Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji on Vishnu Sahasranama parayana – August 4, 2024 – Mysore
The ārtā viṣanna sloka in the Vishnu Sahasranama says that all can attain the greatest happiness just by chanting Sri Narayana’s name along with sankīrtana or music.
Sri Rajappa and his troupe offered wonderful bhajan seva today. MS Subbulakshmi practiced everyday in the puja alter. Even HH heard your rendition of bhajans today.
Global Vishnu Sahasranama foundation has come together to offer Vishnu Sahasranama parayana today. Where Narayani is, Narayana will also be present. It is very auspicious to chant Vishnu Sahasranama on Amavasya. This stotra is very dear to Pujya Appaji.
Today, being Sunday, we also have Tailabhishekam to Dattatreya Swami, who is also an aspect of Maha Vishnu.
From August 8, we have the Ramayana Yaga in the Karya Siddhi Hanuman temple for 10 days. Each day for nearly 5 hours, anywhere upto 2400 slokas will be chanted.
Sri Parthasarathy shall now explain the meanings of Vishnu Sahasranama slokas. May the knowledge of the meanings fortify your Bhakti and bless you.
