Introduction
Vishnu Sahasranamam—the “Thousand Names of Lord Vishnu”—is one of the most sacred and powerful stotras of the entire Vedic tradition. Found in the Anushasana Parva of the Mahabharata, it was revealed by Bhishma Pitamaha to Yudhishthira on the battlefield of Kurukshetra as a powerful means to attain peace, protection, and spiritual upliftment.
For thousands of years, sages, householders, rishis, yogis, and kings have chanted these 1000 names to invoke divine grace, protection, healing, peace, prosperity, and moksha.
Today, it is considered the most accessible, swift, and universal mantra to transform the mind, cleanse negative karmas, and establish deep inner stability.
The Sahasranama is a compact, dense hymn: each name describes an attribute or cosmic function of the Divine — from the most transcendent (Brahman, Absolute) to very practical functions (protector, healer, sustainer). Traditionally it is considered effective for purification of mind, removal of obstacles, and steadying devotion (bhakti).
