Mediating on his name 1000 times would help one achieve auspicious state and free oneself of bonds and sins. Sage Vyasa and Krishna were witnesses to this moment on the Kurukshetra battlefield.īheeshma answered that whoever had brought Yudhishtir to life was the Supreme Being, to whom one should surrender. On Krishna’s advice, Yudhishtir sought guidance on all aspects of life from Bheeshma with six questions, which starts the Vishnu Sahasranama. Instead, Krishna took Yudhishtir to Bheeshma Pitamah, the great warrior lying on his deathbed on the battlefield, felled by Arjuna’s arrows. He approached Krishna, but the latter did not impart the knowledge of The Gita, as he did to Arjuna. The eldest of the PanchaPandavas, Yudhishtir, was confused about the biggest Dharma to follow in life.

The epic Mahabharata has the Vishnu Sahasranama as a part of it. The Vishnu Sahasranama is a masterpiece by the extraordinary Sanskrit scholar Sage Vyasa, also the author of timeless epics, that include the Adhyatma Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagawad Gita, Puranas, and other stotra. Sahasra means thousand, and Nama means names. The Vishnu Sahasranama is an ancient script written in Sanskrit. The Trimurti comprising of Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Preserver), and Shiva (Destroyer), are the three most important deities. In Hinduism, people worship several Gods and Goddesses. One of the simplest yet most effective ways of connecting to the Divine is by the mere recital of slokas, stotra, and mantras, with great devotion.
