The birth of Sri Vishnu Sahasra Nama - The 1008 Names of Sri Maha.
The legend would have it that at the end of the epic Mahabharata war, Bhishmacharya was awaiting the sacred hour to depart from his physical body unto the lotus feet of the Lord. Yudhishtira, the eldest of the Pandavas, was desperately looking for the answers to matters relating to Dharma and Karma.  Lord Sri Krishna, who understood Yudhistira’s uneasy mind, guided him to Bhishma to learn insight in to this precious knowledge.  It is relevant to mention that Bhishma was acknowledged to be one of the twelve most knowledgeable people.  The other eleven being Brahma , Narada , Siva , Subramanya , Kapila , Manu , Prahlada , Janaka , Bali, Suka and Yama .

As directed by the Lord, he meets Yudishtra. At their meeting, Yudhistira presented Bhishma with six questions.

1. kimEkam dhaivatam lokE?

    Who is the greatest Lord in the world?


2. kim vaapyEkam parAyaNam?         

    Who is the one refuge of all?


3. stuvantam kam prApnuyuh mAnavah subham?   

    By glorifying whom, can man attain peace and prosperity?

 
4. kam arcanat prApnuyuh mAnavaah subham?           

    By worshipping whom can man reach auspiciousness?

 
5. kO dharmah sarva dharmANaam bhavatah paramO matah?         

    What is, in thy opinion, the greatest Dharma?

 
6. kim japam mucyatE jantur janma samsAra bandhanAth?         

    By doing Japa of what, can creature go beyond the bonds and cycle of birth and death?

Bhishma responded by reciting the one thousand names now hailed as the Vishnu Shasranama, and reminded him that either by meditating on these names or by invoking the names through archana (Offering), our minds can be lifted to higher consciousness.

Why were these 1008 names chosen?

Does the Lord get absolutely defined by these one thousand names?  The Vedas affirm that God is neither accessible to words nor to mind.  It is said that you cannot comprehend the Paramatma with the human mind alone, even if you spend all your life trying!  Given this infinite nature of the Paramatma, who is not governed or constrained by any of the physical laws as we know them, the choice of a thousand names of Vishnu by Bhishma should be recognized as a representation of some of his better known qualities that are repeatedly described in our great epics.

Some might say that they do not understand the meaning of the Sanskrit words, and therefore do not feel comfortable chanting them.  But learning the chanting of prayers even without knowing the meaning is a worthwhile act, and can be compared to finding a box of treasure without the key.  As long as we have the box, we can open it whenever we get the key of knowledge later.  The treasure will be there already.

Others might feel that they do not know the correct Sanskrit pronunciation, and do not want to chant incorrectly.  There is an analogy of a mother to whom a child goes and asks for an orange.  The child does not know how to pronounce the word “orange” and so asks for “ange”.  The mother does not turn away the child and does not refuse to give the child the orange just because the child does not know how to pronounce the word.  It is the bhaava (spirit) that matters, and so as long as one chants the name of God with sincerity, considerations such as not knowing the meaning, not knowing the pronunciation, etc, do not matter, and God will confer His blessings on us, there is no way a devotee of Vishnu can meet with any dishonor or disgrace of any kind.

[gomisuchi]

vishvam / a) Universe or Cause of Universe b) One who is full in all respects. Om visvaya namah.

2. Vishnu: - a) One who permeates everything, is inside every sentient and non-sentient being. b) One who surrounds everything. Om vishnave namah.

3: vashatkara / One who controls and directs (not merely pervades).
4: bhuta-bhavya-bhavat-prabhu: The Master of all things past, future, and present. Nirukti - trikAla vartinAm seshi - The Lord of all things that exist in the past, present, and future.

5: bhuta-krit / The creator of all beings.

6 : bhuta-bhrt / The supporter of all things. Bhutani bibharti iti bhuta-bhrt - One who supports all. (seems to be further elaborated by namas 8 and 9)

7: bhavah / He who exists with all the splendor. He who exists always, independent of anything else.
8: bhutatma / The AtmA or soul of all beings - sarvesham bhutanam atma

9: bhuta-bhavanah / One who nourishes and nurtures all beings that He created.

AS Sai baba had said...... on commentating about the merits of Vishnu sahasranama, said
"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, Shama, what a relief it gave me! I thought that Allah Himself came down and saved Me. So I give this to you, read it slowly, little by little, read daily one name at least and it will do you good."

The Vishnu Sahasranama is found in the great epic MahaBharata authored by Sri Veda vyasa. 'Sahasra nama' means thousand names, so this is a chant of thousand names of Lord Vishnu. Through all this names we get 1000 indirect and indicative definitions of the unknown supreme lord in terms of the known. There are exactly 1031 names of Lord Vishnu in the 'Sahasranama' and we find some repetitions also. Since this is a chant of glory repetitions are generally accepted.


SO LET's begin this chant after taking BABA's blessings
