About the Author

Pravin Agrawal is Founder of Spiritual India WhatsApp Group, spread worldwide with eminent members from many countries and many fields like Science, Technology, Spirituality, Medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy including Doctors, Engineers, Army Officers, etc. He is a God-realized soul. He is an engineering graduate from the world renowned university IIT Roorkee, India. He is imparting spiritual research & training for the people of all nations. Spirituality is the solution to every problem related to business, job, health, finance, love etc. As per the author this world seems to exist but it does not exist.

You don't know that you have been sleeping for millions of years.

Main reason for chaos in the entire world is ignorance. The author is regularly sharing his write-ups to remove the darkness of ignorance and spreading the light of knowledge. He is a renowned god-realized soul and Spiritualist. Spirituality is the solution to all problems.

It is ironic. We want to know about others. We want to know about Mars, other planets and stars but we don't know about ourselves. We consider ourselves merely a body which is not true.

Read spiritual write-ups every day, you will be getting blessings from god since the name of god is like fire. Even if you touch fire unknowingly or by mistake, your finger will burn. Similarly if you read them even without knowing Almighty or by mistake, you will be getting blessings of god. Share it to your friends.

His posts have been designed with the objective of bringing a positive change on this planet earth with the overall good of all the people of this beautiful universe!

His most of posts are collection of beautiful thoughts with the blessings and grace of beloved Lord Sri Krishna which are shared for all the people of the world irrespective of any difference of religion, nation, gender, status, race, caste, language etc.

In some writings of the author you may find some Hindi or Sanskrit words. If you want to know about these words, you can Google search about them. The author solicits your sincere apology in case of any types of mistake or inconvenience. Accept infinite love, thanks and Pranam from the author.

Adhyatma Vidya or Divine Knowledge or Spirituality is the king of every available knowledge on planet earth. This is the most secret and sacred knowledge. Initially this knowledge was imparted thousands of years ago by Lord Sri Krishna and Vedas.

But this knowledge was lost with time.

Now the author is making every effort to revive this age-old traditional knowledge in a very easy way in the form of his write-up and thoughts inspired by Lord Krishna, Himself, which are shared here.

Main requirement to gain this knowledge is Abhyas i.e. practice again and again. If you read his books again and again, it will make your Abhyas firm. Then you will be very near to know Almighty God! Try it!

Vishnu Sahasranamam Stotram Lyrics 1000 Names

Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra or Venkateshwara Sahasra Namam Stothram is the devotional Vedic Hymns which explains in detail the thousand (1000) names of Lord Vishnu and is considered as one of the most powerful pieces of Hindu mythology. Vishnusahasranama Stotra is found in the 149th chapter Anushasanika Parvam of the Great Epic Mahabharatha. The famous warrior Bhishma Pitamaha teaches the Vishnu Sahasranama sloka to Yudishtra, the eldest of Pancha Pandavas.

There is another version of Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra found in the Padma Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas. However, the Vishnu Sahasranamam found in the Mahabharatha is the most popular version.

The Power of Vishnu Sahasranamam

Sahasranama means 1000 names. The nameless has 1000 names. The number 1000 is only figurative because Lord has infinite names. The number Thousand is symbolic of myriad or numerous. Before commencing the Vishnu Sahasranama, one has to meditate on the cosmic form of Lord Vishnu. By chanting the Lord’s 1000 names or at least by listening to it, one can achieve his/ her goals and invite health, happiness and prosperity in one's life.

Lord Vishnu is “Visveswara” – the one who reigns over the entire cosmos, the one who is supreme. In the Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna says, “I am the beginning, the middle and the end”. If we start visualizing that everything that is good in this world has some element of divinity in it, then we are progressing on the path towards salvation and can attain moksha in our lives. Whenever we chant “Om”, it is a reverence to Lord Krishna as well. Lord says,

“Anything that is glorious, brilliant or powerful is a manifestation of my effulgence.”

God’s glory is great. He is endowed with the abundance of virtue, knowledge, and dispassion. By worshipping God, we get rid of our obsessions with the world – we are experiencing a form of mukti or freedom. Once the river merges with the sea, its identity is lost and it becomes a part of the sea. In the same way, once we become one with the Almighty, we attain the supreme self, free from the bondage of life and death. By thinking of the divine forms and uttering the sacred name of the Lord, our senses- faculties get sublimated to a higher level, We start on the road, begin our journey to spirituality, one that will make us a better person.

1. Image worship

2. Japa (Chanting) & prayer

3. Mental worship

4. I am He

Even if one doesn’t know the meaning but utters it, he gains tremendous benefits. Unknowingly or knowingly, the chanting of the supremely praiseworthy name burns away man’s sin, just as fire reduces fuel to ashes. Puranas say that the name “Hari” has a tremendous power to remove sin. Nama japa can be performed at any time. Divine name is the supreme truth. Never disrespect the preceptor or the guru.

In the Gita, the Lord says “constantly praising me and striving to reach me with firm resolve and offering obeisance to me, brings me closer to my devotees.” If you have any problem that is causing you heart burn or intrigue, surrender yourself completely at the Lotus feet of Lord Vishnu.

When you pray to God, there is no need to ask anything to God as he knows what you want. Serve the Lord without any ulterior motive as service is the greatest form of worship. Knowledge can only dawn in a mind that has become pure and is disciplined in concentration. The path of dedicated duty cleanses the mind. Actions and fruits of our actions have to be dedicated to God. Devotion connects the path of knowledge with the path of action. Grace of the Lord culminates in true knowledge.

Vishnu Purana teaches that what is gained through meditation in krta-yuga, through performing sacrificial rites in treat-yuga and through ritual worship in dvapara-yuga is obtained by chanting the names of God in Kaliyuga.

Effective means relating to or arising from or influencing feelings of emotions. In the Sahasranama, there are references to the Lord who himself is symptomatic of sacrifices.

Bheeshma says chanting the Vishnu sahasranama or even listening to it removes sins and fears and makes one fearless. It benefits all. To go beyond sorrow, praise the all pervading Lord. When you thank the Lord for small things, he will surely give you an opportunity to thank him for greater things in life. Meditate on the Lord, praise him, pay obeisance to him.

Serve the Lord with mind, speech and body. Lord Vishnu is closely associated with Lotus flower. He is Lotus eyed and has Lotus feet and Lotus (Padma) resides in his heart. According to the Vishnu Sahasranama, it is wrong to discriminate between Shiva and Vishnu and both are held in equal accord. Shiva is the destroyer, Brahma is the creator and Vishnu is the protector. Lord is called “Padmanabha” because he has goddess Padma Lakshmi in his heart. He is “Anantha” which means happiness. The Lord is the embodiment of happiness. It is said – “Sarvam Vishnu mayam jagath”.

Here are the different names of the Lord.

. Sriman

. Srikar

. Srinivas

. Srivasah

. Sripathi

. Sridhara

. Lakshmipathi

. Madava – (the Lord of Lakshmi)

. Damodara – the one with a peacock feather on his head

. Govindah – the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the cows, the one who redeemed the earth

. Mukunda – the one who grants release from all bondages

. Janardhana – the one who punishes the wicked

Even the mere recitation of these names can bring in great merit. These hymns spread abundant positive energy around them making one's life happy and fruitful.
