Description

Visnusahasranama – the thousand names (sahasra-nama) of Lord Vishnu – appears in the Mahabharata. Adi Sankaracarya has enhanced the glory of Visnusahasranarna by writing a beautiful commentary (in Sanskrit) on it.
This book is a translation into English of the commentary by Adi Sankaracarya on each of the thousand names of the Lord. The unique aspect of this book is the word-for-word translation of the entire commentary, making it easy for the reader to appreciate the purport of the entire Visnusahasranarna. Being familiar with the deeper meaning of the names of the Lord, adds another dimension to the process of chanting of the Visnusahasranama. In his commentary, the great Acarya has referred to subtle and profound statements from Upanisads, Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, etc. giving the readers a flavor and essence of what is contained in these venerable texts.
This translation, on the one hand will help the reader appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the way the Lord has been personified in Visnusahasranama, and on the other hand will provide guidelines and insights for a spiritual seeker.
