It is believed that if a devotee chants or hears the 'Ganesh Shodasa Nama Stotram' and remembers the names of Ganesha, then he would not face any obstructions or hindrances during the departure or return from a journey; during the commencement of education and examination; during combats or conflicts; during marriage ceremoney or any other affair.  The person will also receive the blessings of Lord Ganesha and attain success.
