Dear friends,
The first sloka of Sahasranamam invokes Narayana. Vishwaksena is the
Commander in Chief of Narayana, there is a sub temple for Vishwaksena in the
second prakara of the Srirangam Temple. To equate Vishwaksena with Ganapathi
is an aberration and a lie which has been perpetuated. The second sloka
quoted is not found in any text of the Sahasranamam and is obviously an
interpolation.
Satakopan.
