VISHNU SAHASRA NAMAM 144 - Courtesy ARUN

[Guest guest]

(144) Sahishnuh -One who is capable of patiently suffering, in his

perfect detachment, all that is happening around, is a sahishnuh.

Whatever happens to the reflections of the Sun, the Sun in the cosmos

is unaffected by them, and with reference to his reflections we can

call him a Sahishnuh, the Sun is a mere " witness " of his own endless

reflections.

 

The term has also got two more meanings in Sanskrit as `Forgiver'

or `Conqueror'. Vishnu is one who forgives us readily all our

trespasses, and conquers for us all the inimical forces in our inner

personality.
