Prayer, Japa and Spiritual Progress

When we worship Ganeśa or Lakshmī or other deities, we are in fact, worshipping saccidānanda in a given a form. If you recite the hundred names of Ganeśa or Lakshmī, any of these will refer to satyam jñānam anantam brahma. If God is manifest as the whole universe, then let all the actions performed be in the spirit of worship.
