He is the one with red eyes and he is all-resistent. He is well-formed into the various manifestations and has three names.. He is the path of light and purity of all pure things. He is the highest concept of auspiciousness. Explanation: 1. Comprehension is through the mind and senses. Since God is all and the mind is only a pattern which forms a minute particle of the whole it cannot comprehend what God is. One can experience God by the process of becoming and being and not by thinking and understanding. 2. Since God stands as the background of all that is changing he is unchanged and hence eternal. 3. What we call darkness is darkness to the mechanism of senses and mind. To itself it is no darkness but is the great light of existence. It is the greatest of all mysteries to the one in the capacity of an objective observer. To the one who submits his I AM to the Lord he is the I AM. The \iueness of the sky is only as it appears and it is not true in itself. Hence it is taken as a similie to the colour of the Lord. Lord Krishna is described as having the body of deep blue colour. 4. The colour of the sunrise and sunset are symbols of the emerging and the merging of the individual consciousness. The white light and the spectrum thereof are only the limitations or the range of visibility to the human eye. What we call darkness is the totality of the real light. From the darkness which is real light, the spectrum becomes visible, when the demarkation manifests as the red colour. 5. God is the background of all other things that survive in the process of their becoming or being created. Hence, the backgtound is the only thing that resists all the changes and stands as it is, amidst and beyond the changes. 6. Everything from the atom to the solar system depends upon form, both physical and subtle. We find in this creation everything well-formed in its own shape that keeps its own identity. This power is due to the presence of the awareness of the Lord. 7. God is described as having three names which are vortices of existence. The three planes physical, vital and spiritual are the three vortices which contain the whole creation as the body of the Lord. 8. Before everything is created there is space. Space is the light that spreads as the first presence. It also forms the path of the Lord descending into the beings of creation. Inversely it also forms the path from the created individual to the Lord when retraced.  9. Purity is a relative term. Something is purer than another thing which is filthy. The whole creation is a range of layers of realisation. When the individual grows aware of each new layer, the previous one is relatively impure to him unless he enlightens it and fills it with the presence of the newly experienced layer. This process continues until the individual finds no further layers than himself This is what we call God and hence, He is the purest of all purities. 10. People understand something good desirable and auspicious according to their own understanding and limitation. One may think financial gain as auspicious, another may think that the day of child birth is auspicious. These concepts carry only their concept of auspiciousness bur not real auspiciousness or good. Real good is only the plan of the Lord which lies in the ultimate fitness of things and the individual following it. 11. The highest of auspiciousness is comprehended and experienced when the individual finds his fitness into the plan of Lord. There is no higher state of being than this.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 It is " padmanabho~ amaraprabhuh " . Rather than the other way. BUT, in most Vishnu sahasranama books transliterated in Roman script, it is not written the correct way. When I 1st started learning this, I had to always make a conscious effort to always rmbr this point when coming to the 6th verse. It's funny you asked this because there is an old story of some saint chanting it the wrong way and some priest in a temple hearing it and casting aspersions on him. Well the story goes something like this: the saint didn't know owing to ignorance, and the moral of the story was that true devotion is what really counts no matter the pronunciation.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi there Your giving vishnu-sahasranama-stotram with English meaning is very appreciable. I have a request to make. There are quite a few typos in the transliteration. For e.g., 'hrshikesha' given as 'hrsike', 'vishwakarma' given as 'visvakarna', manustwashtaa' given as 'maustvasra', 'sthavishthah' given as 'sthavidthah', 'sthavirah' given as 'athaviro', 'dhruvah' given as 'dhruva.sa'. This is only a feedback. Pl don't mistake me. Most of the naamaas and the syllables in Vishnusahasranaamam are taken from Rig Veda. Bhishma declares, 'Yaani naamaani ... rishibhih parigeetaani...taani vakshyaami' implying that there are drashtaas for the names. Reciting vishnu-sahasranaamam gains the merit of reciting Rig Veda. Hence we may have to be careful while providing the text, though vishnu-sahasranaamam enjoys immunity from mispronunciation, regional accents, mother-tongue interference etc. Hence the famous episode of Lord Guruvaayurappan declaring he is 'maraprabhu' also (lord of the trees). Once again, this is by way of feedback. Pl don't mistake me. Pl carry on your good work.
