Vishnu sahasranamamA lot are asking, “Why chant the Vishnu Sahasranamam? What is it all about? What can I get from chanting these mantras? What effect will it have in my life?” In Hinduism, one of the very popular prayer or praises chanted is the Vishnu Sahasranamam. For those who are already familiar with this sacred mantra, you know that Vishnu Sahasranamam means “the thousand names of Vishnu”.
One of the most powerful Gods in India is Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is considered the supreme deity, ultimate light, essence, and master of the world. Chanting the Vishnu Sahasranamam is a form of acknowledging and giving praise to the Lord Vishnu. According to Bhisma, the famous warrior, who handed down the names of Vishnu to Yudhisthira, chanting the Vishnu Sahasranamam will free those people whose life is in deep sorrow.
The Vishnu Sahasranamam contains 108 stanzas or shlokas. With every shloka you utter, you are chanting the different qualities and characteristics of Vishnu. Chanting the Sahasranamam mantras creates vibrations in the body which in turn can bring certain effects in the mind and body. The cleanising of the mind from lower level thinking is perhaps the main benefit of chanting the 108 shlokas of the sahasranamam. Once your mind is free from such thoughts you are one step closer in achieving ultimate happiness, inner peace, and pure bliss. Some of the factors that pollute the mind are jealousy, anger, greed, gluttony, and a lot more.
