Visnusahasranama

Śrī Viṣṇusahasranāma contains 1000 Holy Names, which are the remedy for the suffering of materially conditioned existence. Śrī means beautiful on account of
being full of spiritual qualities; Viṣṇu is the Sanskrit Name of God, the omnipotent, omnipresent
Creator and Master of the universe; and sahasra-nāma means a thousand Names. So Śrī Viṣṇusahasranāma means “A thousand spiritually beautiful Names of God.”

Actually God is unlimited, and therefore He has an infinite number of Holy Names. These thousand Names are just the most prominent and beneficial of His Holy Names. They are so powerful that anyone who
simply hears or chants them regularly, with faith, becomes relieved of all material suffering.

How is this possible? By the power of transcendental sound.

Any terminology indicating God or the Supreme is not an ordinary sound vibration of this material
world. Visnu or God is the Supreme Absolute Truth. The unique quality of the Absolute is that
everything connected to Him, such as His Names, forms, abode, pastimes, associates, and the
narration of His glories, is also on the same absolute platform.
