Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram in Gujarati

विष्णु सहस्रनाम स्तोत्रम्

Anushasana Parva, Mahabharata Deity: Vishnu Metre: Anushtup 172 verses

After the Mahabharata war, Yudhishthira went to Bhishma, dying on a bed of arrows, and asked him the simplest, hardest question: how do you find peace? Bhishma's answer was this hymn. A thousand names of Vishnu, each one a handle you can hold onto. People have been chanting it every morning across India for centuries, and there's a reason it endures: the rhythm gets into you. Twenty minutes of these names and the noise in your head quiets down. That's not metaphor, ask anyone who's kept up the practice.
