శ్రీ విష్ణు ద్వాదశనామ పంజర స్తోత్రం

The Vishnu Sahasranama — the thousand names of Vishnu — is not merely a litany of divine titles but a layered map of ultimate reality, a lived theology and a spiritual practice rolled into one. Found in the Garuda Purana (as in other Purāṇic and Mahābhārata sources), each name discloses a facet of the supreme being: his essence, functions, qualities, relationships, and the way he engages the cosmos. Approached devotionally, the Sahasranama is both lamp and path: it lights the devotee’s inner darkness and, step by step, guides the seeker toward union with the Divine.At its heart the Sahasranama proclaims the unity of Vishnu’s transcendence and immanence. Names like “Parameshvara”, “Paramatma”, and “Brahman” assert his absolute, formless, boundless reality — the substratum of being that pervades and transcends all. Names such as “Pādānāmbiha” (support of the worlds) and “Jagatdhāra” (sustainer of the universe) emphasize his immanent role as preserver, the one who holds the play of creation in balance. This dual vocabulary avoids abstract metaphysics alone and insists that the Absolute is at once intimately available and supremely beyond—what the tradition calls saguna and nirguna aspects.The Sahasranama is organized organically rather than randomly: gods and sages in the Purāṇic frame pronounce the names to reveal how the Lord manifests in cosmic functions and in personal, salvific relationships. Many names point to Vishnu’s role as remover of ignorance and dispensers of grace — appellations that comfort the afflicted and instruct the aspirant. For instance, appellations like “Pāpa-nāśana” (destroyer of sins), “Duhkha-nivāraṇa” (reliever of sorrow), and “Prabhava” (source of auspicious power) directly promise moral and spiritual healing to those who approach with faith.Psychologically, the recitation and reflection on these names realigns the mind. Names that describe virtues and powers — “Satyakāma” (lover of truth), “Kṛtājña” (grateful), “Jñānādhipa” (lord of wisdom) — function as antidotes to the inner poisons of desire, anger, and ignorance. Repeating or meditating on these names cultivates the corresponding states in the aspirant. Thus the Sahasranama is simultaneously therapeutic and transformative: not merely praise, but a discipline of character formation.The cosmological sweep of the hymn is vast. It names Vishnu as the Lord of the elements, the deities, the worlds, kings, and sages; as the shelter for animals, plants, mountains, seas, and inner faculties. This exhaustive inclusivity signals an important theological point: the divine presence animates every layer of reality — social, natural, psychic, and spiritual. To acclaim Vishnu as “Pati of the stars,” “Guardian of the rivers,” or “Lord of the speech” is to sanctify those spheres and to invite a devotional attitude toward all life. In a practical sense, this vision fosters reverence for the world rather than contempt for it: devotion becomes a mode of relating to creation as sacrament.The Sahasranama’s ethical import is also central. Names of Vishnu as the protector of the righteous, destroyer of the wicked, and the dispenser of justice (karma) affirm a moral order woven into the fabric of existence. Chanting the names is therefore not a magic formula to bypass responsibility; rather, the stotra works by reorienting will and action toward dharma. Devotion awakens right conduct, and right conduct bears fruit in the life of the devotee. The Purāṇic promise that the hymn destroys sins and grants liberation functions in this moral-theological frame: sincere recitation presupposes repentance, ethical striving, and a turning away from harmful patterns.Soteriologically, the stotra is a method: by invoking the Lord’s thousand names, devotees secure multiple entry points into the Divine. Some names address Vishnu’s majesty and cosmic authority, others his tenderness and accessibility (Lakshmi’s companion, refuge of devotees). Thus different kinds of hearts — the philosopher, the repentant sinner, the anxious household worker, the renunciate — all find a resonant name. The final stanza’s assurance that the reciter attains Vishnu’s supreme realm is not an abstract promise; classically it is conditioned by devotion, right upāya (means), and sincere inner turning. The hymn therefore supports the Vaishnava emphasis on prapatti or surrender: vocal praise becomes the doorway to handing over the self entirely to the Lord.Ritually and practically, the Sahasranama has multiple applications. It is recited in temple liturgies, private puja, and therapeutic settings (to mitigate fear, to purify, to mark rites of passage). The text’s Purāṇic context often pairs it with narrative frames — dialogues among gods and sages — that reinforce the hymn’s authority and illustrate exemplary devotion. The recitation can be slow and contemplative (where each name is meditated upon), melodic in congregational chanting (which creates a field of devotional energy), or used as a background for silent meditation on the meaning. Across these modes the repetition establishes a rhythm that calms attention, reduces mental fragmentation, and settles the conscience.Theologically, the Sahasranama consolidates several strands of Hindu thought: Vedic sacramentality (as shown in its liturgical use), Purāṇic devotionalism (its narratives and personal tone), and classical theism (its emphasis on God’s providential roles). It harmonizes bhakti (devotion), jñāna (knowledge of God’s names and nature), and karma (right action) without reducing any to the other. The names act as mirrors: they reflect back to the seeker both the Lord’s face and the aspirant’s potentiality to embody the Lord’s virtues.Finally, the transformational promise of the Sahasranama depends crucially on interior disposition. Mere mechanical repetition without reverence yields little; but repetition suffused with remembrance, repentance, and longing yields profound change. The thousand names are therefore a generous divine pedagogy: whether one can remember many names or only a few, each sincere utterance draws the heart closer. Over time, the chorus of names becomes a continual presence in the devotee’s life — a moral compass, a refuge in distress, and ultimately a bridge to the vision of the Lord.In summary, the Vishnu Sahasranama is both scripture and sacrament: an exhaustive hymn that maps the Lord’s glory, heals the human heart, guides ethical action, and opens the path to liberation. Practiced with faith and sincerity, it nurtures calm, courage, and eventual union with the Divine, and hence stands as one of the most beloved and efficacious devotional resources in the Vaishnava tradition. Benefits:<ul><li>Erasure of sins and karmic burdens</li><li>Protection from danger, fear and negative influences</li><li>Mental peace, spiritual clarity, and devotion deepening</li><li>Material and familial well-being (prosperity, harmony)</li><li>Support on the path to moksha (liberation)</li></ul>&nbsp;

Sankashta Nashana Vishnu Stotram

The Sri Vishnu Ashtavimshati Nama Stotram records Arjuna’s question and Krishna’s reply listing twenty-eight sacred names of Lord Vishnu — names that span the great incarnations and personal forms of the Lord. The hymn names the fish, tortoise, boar, dwarf, and other avatāras as well as beloved forms like Govinda, Pundarīkāksha, Mādhava and Madhusūdana; it also mentions Padmanābha, Sahasrākṣa, Halaāyudha, Govardhana, Hṛṣīkeśa and the exalted Viṣṇu-forms such as Vaiḳuṇṭha and Puruṣottama.Beyond cataloguing names, the stotram states the spiritual merits of their recitation: chanting these divine names continually wipes away sins, grants extraordinary merit (equated metaphorically with crores of cows or hundreds of horse-sacrifices), and bestows ritual and devotional rewards such as results akin to giving away thousands of brides or observing special lunar-day practices. The text prescribes regular remembrance at sandhyā (junctions of day), in the morning and at noon; doing so leads to liberation from sins and accrues great spiritual benefit.In short, meditating on and chanting these twenty-eight names is presented as a concise and powerful sadhana — it purifies the heart, increases devotion, removes karmic obstacles, and brings both worldly and spiritual blessings through the grace of Lord Vishnu.Benefits: • Removes sins and karmic obstacles • Grants great merit equivalent to large sacrificial gifts (symbolic rewards) • Bestows ritual/household benefits (e.g., auspiciousness of kanyādāna) • Regular chanting at prescribed times leads to spiritual purification and peace
