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.
