Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Jai Sreemannarayana. Our Swamijee was known for promoting and giving the exact meaning of Sri Vishnusahasranamam for many years. In his audio tape he gives the simple explanation of Vishnusahasramam, its context and its importance why we have to chant it. When Yudhishthira was down mentally after the great Mahabharata war, with the help of Lord Sri Krishna, Bhishma cleared mainly six doubts of Yudhishthira which was the main basis of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam. As you know another popular outcome of Arjuna's dilema in the war field resulted in giving us Bhagavad Gita. These two are having everlasting effect on all of us in our daily life. For about seven or eight years we were doing Vishnusahasranama Parayanam every Saturday morning.We got coaching and help in the beginning from our good friend Dr.T. Ramanuja Chari of our place. When Swamiji visted us few years ago he suggested few changes in the way we do this. We have taken his advice and continuing that with our fail. It gave us lot of mental satisfaction and some kind of decipline in our life. I made use of the advancement of computers and put the entire Stotramala using Telugu font in the following order. This was done on Mac and my good friend Dr.T.Ramanuja Chari did this on PC and posted on the web. Sree Venkateswara Suprabhatam and Sri Vishnusahasranamam was put in the following order. 1. The Hymns or Slokas before Parayanam. They start with " Sree Sailesa and ends with Maham Prapadye" 2. Sree Venkateswara Suprabhatam, Sree Venkateswara Stotram, Sree Venkateswara Prapatti and Sree Venkateswara Mangala Sasanam. 3. Sree Lakshmi Ashtottara Satanamam. 4. Sree Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram 5. Mahaa Lakshmi Ashtakam 6. Sree Krushnaashtakam 7. Sree Anjaneya Stotram 8. Saatvika Tyagam, and 9. Karpura Deepa Haarati. This is composed using bigger font size which is really helpful for aged devotees and easy to read. It is about fifty pages or so on a single side with lot of spacing in between slokas. If any of the centers are interested, we are very happy to share this work. We can send you one copy to the center interested and they can make more copies. We can send the file electronically to those of you who are having Mac computers. We felt that we can share this with other readers of this group. If any body is interested they can contact me to the address given below or send me e-mail. Over the years I have donated copies to few temples in North America. Jai Sreemannayana.
