Jai Srimannarayana! To realise the Divine and use every bit of our knowledge and wealth in His service is a great boon in one's life.
In the ecstatic state of Love towards God, a devotee feels the causeless compassion of the Divine and begins to pray
Him and sing His glories in every possible way.
"...The greatest of the secrets, powerful of the powers,
that can make one even to win over... Lord Krishna... is this Sri Vishnu Sahasra Na:ma Stho:thram... "
Great Rishis, A:lwa:rs and A:cha:rya:s have experienced the Divine.
They poured out their divine experience in the form of sacred compositions delivered involuntarily, recorded by their followers.
Bhishma:cha:rya, like a bee that collects the drops of honey from different flowers, collected the greatest manthras from different
sages who experienced those manthras. He did so with great devotion, by winning their hearts with his revered services, following severe
austerities. Having carefully collected them, he arranged them in a wonderful order to make a beautiful divine garland of glorious manthras
and thus he used to practice them regularly. Such a hard earned treasure of knowledge was revealed to Pa:ndavas in front of Lord Krishna,
while Bhishmacharya was on the bed of arrows during Kurukshethra war. That greatest of the secrets, powerful of the powers, that can make
one even to win over... Lord Krishna... is this "Sri Vishnu Sahasra Na:ma Stho:thram ".
"...Join together in hundreds, thousands and lakhs
to recite this wonderful Stho:thra... "
On the eve of Prapanna Deeksha this Jeeyar Satabdi Year,
all of us, members of our family, our friends, our relatives etc., join together in hundreds, thousands and lakhs to recite this wonderful
"Stho:thra". Let us sing His glories, for He blesses us with Himself, the all powerful omnipotent Lord of this Universe.
The more we join the more effective it is in realising its results.
