Visnu-sahastra has been commented upon by most of our great Vaisnava acaryas (I think it was first chanted by Pitamaha Bhismadeva on the battlefield of Kuruksetra, while gazing at Lord Krishna, on his deathbed), so I don't know how a devotee will try to dissuade others from chanting such. We've been having the cassette of the Visnu-sahastranam sung by Laksmi Subramanian for long time. It is always soothing hearing it early in the morning. I think devotees need to really mature, about the glories of the Lord's holy names, otherwise one stands the chance of committing offenses on the pretense of chanting the Hare Krishna maha mantra. It is mentioned in the scriptures that each and every names of Lord Visnu or Krishna contains all the potencies of Godhead, and can awards one all perfections. We should humbly respect those who shows attraction to chanting various Lord's names especially Visnu-sahastranam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
