Why do Spiritual Doctors prescribe chanting
Vishnu Sahasranamam more than reading
Bhagavad Gita?
Bhagavad Gita is the quintessence of
Mahabharata and a sermon by Lord Krishna,
while Vishnu Sahasranamam is a prayer sung
by Bheeshma as his parting message to
Pandavas.
Actually Sri Krishna himself requested
Bheeshma to reveal these stostras to Pandavas.
Bheeshma was surprised and Questioned
Krishna,"why are you choosing Me at this stage
in My life for This., while You yourself
could do this.?"
Then the Lord clarified: "Mine is like water of
the Ocean.,which is not potable. When the
message is through you,it is like Rain from the
Cloud formed out of water from the ocean.This
of course can quench the thirst. Moreover, I am
the quintessance of Vedas. Whatever I say
would appear as though I am Extolling myself.
On the other hand, if you, a realised soul,
speak about it, t has universal acceptance."
Thus we can conclude that "Bhagavad Gita is
like the root of a tree, while Vishnu
Sahasranamam is the Fruit from it."
Be blissful.
Wishing you the most and more.
