Sri Krishnaya Namah!

I have been looking for meaning of the sloka -- "Shuklambaradaram Vishnum 
shashivarnam............." As I can deduce nowhere in this sloka there is 
mention of Vinayaka, while there is a mention of Lord Vishnu. One of my 
acquintances (who is a purohit) also told me that this sloka is actually 
addressed to Lord Vishnu.

If this is for Vinayaka, then do we have any such sloka for Lord 
Vishwaksena, which is chanted before starting any auspicious deeds.


Sukumar

Sri Krishnaparabrahmane Namah!

Subject:        Re: the meaning of pranavam

dear sir,
iam grateful for your apt replt to the meaning of pranavam(aum or ohm)
i am thinking in this way.
ohm is the begining of all,including brahma,vishnu and shivan.it is
this shakti which makes all gods do their functions like brahma does
the job of producing,vishnu does the job of protecting and shiva does
the job of destroying. all the three take their orders by yogic
power. as lord krishna says in geetha after he shows the virata
roopam. he says he could show this because of the yogic power he has
and all that is possible because he is an avatar of vishnu.

in sandyavandanam we invoke this ohm after doing achamanam and
ganpathi dhiyanam.shuklam paradharam vishnum sasivarnam
chathurbhujam,prasanna vadanam dhiyayeth sarva vikhnoba shanthayedh.
in doing pranayamam we invoke the ohmkaram

i do not know if iam correct.the learned may guide me.

balaji
