--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the 3 fold misery is wiped off completely on hearing them at sunrise or morning hours.

Purusha Sukta is from the Rigveda & it describes how the whole universe was created from the supreme Purusha (i.e. Lord Vishnu)

Vishnu Sahasranaam is from the Mahabharata & it describes the supreme Purusha (Lord Vishnu) by giving 1000 names. Each name describes one attribute of Lord Vishnu. As a devotee hears each name, he inherits (gets) that particular attribute of Lord Vishnu. !!! 

Devotees can hear it say once or twice a week (say on every sunday). if it is possible for the devotee, then he should hear it everyday morning. One becomes an absolute king (master) , with all good and noble qualities, a Punya-atma & finally merges with the Purshottama (the Lord). Needless to say, he endears the Lord & the Lord endears him. 

|| Om Sai Ram ||

...and here is the document which gives the meaning of each name in the Vishnu Sahasranaam.

One must read it slowly. one or few names daily & it's description. Not to hurry with the names & try to read all at once.

Om Sai Ram.

And yes, as rightly pointed out by Mairoban, here is more glory of the Vishnu Sahasranaam. There is no end to the Lord's Glory. One has to be a saint to fully understand it. 

Sri Vishnu Sahasranam:

Sri Vishnu Sahasranam: 

        The Sri Vishnu Sahasranam, or the Thousand Names of Vishnu, is an important Stotram that is chanted in many temples of Vishnu throughout the world. It is used at important times or occasions, or even simply for personal meditation.  It is extremely powerful and offers numerous spiritual benefits. Its recitation creates a most spiritual atmosphere for all, destroys negative influences and elements, and produces a high vibration for peace and positivity.

        The Sri Vishnu Sahasranam is found in the Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva, Section 149, verses 14 to 120. The edition of the Mahabharata by Kisari Mohan Ganguli offers an easy translation of the text in English. However, copies of the Vishnu Sahasranam are available in books that concentrate on the Stotram alone, with texts, translations, explanations, etc., depending on which one you buy.

Here is another variation of the Vishnu Sahasranaam audio

This is also very sonorus & effective. More so, it is sung by a holy Vaisnava (devotee of Vishnu).

This also has the complete beginning & concluding verses, which are sung before and after the actual Sahasranaam.

Om Sai Ram
