Vishnu Sahasranaama stotram is a compilation of 1,000 names of Vishnu, as taught by Bheeshma to Yudhishthira
during the Mahabharata time. Chanting the 1,000 auspicious names of Vishnu fills one’s mind with positive
thoughts. One becomes more saatwik by thinking of various qualities and attributes of Vishnu. As Vishnu is the
sustainer of this universe, chanting his names can give one material success as well as spiritual progress.
