Benefits of Chanting Shree Vishnu Sahasranamam

Here you can read benifits of chanting Shree Vishnu Sahasranamam as per given in Stotra itself and as collected from devotees experiences. 

In Charaka Samhita, written by the famous Ancient Indian Physician Caraka, it is said that ” If all the medications ( recommended or non-recommended ) fail in providing relief, then one should recite Sri Vishnu Sahasranama as a last resort.” This is present in Cikitsa Sthanam, Chapter 8, Verse 311 of Caraka Samhita. The verse is given here under :

viShNum sahasra moordhaanam caraacara patim vibhum |

stuvan naama sahasrENa jwaraan sarvaan vyapOhati ||

which means when one propitiates Lord Vishnu, who is Lord of the entire Universe, through this Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam, all types of jwaraas ( fever, ill health, illness ) will leave them at once.

Also, in mantra maharnavam, one of the standard works of Mantra & Tantra, it is said that

anEna maMtritaM bhasma viSha graha mahaa bhayaan |

naaSayEt aciraat EvaM viShNOrnaama prabhaavata : |

which means when one sanctifies the sacred ash ( bhasma or vibhuti ) with Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam, and when this ash is consumed as medicine, all the poison, ghosts, grahas will perish and one will be fearless of the above.

In the classic text, the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, the Sage Parashara frequently recommends the recitation of the Vishnu Sahasranam, the thousand names of Vishnu, as the best remedial measure for planetary afflictions. Vishnu means “the all-pervading Divinity.” See the following verse:

“The most effective and beneficial remedial measure for the prolongation of longevity and to obtain relief from other evil effects is recitation of Vishnu Sahasranam.” ch 56 verse 30

Sage Parashara mentions this practice on at least 10 different occasions in his text. Here’s another verse:

“The remedial measure to obtain relief from the above evil effects, is recitation of Vishnu Sahasranam.” ch 59 verse 77
