- Foreword
Any holistic approach to health must necessarily include the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the patient, together with the recognition
that all these aspects are intertwined. Each affects the others. The evolution- balanceand the declination of the Body, mind and soul always passes through chaotic phase.
Health of the body, mind and soul should always be achieved by multi-dimensional
approach for a long lasting result.
Astrology, Herbs, Gems, Mudras, Mantras, Yoga etc., all are aimed at
strengthening & balancing the internal chemistry of the body. Nothing is quackery, all
are time-tested.
The precision at which astrology calculates cosmology and its events are by
itself a proof to its accuracy, utilizing such a science for human upliftment should create
no doubt about its positive results. Reciting Sri Vishnusahasranama is one such
astrological remedy gifted by our seers and sages for the entire humanity.
This book in the last section also gives you a fair glimpse on how to use Sri
Vishnusahasranama for other problems like increasing interest for knowledge for your
children, increasing memory, good health of loved ones and for yourself, for peace &
harmony of self and for the entire society, improves your financial status, helps destroy
nightmares, helps pregnant and yet to be born etc,.

Shree Vishnusahasranama
Vishnusahasranama is one of the most sacred and commonly
chanted shlokas to contact the Divine within for peace and harmony. Reciting
it daily not only increases the spiritual energy levels inside the body, it also
helps in balancing and cleanses the mind and other subtle chakra systems of
the body. We should always remember that good health is not only having a
clean body; but also having a clean mind too. It also brings unwavering calm
of mind, complete freedom from stress and brings eternal knowledge
unknowingly and effortlessly.
Vishnusahasranama literally means "the thousand names of Lord
Maha Vishnu". In Sanskrit, sahasra means thousand and naama means
names. Lord Mahavishnus 1,000 names each eulogizing one of His countless
great attributes. In Vishnusahasranama, apart from the initial and concluding
prayers it has a total of 108 shlokas in anushtup chchanda (a meter of poetry).
In a purely orthodox Hindu tradition, a devotee should daily chant
the Upanishads, Gita, Rudram, Purusha Sukta, Devi Mahatmyam and Vishnu
sahasranama. If one cannot do all this on any day, it is said that chanting
Vishnusahasranama alone is sufficient. Vishnusahasranama can be chanted at
any time, irrespective of gender.
The Vishnusahasranama as found in the Shanti Parva of the
Mahabharata is the most popular version practiced, though other version
from Padma Purana and Matsya Purana exist.
According to the 149th chapter of Anushsanaparva (verses 14 to
120) in the epic Mahabharata, Lord Krishna accompanied by paandavas visit
Bhishma who is on the death bed (of arrows) in the battle field of Kurukshetra.

Thus a person born in ashvini 1st Paada can chant first shloka,
ashvini 3rd Paada can chant third shloka, rohini 4th paada can chant sixteenth
shloka, Chitta 3rd paada can chant fifty-fifth shloka, purvaashada 2nd paada
can chant seventy=eighth shloka and so on.
Reciting Vishnusahasranama daily followed by 9, 11 or 108 times
corresponding nakshatra/paada shlokas is advised to ward off their planetary
ill-effects. Reciting on Wednesday and Saturday has special effects. If you do
not know your paada or quarter, then recite the entire four part of the shloka
that belong to your birth star (Janma-Nakshatra).
For people who dont know their rashi, nakshatra or paada are
strongly suggested to recite all the 108 shlokas daily to get rid of all ills
associated with one's Nakshatra. Many devotees have experienced positive
changes in their lives within couple of weeks of recital.
A translation of the concluding verses (Phalasruti) of Vishnu
sahasranama, states: "Nothing evil or inauspicious will befall a man here or
hereafter who daily hears or repeats these names. Whichever devoted man,
getting up early in the morning and purifying himself, repeats this hymn
devoted to Lord Maha Vishnu, with a mind that is concentrated on Him, that
man attains to great fame, leadership among his peers, wealth that is secure
and the supreme good unsurpassed by anything. He will be free from all fears
and be endowed with great courage and energy and he will be free from
diseases. Beauty of form, strength of body and mind, and virtuous character
will be natural to him.
