Names of the Lord
Description
Short inspirational readings based on India's Thousand Names of Vishnu give us warm, personal reminders to support us spiritually in our daily lives.
Most of the world's major religions have a tradition celebrating the Holy Names of God, and in Hinduism one of the most popular is the Thousand Names of Vishnu. Easwaran grew up hearing and reciting these names as a child, and for him they were a constant reminder that there is a spark of divinity in everyone. Here he has selected some of the names and added a personal, practical commentary on what each name means in daily living.
The result is a warm, uplifting book for those who want to see God in the faces and events of everyday life.
