"sukhlam bharadaram ...." appears as prelude to vishnu saharanamam(in the 
poorva bhagam). But no where the second stanza addressing Vinayaka/gajanana 
appears in it . In fact it is followed either by a stanza addressing 
vishwaksena(yasya dviradavaktradhya parisadyah....) or Vyasa(vyasam vasista 
naptharam....). From these, we can easily infer that "Shuklam bharadaram...." 
addresses the supreme vishnu/Narayana and only vishnu. The addition of the 
other stanza relating to vinayaka/gajanana is to mislead people by some 
unscrupulous elements. Sorry if this hurts someone's sentiments, but facts are 
facts and have to be taken at its face value.
