Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Sri Krishnaya Namah! Other day, when I have been to a shop for buying Yesudas' classicals, I was fortunate to see a cassette on Sri Krishna Sahasranama, which I later bought. While Vishnu Sahasranama is by Veda Vyasa, Sri Krishna Sahasranama is by his father - Sri Parashara. I don't know further details as to the story behind or the vyakyanams and if anyone in this forum can throw some light on this, I would be highly obliged. The Sahasranama has been recited by Dr.Thyagarajan, P.S.Raghuraman, J.Bhakthavathsalam, P.Murali and is by Super Audio (Media) Pvt. Ltd. Annasalai, Chennai. The cassette starts with Krishna Gayathri manthra and then the Sahasranama. It contains also Gopala Vimshati, Madhuraashtakam, Krishna Ashtakam(Adi Shankara) and few more additions. A good buy.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Dear Bhagavatottamas, Sukumar swamin's information triggers another info which many of you might be aware of. That is the existance of Lakshmi Nrisimha Sahasranamam which was composed by Lord Brahma himself to pacify the Lord after Hiranyakashipu's samharam. It is said to be a powerful stotra fulfilling the desires of bhaktas reciting it. LIFCO has published it & hope they still have copies for interested bhaktas. According to Narayana Bhattadri's classification of avataras (Narayaneeyam) Krishnavatharam is said to be an 'Adbhuta' avataaram and Nrisimhavathaaram of Lord is said to be 'Athyadhbhutham'. So sahasranamams exist for Lord in several forms-and lets chant all of them- as many as possible and as many times as possible.

Dear Sir, Thank you for the information on Sri Krishna Sahasranamam. I am sure it must be a good buy. I thought I shall share a few things I read about the Vishnu Sahasranama. I am sure most of you reading this would be aware of the story - please forgive me but since the incident as to how the Vishnu Sahasranama came to be articulated is a beautiful and moving story I thought I shall share it with you. Bhishma, was lying on the bed of arrows and awaiting his death, to a question Yudhishtira's asked as to what is the easiest and best means by which mankind can attain lasting happiness, peace of mind, relief from all bondage and sorrows and salvation, Bhishma gave the answer that it is the 1008 names of Lord Vishnu. A great warrior lying on a bed of arrows and reciting the 1008 names of Mahavishnu, the mental picture that it evokes is moving and brings tears to one's eyes. This he did in the presence of Lord Krishna himself. The Vishnu Sahasranama appears in the Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata . The Sahasranama were strung together by Sage Vedavyasa. Vishnusahasranama . As we already know each name in the Vishnusahasranama highlights a particular excellence of the Lord. Another interesting aspect is that there are exactly 1031 names of Lord Vishnu in the 'Sahasranama' and not 1008 there are some repetitions also. But then the picture of a great man on a bed of arrows reciting the names of the Lord is a moving picture. When we were children we used to go to Sri Parthasarathy Temple, Triplicane and I think or if I remember right there was a painting of Bheeshmacharya on a bed of arrows and the Sahasranama on the wall adjacent to it! I think it is behind the Thayar Sannadhi ,It is a picture that I shall never forget. Regards, Srimathi Raghavan SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Dear Bhagavatas: Here is a shocking report from one of our members. Though the veracity of this report is yet to be verified, if what is said is true, it is really shocking. It is a moot question whether we can afford to be complacent, hoping that the Lord will take care of the situation. Maybe not. Misuse of temple funds is nothing new. It has become a second nature with our politicians. They were never known for their rectitude. Swindling public moneys has become the norm not only with politicians but also with various so called trusts operating in the name of some "worthy" cause or other. We have to think not once but a thousand times before donating our hard earned moneys in such bogus ventures. After all, Vigilance is the price of our liberty! Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ====================================================================== Stealing our money On 13th March Andhra Pradesh minister for endowments D Sivarama Raju presented a cheque of Rs 1 cr to Chandra Babu Naidu, for CM's relief fund, from the Tirupati kitty, which is the donation of lakhs of Hindu devotees, for Hindu establishments and Hindu temples. This is a shocking misuse of money we give to our temples and nothing short of day light robbery. Unfortunately, only for Hindus, the funds and temples are being controlled by the politicians. It is more unfortunate because Naidu is seen as an anti-Hindu politician who conducts only Iftar and Christmas party for the vote of minorities and condemns Hindus at every opportunity. Some 584 acres of land of Tirumala Tirupati Devastanam property worth Rs 200 cr is encroached, there were 1000 cases filed against it and even some 30 cases were won by government, yet the AP government had withdrawn all the cases. One of my relative was the Kerala State Devaswom Board commissioner in the sixties. What I came to know from him was quite shocking. For the appointment of chief priests in some of the well-known temples in the state, the politicians collect huge bribes, the reason being that the chief priests can collect very large amount of money within a year and they want a share of it in advance. In Kerala Communists have appointed non-believers and one can guess its effect on temples. Since my birth I have not seen a single Hindu organisation or association or trust or anything connected with Hinduism, interacted with me, my family or my known Hindu friends, even though we all have donated thousands of Rupees to various temples over the years. Hindus are growing up in isolation whereas Christian and Muslim religious organizations are always at hand to help them. Hindu establishments in the hands of any government are like entrusting ones property in the hands of a bunch of thieves. Returning the religious establishments back to Hindus will protect the assets, and enable us to have some form of social support for Hindus, which is absent at present. Till the law comes up, I advise everyone to stop putting money in the temple kitty and donate it directly to Hindu charities.
