About  

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.

When to chant this:  

Devotees usually do this chanting daily; if this is not convenient they perform this at least on their birthdays, on eclipse days and on the day which sun moves from one zodiac to another.

The Benefits:  

This chanting has been prescribed by sastras for warding of troubles arising from the position of stars, planets, anger of rulers, incurable diseases and ruthless enemies. Moreover this purifies mind there by letting one gain more inner poise for meditation.
