Shri Vishnu Sahasaranamam is very powerful and is equivalent to doing one "Aswamedha yaga" and one who recites or listens to the Namavali attains Prosperity, good Health, and Happines. However there are about 10 Slokas which are very powerful and have got special significances. They are listed in the Slokas section of the blog. Please visit the Downloads tab to download all the audios and the Glory of Sahasranamam.
Coming back to Reading Sanskrit which is difficult for most people Vishnu Sahasranamavali is sold by Gita Press Gorakhpur at a very subsidized price in many Indian languages and you can find out the nearest book stall by typing www.gitapress.org
I had distributed 1,170,000 Vishnu Sahasranamavali books in Telugu Language sitting in Canada in India in one year by the grace of Lord Vishnu as well as my Guru Shiridi Saibaba. Some Sai devotees in Canada have joined and few Sai devotees from US have contributed and books were distributed in temples by unknown devotees of Shirdi Saibaba who joined as volunteers. After completing the program from October 2008 till October 2009 I decided to keep quiet as I have fulfilled my work. I did not know the meanings of different words in Sanaskrit to Telugu or English. After completion of the program Mr. C. Saibaba from Orissa gave me the word to word meaning in Telugu. He is one of the number of active volunteers in India for the program. Then I came to read across Vishnu Sahasranamavali in Canada and came to know that Reading or listening of Vishnu Sahasranamavali is one and the same if one listens to with devotion. That made me realize that this can be reached to millions of illeterate and semi literate Hindus who can not read Vishnu Sahasranamavali if we make it music and send online or give in CDs or DVDs to Hindu Temples. Late Guda Narasimha Rao Garu of Keshampet Village Mahaboob Nagar District of Andhra Pradesh whom I know from 1999 told me in March 2009 when the program is struck for resources as well as volunteers after completing distribution of 300,000 copies in Andhra Pradesh to keep uttering 27 sloka for Wish Fulfilment for completion of the program. I kept uttering 27 sloka as well as OM SAI BABA which is the name of my Guru Shri Shiridi Sai Nath for 7 months and the program was completed as unknown volunteers joined in India in Andhra Pradesh for distribution of Vishnu Sahasranamavali books in Telugu and 2/3 Sai Devotees from Canada contributed for the bulk of money and the project got completed as per my schedule of 1 year. Vishnu Sahasranamavali is several thousand years old and it is before Islam , Christianity as well as even Buddhism. Benefits will come to anyone and every one if one listens to reads to with devotion. However to avoid controversies it is decided that we will be focussing spreading this to 1 Billion Hindus and that too to devotees as nothing will happen to Non devotees even in Hinduism. The secret is devotion not the religion.
That itself serves several millions.
Mr. Guda Narasimha Rao Garu of Keshmapet village Mahaboob Nagar District of Andhra Pradesh came forward and gave these slokas which he has collected over several years. He was a devotee of Lord Venkateshwars for over 60 years and died in November 2011. I had started to contact various people to record 108 times these slokas from May 2011. Shrimati Rajagopalan of Tennesse USA has comeforward and she is known to Mr. Nagarajan of Tennessee USA., Finally these songs are recorded by her and edited by Mr. Naga Rajan and are ready in November 2011.

and know more details about it. word to word meaning in simple words and phalasruthi of Vishnu Sahasranamavali is given in www.Sripedia.com in English.
My objectives of this project which is Phase 2 of Vishnu Sahasranamavali are as follows.
1 Reach 100 Million Hindus who are mostly poor and needy and have various problems. They should be devotees not atheists. Help them to get benefitted by Lord Vishnu in their employment or education or poverty or other issues.
2 To make this CD/DVD reach 1 Million Temples across the world and focus is on India as most temples and most Hindus are in India.
3 To copy the Vishnu Sahasranamavali abridged version ( it takes 18 minutes as against 30 minutes full length. Focus is on names 15 minutes and few additional slokas for 3 minutes) in millions of cell phones and MP3 Players or IPods or CDs or DVDs or laptops free of cost all over India preferably in temples or devotee associations like Shirdi Saibaba Devotee Associations or ISKCON groups or Shri Vaishnavite groups or Sathya Sai Devotee Associations for the benefit of every one.
This recording has been done Voluntarily and without any cost by Srimathy Rajagopalan of Cookeville Tennesse USA for the benefit of all devotees and has no copy rights issues. I had found to my surprise that if I read Vishnu Sahasranamavali 108 times with a wish my wish is fulfilled. It happened 8 out of 9 times. In the 9th Time it did not happen. So I have repeated it second time and it was fulfilled. It is nothing related to me. It is a discovery by me by the grace of my Guru Shirdi Sai Baba and I would like every one to try it and get benefit out of it. If they can read Vishnu Sahasranamavali read it or just listen it with devotion 108 times abridged edition and see the results for themselves and share their experiences with other Hindu devotees for their benefit.
To create a list of 1 Million experiences which are real and put it in a website. No money is needed in the form of donations one can copy as many CDs or DVDs and give to nearby temple out of their own will so that one temple serves several hundred devotees or one can volunteer copying in cell phones in memory cards or MP3 players or IPods in their places. Don't forget to start listening Vishnu Sahasranamavali audio yourself. It definitely helps you in fulfilment of your wishes. The target for completion of all activities is December 31st 2025.
