Chanting the 108 names of Lord Ganesha is part of the traditional daily worship called a Puja. It is called the Vighnesvarashtottara Satanamavalih or "garland of Ganesa's 108 names". The names are attributes of the Diety, each one delineating an aspect of His infinite and indescribable nature.
Each name is preceded by the mantra Aum (Om) and followed by namah (Namaha) meaning "obeisance, praise, adoration," or "homage" to.
