Meaning of Vishnu Sahasranama

[Guest guest]

Dear Jagannath da,

I am taken aback by your statement that Vishnu Sahasranama has no meaning !

Can't believe that of all, u will say such a thing !!

Every single name denotes a certain dynamics of creation whose original germplasm

is known as Vishnu. Just like from a grain-sprout one full tree springs up, similary when Vishnu, the original seed, sprouted ( depicted by Lotus coning out of his navel) the entire creation came into existence. Thus, its all dynamics are associated with Vishnu.

"Sahasra" or thousand here doesn't mean just 1000 but "MANY / INNUMERABLE".

Contemplation on each term reveals a particular dynamics in creation. This is on a spiritual /yogic level, not on mere

intellectual level.

Shankaracharya has given a beatiful insight on the Vishnu Sahasranama which can be accessed at :

Shri Brijesh ji can and read.

Well..ahem..I did not mean to say exactly that !! What I meant was that it is not like any other sloka so that we need to translate it from sanskrit to english to know what it means. I have also written that each name has a particular vibration.

Regards,

Jagannath.
