Sri Vishnu Sahasranama

Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam is one of the most popular texts among the Hindus. It at once appeals to the heart and the mind of the devotee. The Sahasranamam brings out the universality of the Divine and is therefore fit to be chanted by all.

This book contains original verses in Sanskrit, their transliterations and translations. The translation into English has been done by Swami Tapasyananda on the lines of Sri Shankaracharya’s commentary. The mode of presentation is just like a lexicon which at once helps a person to look out for any needed term and contemplate on it. The namavali at the end would be useful for chanting purposes. This work would be useful to anyone who would like to purify his mind by contemplating the names and their meanings.

Swami Tapasyananda was a scholar-monk of great repute and one of the vice-presidents of the Ramakrishna Order.
