Visnu Sahasranama - Tapa blanda

In these lectures I have sought to explain the place of bhakti a constituent of which is reciting the names and glories of God as the most polent auxiliary on the practical side of Advaita And these lectures as the title suggests are based upon a study of the Vishnu-sahasranama It is hoped that the contents of this book will engage the attention of the scholar as well as the general reader Iam grateful to the authorities of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan for publishing these lectures under their popular Book University series and to the University of Madras for permission given for the publication
