Dear All,
OM NAMO NARAYANA
By the Grace of Lord Vishnu & our beloved Baba. We are happy to announce the start of a new Phase of Parayan on “
Vishnu Sahasranama” starting from 27th September, 2014". The parayana will be held on
every Saturdays.
Purpose: Healing the life of members who are in deep pain & those who are going through the toughest times in their lifes
The
Vishnu Sahasranama group will pray for that specific devotee/devotees on the specific day by chanting all the slokas (Includes 108 Slokas + Phalashruti)
Description Vishnu Sahasranama is one of the most sacred and commonly chanted shlokas to contact the Divine within for peace and harmony. Reciting it daily, not only increases the spiritual energies inside the body, but also helps in balancing and cleansing the mind and other subtle chakra systems of the body. We should always remember that good health is not only having a clean body; but also having a clean mind too. It also brings unwavering calm of mind, complete freedom from stress and brings eternal knowledge unknowingly and effortlessly.
Meaning Vishnu Sahasranama literally means "the thousand names of Lord Maha Vishnu". In Sanskrit, “sahasra means thousand and naama means names”. Lord Mahavishnus’ 1,008 names each applauding & praising one of His countless great attributes. ‘vishnu-vishwe anu anuunam tishtati iti vishnu’ meaning the One who is present in every atom in the creation. In Vishnusahasranama, apart from the initial and concluding prayers it has a total of 108 shlokas in anushtup chanda (a meter of poetry).
In religious Hindu tradition, a devotee should daily chant the Upanishads, Gita, Rudram, Purusha Sukta, Devi Mahatmyam and Vishnu sahasranama. If one cannot do all this on any day, it is said that chanting Vishnusahasranama alone is sufficient. Vishnusahasranama has no restrictions and can be chanted irrespective of gender at any time, any place.
“Shirdi Sai Baba, commentating on the merits of Vishnusahasranama (Ref Chapter XXVII of “Shri Sai Satcharitra”) says reciting it will ward off any illness and dangers in life and also protects you all the time.”
"One day, while the Ramadasi was reading the Vishnu Sahasranam, Baba sent him out on an errand. He obeyed Baba and stopped the Parayan in the middle. After the Ramdasi left, Baba took the Vishnu Sahasranam book of the Ramdasi and gave it to Shama, saying, “Oh Shama ! this book is very valuable and efficacious; so I present it to you, you read it. Once, I suffered intensely and my heart began to palpitate and my life was in danger. At that critical time, I hugged this book to my heart and then, O Shama ! What a relief it gave me ! I thought that Allah Himself came down and saved me. So, I give this book to you; read it slowly, little by little, read daily one name at least and it will do you good.”
“Bheeshma answered that whoever brought you in here, is the greatest Lord and he is the one to whom anyone must surrender. He added that meditating on His 1008 names, one can reach the auspicious state and get rid of Bhandas and Karmas. Having said this, he continued saying the 1008 names of Lord Vishnu. This part of Mahabharat is called Vishnu Sahasranamam.”Other Benefits• Attaining Peace of Mind as well for Global Peace.
