Vishnu Sahasra Nama ( thousand names of lord vishnu ) is a popular stotram of Hindu religion. Lord Vishnu is adorned with thousand names, which amply signify the very strong positive traits of Lord Vishnu. The popular version Is the one in which Bheeshma in his death bed (ref: Mahabharata) recites to Yudhishtira. It begins with a prelude as to how the chanting commences, followed by a prayer to Lord Vishnu and then the actual thousand names garlanded into stotrams follow.
