sree vishnu sahasra naamaavali - post 38

[Guest guest]

Post no. 38

 

Dear Sri vaishnava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In this post, we will see first a naamaa is spelt in sree vishNu sahasra

naamavaLi. Then a prefix is added to this naamaa to give further qualification,

additional effect or more emphatic meaning or glorify further. To put in modern

day management jargon, the second naamaa is more "value added" than the first

naama. It is the intention of this writer to enjoy his krishna more by such

classification with all krishna bhakthaas.

 

The serial number is given for the first naama only. May be this also we will

have to see in two posts because of the number of naamaas.
