Dear BhakthAs of Lord SrInivAsa of Thirumalai:

 

The VenkatEsa Sahasra Naamams from 3-8 with brief

meanings are given below .These NaamAs have "Visvam "

and its mulitfaceted relations to Lord VenkatEsA as

its Iswaran . The relatonship between the Visvam

and its Lord (SrI VenkatEsA) is an important branch of

VedAnthic Inquiry and Upanishads have dwelled deeply on

this vital relationship.

 

"VisvAya Nama:" is the first of the SrI VishNu

SahasranAmams. The relationship between Visvam

and the Lord , who creates it, enters in to it as

antharyAmin , sustains it and ultimately dissolves it

are saluted in 90 Rg Veda Manthrams :
