24 names Of Vishnu

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

These are 24 names of Vishnu to be remembered at different occasions.

It is said that sabda (sabda), sparsha (touch), roopa (form), rasa

(taste), gandha (smell) and the positive energy or vibration coexist

with words. Repeated chanting each word creates different results in

our body since effort to utter each word uses different muscles and

brings different effect in the saadhaka. We will try to analyze the

meaning of each name in detail every day and try to think how it is

relevant to chant that particular name at that particular time. First

let us take Vishnu and see why we are asked to chant that during

illness and taking medicine. I will contribute my understanding and

explanation, please, everybody try to come up with your explanation.

It will be fun. Nobody is write or wrong. What ever is done to praise

His glory is service to Him and all His devotees. So in the next 24

days, we can learn as much as possible about all the 24 names of

Vishnu. If one is not able to contribute because of time restriction

or any other reason, do not feel bad. I am sure that I will not be

able to give appropriate explanation for all names. But there are

people like Sarojaji, who can enlighten us. Meaning given in the

Vishun Sahasra naamam may help us a lot. It will be interesting to

read and understand different ways of interpretations.

 

When taking medicine think of Vishnu

 

Before eating think of Janaardana

 

Before going to bed ehink of Padmanaabha

 

During marriage think of Prajaapathi

 

During fight or controversial situations think Chakradhara

 

When you are away from home or NRIs like lot of us think of Thrivikrama

 

At the time of death try to think of Naarayana

 

When you are with your spouse, think of Sridhara

 

To avoid bad dreams think of Govinda

 

When you are sad, think Him as Madhusoodana

 

When you are in forest and afraid think of Narasimha

 

When you are afraid of fire, think Him as Jalashaayin (who is lying in

the Kaarana jalam)

 

When you have the fear of drowning, think of Varaaham

 

When you are climbing mountains or hard to reach places think of Him

as Raghunandanan

 

Before going for a trip pray Him in the form of Vaamana

 

And for the success of what ever we do, (in all our everyday

activities) pray Him as Maadhava
