Vishnu Sahasranama Stothram is the devotional Vedic Hymns which explains the thousand (1000) names of Lord Vishnu. There is another version of Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra found in the Padma Purana one of the major eighteen Puranas. However the Vishnu Sahasranamam found in the Mahabharatha is the most popular version. The Vishnu Sahasranāma is popular among common Hindus and a major part of prayer for devout Vaishnavas or followers of Vishnu. While Vaishanvas venerate other deities they believe that the universe including the other divinities such as Shiva and Devi is ultimately a manifestation of the Supreme Lord Vishnu.
