VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

In reply to: Contd. 's message, "Re: Thousand Names of the Un-nameable (verses 86-108)" on 14:17:33 02/24/04 Tue

"The Vishnu Sahasranama is found in the great epic MahaBharata authored by Sri Veda vyasa. 'Sahasra nama' means thousand names, so this is a chant of thousand names of Lord Vishnu. Through all this names we get 1000 indirect and indicative definitions of the unknown supreme lord in terms of the known. There are exactly 1031 names of Lord Vishnu in the 'Sahasranama' and we find some repetitions also. Since this is a chant of glory repetitions are generally accepted."
