Om Gam Gajavaktraaya Namah

 

Dear Vinay,

 

Yes, you are right. I checked up the Narada uvaca sankata nasana Ganesh Stotram and it is given as 'Gajavaktram' or the one with the elephants mouth.

 

Thank you for pointing out this error. I am copying this to the list as well.

 

regards

Hari

Dear Hari,

 

I'm reading your mail on forum where you have written

 

*Om Gam Gajavakraya Namah*

correct word is " Gajavaktraay "

as vakra means curved, bended,turning backword etc. and Vaktra = Mukha , or mouth/face.

So meaning will be Gaja+Vaktra = Having a face like elephant. If you use vakra meaning will be bended like elephant!!

 

Regards,
