Please read my post Six Systems by Shankaracharya.

He gave the primary importance to Ganapathya, tne Worship of Lord Ganesh.

The Composition Ganesha Pancharatnam is very potent and is well-known.

Where did Shankaracharya compose this?

Legend has it that he composed it in Aaiyirathu Enn Vinayaka Temple, Thoothukudi/Tuticorin District before proceeding to Trichendur for composing the Subramanya Bhujangam.

As a rule, all begin their routines, domestic or otherwise offering the first prayer to Lord Vinayaka.  People pray for removal of obstacles in wedding efforts, progress in education, for early settlements in litigation pending in courts, frequent repairs in vehicles leading to accidents.  People pray to Aayirathu Enn Vinayaka before starting any enterprise for auspicious results.

During the fourth century, a king Somara Vallaban brought 1008 Brahmins from the Narmada River region to conduct a Yajna.  Yet their number was short by one.  Lord Vinayaka appeared there in the guise of a Brahmin and helped completing the Yajna in order.  Hence, the Vinayaka is named Aayirathu Enn Vinayaka – 1008^th Vinayaka.  It is said that Vinayaka stayed in the Arumugamangalam village itself offered to him as Dakshina.
