Sri Visnu Sahasranama

vishnusahasranam for daily recitation of Lord Vishnu 1000 names.

This is an excellent value and a nice chanting book. Also included is Sri Vishnu Sahasra Namavali. As a westerner with just a little background in Sanskrit I found I could chant all of Vishnu Sahasranama in roughly 23 minutes. A great help in pronunciation was MS Subbhulaksmi's recording of Sri Vishnu Sahasranama which is available on mp3. Adi Sankara's commentary is summarized in the translation by Swami Tapasyananda, very succinct and easy to follow, not brain-scrambling high philosophy.

Good

Don't even look at other commentaries ,This is the best commentary (in English) on this text available.

As shown in the picture, many verses are missing in the beginning. I am not sure what is the official version is but the book doesn’t match what MS Subulakshmi sings.That said, the rest is good. The devnagri script is legible. Translations and commentaries are available. Meanings for all sanskrit words in English is also listed at the end.
