THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BHAGAVAD GITA AND VISHNU SAHASRANAMAM


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.
