- Foreword…

Any holistic approach to health must necessarily include the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the patient, together with the recognition that all these aspects are intertwined. Each affects the others. The evolution- balance- & declination of the body, mind and soul always passes through chaotic phase. Health of the body, mind and soul should always be achieved by multi-dimensional approach for a long lasting result.

Astrology, Herbs, Gems, Mudras, Mantras, Yoga etc., all are aimed at strengthening & balancing the internal chemistry of the body. Nothing is absurd, these are all time-tested.

The precision at which astrology calculates cosmology and its events are by itself a proof to its accuracy, utilizing such a science for human upliftment should create no doubt about its positive results. Reciting Shree Vishnusahasranama is one such astrological remedy gifted by our seers and sages for the entire humanity.

This book in the last section also gives you a fair glimpse on how to use Shree Vishnusahasranama for other problems:

• increasing interest for knowledge for your children, • increasing memory, • good health of loved ones and for yourself, • for peace & harmony of self and for the entire society, • improves your financial status, • helps destroy nightmares, • helps pregnant ladies and yet to be born etc,...

We humbly request people to recite these shlokas for the good of the planet Earth and spread the knowledge. We also request to share this Free PDF to all like minded people.

Shree Vishnusahasranama Vishnusahasranama is one of the most sacred and commonly

chanted shlokas to contact the Divine within for peace and harmony. Reciting it daily, not only increases the spiritual energies inside the body, but also helps in balancing and cleansing the mind and other subtle chakra systems of the body. We should always remember that good health is not only having a clean body; but also having a clean mind too. It also brings unwavering calm of mind, complete freedom from stress and brings eternal knowledge unknowingly and effortlessly.

Vishnusahasranama literally means "the thousand names of Lord Maha Vishnu". In Sanskrit, “sahasra means thousand and naama means names”. Lord Mahavishnus’ 1,000 names each applauding & praising one of His countless great attributes. ‘vishnu-vishwe anu anuunam tishtati iti vishnu’ meaning the One who is present in every atom in the creation. In Vishnusahasranama, apart from the initial and concluding prayers it has a total of 108 shlokas in anushtup chanda (a meter of poetry).

In religious Hindu tradition, a devotee should daily chant the Upanishads, Gita, Rudram, Purusha Sukta, Devi Mahatmyam and Vishnu sahasranama. If one cannot do all this on any day, it is said that chanting Vishnusahasranama alone is sufficient. Vishnusahasranama has no restrictions and can be chanted irrespective of gender at any time, any place.

The Vishnusahasranama as found in the Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata is the most popular version practiced, though other versions from Padma Purana and Matsya Purana exist.

According to the 149th chapter of Anushāsanaparva (verses 14 to 120) in the epic Mahabharata, Lord Krishna accompanied by pandavas visit Bhishma who is on the death bed (of arrows) in the battle field of Kurukshetra. During this conversation Bhishma applauds Vishnusahasranama originally composed by Shree Veda Vyaasa muni.

Varahi tantra says that in the age of Kali yuga, most stotras are cursed by Parashurama and hence are ineffective. While listing the ones which are free from this curse and hence suitable during Kali Yuga, it is said, "Gita of the Bhishma Parva, Vishnu Sahasranama of Mahabharata and Chandika Saptashati (Devi Mahatmyam) are free from any Doshas and grant fruits immediately in Kali Yuga."

In a classic astrological text, the Bruhat Parashara Horashastra, Sage Parashara frequently recommends various verses from Vishnusaharanama for various problems. He also considers reciting Vishnusahasranama as the best remedial measure for many planetary afflictions.

Shirdi Sai Baba, commentating on the merits of Vishnusahasranama (Ref Chapter XXVII of “Shri Sai Satcharitra”) says reciting it will ward off any illness and dangers in life and also protects you all the time.

Many sages and saints of yore have stressed the importance of reciting Vishnusahasranama. Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya, Parashara Bhattar, and many have compiled commentaries on Vishnusahasranama.

Sages and Vedic Scholars have diagnosed Vishnusahasranama shloka recital as an important Vedic practice and is also used for astrological remedies for all the 27 nakshatras (Birth Stars).

The entire zodiac comprises of 360 degrees (remember 60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 degree). The 27 nakshatras (Stars or constellations) occupy the 360 degrees of the zodiac. This means that each nakshatra gets 13 degrees and 20 minutes in the zodiac. Further, each nakshatra is divided into 4 quarters or padas. Hence each pada occupies 3 degrees and 20 minutes. Hence, each sign in the zodiac occupies 30 degrees . Therefore each zodiac has 9 pada corresponding to nakshatras.

Below is the mapping of nakshatra and padas for corresponding Rashis.

Rashi nakshatras and Padas Mesha (Aries)

Ashvini (4) + Bharani (4) + Kruttikaa (1)

Vrushabha (taurus)

Kruttikaa (3) + Rohini (4) + Mrugashira (2)

Mithuna (Gemini)

Mrugashira (2) + Aaridraa (4) + Punarvasu (3)

+ Uttaraabhadra (4)

+ Revati (4)

As said earlier, 108 shlokhas in Vishnusahasranama correspond to 27 nakshatra X 4 pada = 108 Shlokas.

Thus a person born in Ashvini 1st Pada chants first shloka, Ashvini 3rd Pada chant third shloka, Rohini 4th pada chants sixteenth shloka, Chitta 3rd pada chants fifty-fifth shloka, Purva-ashadha 2nd pada chants seventy eighth shloka and so on.

Reciting Vishnusahasranama daily followed by 9, 11 or 108 times corresponding nakshatra/pada shlokas is advised to ward off their planetary ill-effects. Reciting on Wednesday and Saturday has special effects. If you do not know your pada or quarter, then recite the entire four part of the shloka that belong to your birth star (Janma-nakshatra).

For people who don’t know their rashi, nakshatra or pada are strongly suggested to recite all the 108 shlokas daily to get rid of all ills associated with one's nakshatra. Many devotees have experienced positive changes in their lives within couple of weeks of recital.

A translation of the concluding verses (Phalashruti) of Vishnusahasranama, states: "nothing evil or inauspicious will befall a man here or hereafter who daily hears or repeats these names. Which ever devoted man, getting up early in the morning and purifying himself, repeats this hymn devoted to Lord Maha Vishnu, with a concentrated mind on Him, that man attains to great fame, leadership among his peers, wealth that is secure and the supreme good unsurpassed by anything. He will be free from all fears and be endowed with great courage and energy and he will be free from diseases. Beauty of form, strength of body and mind, and virtuous character will be natural to him.

While reciting the shlokas, pls remember; ā : pronounced as in fāther
