Efficacy of Vishnu Sahasranama (Shri Saileela March 1983)



Efficacy of Vishnu Sahasranama


A thousand names of Shree Maha Vishnu-the protector of the Universe - helps a devout baktha to attain a devotional discipline, by constant repetition and recitation of the same name as well as different ones of the supreme Lord.
Just as we derive three results simultaneously when we consume our food, viz. a pleasant sensation, the appeasement of hunger and the necessary nutritive ingredients for the growth of the physical body, a similar precious experience is gone through by a devout baktha while engrossed in • Nama Sankeerthan' viz. blissful love towards the divinity, realisation of His nature and getting rid of all attachments.
How to get rid of the samsara bandhana ? What is the marga to achieve great results with little effort?" asked Yudhi-shthira, the Pandava king, of Bheeshmacharya. The Pithamaha replied. ' The only way is to praise the Purushothama, Shri Vasudeva, the Lord of the Lords and sing His gunas and leelas by a thousand names ', For the benefit of mankind, sage Vyasa the Krishna Dwaipayana, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu Himself, has spelled out Sahasranama, to be repeated and heard with shraddha so as to derive the parama sukha.
It is the firm conviction of Shri Shankara Bagavadpatha that this devotional discipline is of very high value in reaching the final goal, the realisation of Brahman.
The story goes that when Adi Sbankara desired to write his commentary on Vedantha, he asked one of his disciples to fetch a Grantha (scriptural text). Surprisingly, the palm leaf manuscript of Vishnu Sahasranama was brought by him. Not satisfied, Shankara asked the pupil to fetch another. This time too, he obtained Vihhnu Sahasranama, and this happened for the third time also.   So-Shankara felt .that   it   was   the   Lord's wish that he should comment on Vishnu Sahasrahama.
In this Kaliyuga, it may be difficult to strictly observe the rituals prescribed for the various sadhanas. But, there is no hard and fast rule to take to recitation of the Vishnu Sahasranama. However worse a sinner be, if he, for a moment feels in his heart of hearts, the Omnipotent, Omnipresent Purushottama and surrenders to Him, all his sins are cleansed, and he is helped to turn a new leaf. Such being the case, the immense relief and good a person derives by his devout and disciplined recitation of the Sahasranama, can well be imagined.
To highlight a few of   His thousand names :
He gives wealth to His devotees ; He is the Lord of Lakshmi ; He is always present with Sreeman , He is inpossession of all Aiswarya. He gives to everyone according to his Poorva Karma. Lakshmi adorns His chest. He gives wealth to those •who surrender to Him. He is the embodiment of happiness. He is wealth incarnate. He is the refuge for the three lokas.
He carries you across   the   ocean of Samsara.    He destroys the evil doers.    He gives Punya to those who think of Him.    He destroys  all   the .bad ..dreams   that   foretell   danger..    He   gives  Mukthi.    He protects the Universe.    He is a   Sant.    He pulsates in every living being.   He is all pervading.
Those who either hear or recite this Sthothra daily, will experience neither in this world nor in the other, any untoward, unpleasant happenings whatsoever.
The Baktha  gets  world   wide   fame, he is respected among the wise; he gets Shashwata Aiswarya as well as Parama Mangala.
The Baktha fears none; he gets Tejas and Veerya; he is free from all ailments and shines in this world as a person with winning manners endowed with health and beauty.
The devotees of Vasudeva never come across "Araangala". They are freed from the cycle of birth and death; nor do they fear birth, death or old age.
The very uttering of Narayana's Nama showers eternal joy on the Baktha, by relieving the cause for the broken heart and by removing with soothing effect the agony of those afflicted with chronic ailments.
So, the   disciplined recital  of Vishnu    Sahasranama   with Shraddha wards off fear, assures success in  one's endeavour and acts as a tonic for all types of ailments.
The recital of even a single verse has great value. Goddess Parvati asked Her consort the easy way by which the intelligent ones get the full benefit of the Sahasranama, by uttering a single Couplet. The Lord replied:
"Oh the incarnation of beauty ! Oh ! Hrudaya Sundari!! The chanting of sweet Rama Nama only equals the Sahasranama ",
No wonder, our Saipadananda, the Apostle of Love, instilled in the minds of Sai bakthas, the efficacy of Vishnu Sahasranama by joining with them in the recitation-of the same, day in and day out.
The entire atmosphere in and around the Sai Spiritual Centre in Thyagarajapuram of Bangalore, (which bears the name of yet another ardent and devout Dasa of Shree Rama) is vibrating fully surcharged with the divine and magnetic Taraka Nama of the Parushottama ; and unceasingly showering eternal bliss, making it a "Bhooloka Vaikuntha”,
Not only that, wherever Swamiji went, let it be, the Samaj at Madras, Pune, Bombay or Vizag, once the devotees gather round him. the recital of Vishnu Sahasranama was started in right earnest. Even to-day, though .Swamiji is not physically present, yet this Sadhana goes on unceasingly daily in all the Sai Centres where the devotees had the unique opportunity to sit around Swamiji and chant the hymns. The feeling hovers round every devotee that Swamiji too comes there and blesses him.
Did not our Samartha Sadguru Sai, make Shama, His intimate devotee take to the recital of Vishnu Sahasranama ? The Sadguru said. "Oh ! Shama, this book of Vishnu Sahasranama is very valuable and efficacious; so I present it to you, you read it. Once I suffered intensely. My bean began to palpitate and my life was in danger. At that critical time, I hugged this book to my heart and then Shama, what a great relief it gave me ! I thought that Allah Himself came down and saved me. So I give this to you; read it slowly, little by little; read daily one name at least and it will do you good.." (Sai Satcharita 144-145 1978 Edition).
"Free yourself from the cycle of birth and death. It is very easy and effective and requires no paraphernalia and has no restrictions. It is the best purifier of our mind. There is no easier Sadbana than this...'* (Sai Satcharita P. 145 - 1978 Edition)
Has not the efficacy of Vishnu Sahasranama revealed itself to you ? Oh Saidasa ! What are you waiting for ? Tie this necklace of Sahasranama round your neck and get rid of your sins -past and present, committed knowingly or unknowingly.
Awake, Arise and Act !!!
