This review is from: Vishnu Sahasranama/thousand ways to transcendental (Paperback)
The Vishnu Sahasranama is a very long and difficult mantra written in Sanskrit. It is part of chapter 149 of the longest epic poem written: The Mahabarata. Here while laying on his death bed, Bhisma (The grandsire/grandfather) instructs Yudhistara this 1000 names and how this mantra is the most powerful mantra to resolve all of lifes problems and achieve salvation. Onlooking was Lord Krishna and Ved Vyasa (the scribe of the Mahabarata). Once you understand the full story the full depth and beauty of the Mantra comes to life.
I've been looking for a text that would fully cover each of the meanings of the 1000 names of Lord Vishnu. This text has done exactly that and more. It breaks down the names, translates it and even goes beyond and goes into deeper meaning of how this name came into being. I suggest anyone who has keen interest and devotion to this Strotram (Hymn) that they use this book to understand each meaning. It is transliterated with Sanskrit text, so even one who does not know how to read Sanskrit and fare quite well. It may take a lifetime to fully recite the Vishnu Sahasranama, but we have to do our part and this books helps a great deal. Hari Om Tat Sat. |
