The Ultimate Guide to Vishnu Sahasranaam: 1000 Divine Names of Vishnu Ji

श्री Shri Vishnu Sahasranaam

Welcome to this dedicated resource for the Sri Vishnu Sahasranaam, the "Hymn of a Thousand Names." Originally imparted by Bhishma Pitamah to Yudhishthira, these 1000 names of Lord Vishnu represent the infinite attributes of the Supreme Being.

Presented below is the complete Stotram with Sanskrit Shlokas, clear English transliteration, and detailed meanings. This guide is designed to assist devotees in daily chanting and deeper spiritual study of Maha Vishnu and His Dashavatara.

Note to Practitioners The Vishnu Sahasranamam traditionally includes introductory prayers and concluding verses (Phalashruti). This resource focuses specifically on the Stotram portion—the core section containing the full 1,000 sacred names of Lord Vishnu—formatted for dedicated chanting and study.

Benefits of Chanting

Mental Peace: Reduces anxiety and provides clarity of thought in daily life.

Spiritual Progress: Helps in understanding the infinite, divine attributes of the Supreme Being.
Correct Pronunciation: Use our detailed transliteration to master the sacred Sanskrit phonetic sounds.

The Legend of the Stotram

The Vishnu Sahasranamam is found in the Anushasana Parva of the Mahabharata. These thousand names were famously recited by Bhishma Pitamah to Yudhishthira while the great patriarch lay on his deathbed of arrows, in the divine presence of Lord Krishna himself.

॥ सर्वप्रहरणायुध ॐ नम इति ॥
॥ इति श्रीविष्णुसहस्रनामस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम् ॥

"Salutations to the Lord who wields all things as His weapons.
Thus concludes the Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam Stotram."

Meaning of the Closing Verse

The final name in this hymn, Sarva-praharaṇā-yudhaḥ (#1000), signifies that Lord Vishnu can use anything in the universe as a weapon to protect His devotees and uphold Dharma. It serves as a final, powerful reminder of His absolute, all-encompassing protection over those who take refuge in Him.

May the blessings of Lord Mahavishnu be with you.
