The Many Faces of the Sacred,
By
This review is from: Thousand Names of Vishnu : A Selection with Commentary (Hardcover)
Many religious traditions adore the many names of God. In Vaishnava Hinduism, Vishnu is honored with hundreds of names. In this book, Easwaran explores over a hundred of these names with simple reflections. For each one, he gives the Sanskrit name and its translation, and then he writes a short piece about seeing that aspect of the sacred in everyday life. As is typical in Hinduism, there is a dizzying variety of names here, from BHUTA-KRIT ("The Support of All Creatures") to KESHAVA ("He Who Has Beautiful Hair"). Vishnu is LAKSHMI ("Good Fortune") as well as BHAGA-HA ("Destroyer of Good Fortune"). Easwaran's reflections are helpful in appreciating the presence of the Sacred throughout the full spectrum of experiences in everyday life. This book is a magical tour of the archetypal manifestations of the Sacred.
