श्री विष्णु सहस्र नामावलि
(Shri Vishnu Sahasranamavali)
Also known as om visvasmai namah
Shri Vishnu Sahasranamavali is a sacred collection of one thousand names of Lord Vishnu, traditionally recited as a prayer. Originating from the Anushasana Parva of the epic Mahabharata, it was imparted by Bhishma Pitamaha to Pandava prince Yudhishthira. This powerful stotra represents the infinite attributes of the Supreme Being. Chanting or meditating upon these names is believed to purify the mind, foster spiritual clarity, alleviate worldly anxieties, and grant liberation. It serves as a comprehensive tool for devotion, helping seekers connect deeply with the divine presence of Lord Vishnu while cultivating inner peace and moral righteousness.
