Background

When Bhishma, the embodiment of wisdom and knowledge, and great grandfather of Kauravas and Pandavas, was lying on his deathbed in the battlefield of Kurushetra – the death of  knowledge and wisdom was approaching. Then Lord Krishna asked Yudhishtar to take guidance from his great grandfather Bhishma on aspects of life.

This was witnessed by sage Vyas and Krishna, reflects in reality Bhishma's life and his imparting knowledge to his progeny.

Just as the Bhagavad Gita is Krishna Kathita; Vidur Neeti is Vidur Kathita - Vishnu Sahasranamam is Bhishma Kathita.

Vishnu Sahasranam eradicates evil in us and gives us a chance to reconnect with the divine within.

Vishnu Sahasranama is another great work from Sage Vyas, the extraordinary author of Mahabharata, Puranas and various Stotras.
'Sahasra' means 'a thousand', 'nama' means 'name' and 'Sahasranam' means 'having thousand names'. Hence Vishnu Sahasranama means Lord Vishnu’s thousand names.
