Vadanam Dhyaaye Sarva Vighnopashaantaye/ Laabhasteshaam Jayatyeshaam Shuklaambaradharam Vishnum Shashi Varnam Chaturbhujam, Prasanna There is no way one can convince oneself that the Sloka is related to Ganapaty unless one sees the scriptural reference.įrom the Vishnu Sahasranama found in the Skanda Purana-Avantya Khanda In Him is situated the universe with diverse kinds of Gods, men, birds, cattle, serpents, gandharvas and daityas (demons)- all sporting in a charming way.įinally seem to get a satisfactory answer to the question as well as the scriptural source for the Sloka.Īlso,as anyone can see,its not surprising that the Sloka can very well be mistaken for a Sloka of Vishnu. Directions are His ears, and the Heaven is His head. Wind is His breath, and the Sun and the Moon are His eyes. The Earth is His feet, and the sky His navel. I bow to Lord vishNu who has the three worlds as His body.

His another name is Vinayak which also means remover of obstacles. Even the omniscient Ganesa took a moment to consider while Vyasa, however, continued to compose other verses in great abundance."ģ) Removal of obstacles : Ganesh is famously known for removal of obstacles.

Here is also a verse of Mahabharat which tells Ganesh is omniscient. This is also first sloka of Vishnu Sahasranaam.Įveryone knows Ganesh is omniscient. "I meditate upon delightful face of four handed Lord Vishnu who wears yellow clothes, who is of dark blue complexion and who removes all obstacles"Ģ) I meditate upon delightful face of that four handed Omniscient (all pervading) Lord who wears white clothes and is of white complexion and who removes all obstacles.ġ) Ganesha is generally first invoked in every ceremony. It should have been like this to exactly fit: This description doesn't so much fits with Lord Vishnu.
(Both Lord Vishnu and Lord Ganesh have power to remove obstacles)ġ) I meditate upon delightful face of four handed Lord Vishnu who wears white clothes, who is of white complexion and who removes all obstacles. Sarva Vighnopasantaye= All + obstacle + pacifier (remover) (Both Lord Vishnu and Lord Ganesh have delightful face) After the dhyan shlokam of Vishnu Sahasranaamam Lord Vishnu is called Meghavarnam Subhangamīoth Lord Vishnu and Lord Ganesh have four hands. Vishnu is depicted as मेघवर्णम्( Meghavarnam) ie, Whose colour is like raining cloud ie, dark blue complexion. विष्णुं = Lord Vishnu / All pervading, Omniscient Vishnu is especially called पीताम्बरम् (Pitamvaram) Prasanna vadanam dhyayet sarva bighnopashantaya ||" "shuklamvaram dharam vishnum sashivarnam chaturvujam |
