Sage Mudgal has written the Ganesha sahastranam containing the thousand Names of Shri Ganesha.

🕉 Sage Mudgal has written the Ganesha sahastranam containing the thousand Names of Shri Ganesha. The Dwadashanam shloka contains the twelve Names of Shri Ganapati –

Vakratunda, Ekadanta, Krushnapingaksha, Gajavaktra, Lambodar, Vikata, Vighnarajendra, Dhumravarna, Bhalachandra, Vinayak, Ganapati and Gajanan.

🕉 Vakratunda ~ Generally, Vakratunda means one with a curved, crooked mouth or trunk; however, this is incorrect. According to the Sanskrut saying ‘वक्रान्तुण्डयतिइतिवक्रतुण्डः।’, meaning ‘Vakratunda, is one who punishes those following a crooked (meaning, unrighteous) path and thereby brings them onto the straight (meaning, righteous) path.’ Vakratunda, therefore is the one who straightens the tiryak and visphutit, meaning, the crooked Raja-Tama predominant 360 waves through the medium of His trunk and makes them straight, sattvik (Sattva-predominant) like the 108 waves.

🕉 Shri Vakratunda Mahakaya is a popular Ganesha Mantra to invoke the benevolent Lord's blessings. "Vakratunda Mahakaya" is one of the most popular Ganesh mantras recited by Hindu devotees. It describes Lord Ganesha as one with a curved trunk and a mighty body, who has the magnificence of a million suns. Ganesha is also the most widely worshipped deities amongst the Hindus and He is believed to be the remover of obstacles from our lives. Shree Vakratunda Mahakaya is one of the most loved prayers to Ganesha- We salute the Supreme Lord Ganesha of the curved trunk ( Vakratunda ), whose radiance is like a million suns, may he bless all our endeavors and remove obstacles from our path.

🕉श्री वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्य कोटी समप्रभा

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्व-कार्येशु सर्वदा।।

🕉Shree Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha
Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvada ||

Meaning :- "O lord with the twisted trunk, with the effulgence of a billion suns, always remove the obstacles when I am on an auspicious undertaking."
