Commentary on the Viṣṇusahasranāma, a portion of the Mahābhārata.

LeannePorter | Jul 7, 2023 |

'The Constant Companion' is a book for daily inspiration - short, personal reminders that Divinity can be found all around us, if we only look. In each piece, Eknath Easwaran selects one of India's traditional Thousand Names of the Lord and shows its universal significance: that these are not only names of God, but also aspactes of the spark of Divinity within us. This book also includes an English translation of the portion of the Mahabharata (a Sanskrit epic) known as Vishnusahasranama, the "Thousand Names of Vishnu".
