VISHNU SAHASRA NAMAM - Courtesy ARUN

[Guest guest]

600. Sivah -Lord Narayana is adored here as Sivah and, at the same time, all

Vaishnavites repeat Vishnu- sahasranaama. Human prejudices have no logic or

reason. Sri Narayana is Siva (auspiciousness) and there is no difference between

the two. " I am the dweller of Vaikuntha, Vishnu. Between us there is no

difference, " so says Lord Siva Himself. Vishnu is the " Purifier " (Siva), as His

names, when chanted, and His form-divine, when meditated upon, become a means of

quietening the mind and sharpening our perceptions of the subtler and the

transcendental.
