Vishnu Sahasranamam (29:58 ) Info about Vishnu Sahasranam: The origin of this great text is an interesting thing to observe. This great Stotra was imparted, with the welfare of future generations in mind, by Bhishma to Yudhishthira . Six reasons are generally identified for the greatness of the Stotram. These are: 1. It is the essence of the legend of Mahabharata. 2. Sages such as Narada, the Alwars, and composers including Saint Tyagaraja have made repeated references to the "Thousand Names of Vishnu" in their devotional works. 3. The person who strung together the thousand names as part of the Mahabharata and preserved it for the world was none other than Sage Vedavyasa, the foremost teacher of the vedas, and considered an incarnation of Vishnu (vyasaya vishnu rupaya vyasa rupaya vishnave namo.) 4. It is the considered opinion of Bhishma, the legendary ancestor of Pandavas in the famous epic of ‘Mahabharata' that it is the best and easiest of all dharmas, or the means to attain relief from all bondage. 5. It is widely accepted that the chanting of this Stotram gives relief from all sorrows and leads to happiness and peace of mind. 6. It is in conformity with the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, Narayaneeya, etc
