Krishnaduring in earlier births in different yugas had, white, red,yellow,and indwaparayuga as sky blue. Q5 Where doVishnu sahasra namam appear? What is its phala sthuthi? A5 The VishnuSahasranamam is found in the Mahabharatha. Literallytranslated this means thousand names of Vishnu. This is found in the Anushasanika Parvam (chapter relating to orders or rules to the kings) ofMahabharatha. BheeshmaPitamaha was defeated and grievously wounded by Arjuna. But since he couldchoose the time of his death as per the boons received by him, he chose to diein Uttarayana and was waiting for the auspicious time. Meanwhile thewar was over leading to death of all those male members in his family except the Pancha Pandavas andthe unborn child of Abhimanyu. Yudishtra the eldest of the Pandavas becamethe King of Hasthinapura and went to Bheeshma the great for the advice andasked the following questions: KimekamDaivatham Loke kim vapyegam parayanam Sthuvantha Kam Kamarchanda Prapnuyur Manava Shubham. Ko DharmaSarva Dharmanam Paramo Matha Kim Japan Muchyathe Jandur Janma Samsara Bhandana Х Who is the One Supreme Deity? Х What is thehighest goal of life? Х By praising which Deity's auspiciousqualities will human beings attain prosperity in this world as well as bliss inthe next? Х By reciting which mantra will man be releasedfrom the bondage of the cycle of birth and death? Х Ofthe three means referred to above (i.e., recitation, praise or archana, and meditation), which is thebest means for attaining the grace of the Supreme Deity based on your vastexperience and knowledge? Bhishma's response to the abovequestions follows in the next ten stanzas. In hisconsidered opinion, a person tides over all the sorrows in this world by reciting with undiluteddevotion the Thousand Names of the Eternal Person, worshiping Him always withdevotion, meditating upon Him, glorifying Him, saluting Him by prostratingbefore Him, and adoring Him (dhyayan, stuvan, namasyamsca, yajamanas tamevaca). As was indicated earlier, thethousand names are strung together in a poetic form by Sri Vedavyasa. While identifying thethousand names of Narayana from this poetic composition describing thequalities of the Infinite Paramatma, the different revered acharyas have comeup with slightly differing sets ofthousand names Of thethousand names, some are repeated for example, in Sri ParasaraBhattar's choice of the thousand names, two names occur four times, 12 names occur three times, and 82 names occurtwice. When a name occurs more than once,the revered commentators have interpreted the meaning of the name differentlyin each instance depending on the context in which the name occurs. They have also quoted extensiveevidence from ancient scriptures insupport of their interpretation. In Bhishma'sexpert judgment, chanting Vasudeva's name with devotion andsincerity will ensure relief fromsorrows and bondage.This in a nutshell is the phalasruti or the benefit of chanting Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam. Q6 Do Narayaneeyamwas composed with a purpose? A6 MELPATHUR BHATTATHIRIPADcondensed MAHABHAGAVATHAM and composed as "NARAYANEEYAM " . However, hehas written it out of a personal motive to get ridof the Rheumatic Problems which heinherited from his GURU ,by volunteeringo help him, in getting cured from thedisease. Hestarted "NARAYANEEYAM" at theinstance of THUNJATHTHU EZHUTHTHACHCHAN who told him to start withMATHSYAVATHARA. This act of MELPATHUR clearly is to get rid of his decease which he inheritedfrom his wife's maternal uncle who was his GURU and not out of pure BHAKTHI. But POONTHANAM became a devotee of Lord GURUVAYURAPPAN out of pureVIRAKTHI. Q7 Can youmention a few temples of incarnation of Vishnu?
