intellect, success and prosperity. Goddess Lakshmi is the Goddess of fortune. Why are Lakshmi and Ganesha worshiped together?
What is wealth without prosperity? What is money without the wisdom to use it properly? Will all the material gains in the world be permanent without intelligence? Can anybody attain any great prosperity without removing the obstacles on the path?
Qualities of Goddess Lakshmi and Ganesha are complementary so our custom requires us to worship both of them together. This reminds us that we don’t have to aim only for material wealth but also have to aim for prudence and wisdom.
Lord Ganesh who is the lord of people (gana) removes various hurdles so that his devotees progress towards their aim (Lakshya); material prosperity (Labha) and spiritual successes.
There are Ganesha, Lakshmi and Sarasvati Statues sitting together. These are worshiped together in Hindu methodology for Health, Wealth, Prosperity and Luck.
