Akhanda Vishnu Sahasra Nama Parayanam Held on Bhishma Ekadasi

 Akhanda Vishnu Sahasra Nama stotra parayanam was held at Nada Neerajana mandapam with religious fervour in Tirumala on Saturday on the auspicious occasion of Bheeshma Ekadasi.

 

The Pontiff of Kanchi, Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamy, who graced the event, in his Anugraha Bhashanam said, the best way to attain salvation in Kaliyuga is by the way of chanting the divine names in Vishnu Sahasra Nama Parayanam. "Bheeshma has taught Vishnu Sahasra Namam to Dharamaraja which was approved by Sri Maha Vishnu Himself. Today, the Vishnu Sahasra Namam was recited thrice and the fruits of this great mantra will be definitely bestowed on devotees who chanted with utmost devotion", he maintained.

 

Earlier, Vedic Scholars Sri Seshacharyulu, Sri Narasimham and Sri Brahmacharyulu led the chorus chanting of the divine namas. The entire Tirumala echoed with the divine vibes that emerged out of these divine chants. Along with Vishnu Sahasra Nama, Sri Lakshmi Astottara Stotram, Purva and Uttara Peethikas were also recited.

 

On the stage, Srivaru along with Sridevi and Bhudevi were seated on Pedda Sesha Vahanam and a replica of Bheeshmacharya was also placed.

 

Additional EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy, Agama Advisor Sri Mohanarangacharyulu, SV Higher Vedic Studies Project Officer Dr A Vibhishana Sharma, Vedic scholars, pundits from SV Vedic University, National Sanskrit Varsity and Dharmagiri Veda Vignana Peetham were also present.
