    Its an excellent job !
    I have been trying to do the same and see how many names I can collect for each name of VS from Madhwa perspective Only though..In the effort I had collected a series of posting on Dvaita list by A.R.Racmachandra…

    Namaskara Harshala,

    I had a look at the document. Its an excellent collection. Once I complete the initial work, would it be ok if I borrowed content from that document and included it in the portal?

    Regards, Hari

    Hari..
    If you could please reply on my email.. I will pass on the info to you. I guess Dwaita.org people are ok as long as you mention the original author and dvaita.org website.

    Its a great work you are doing ! All the best… Someday we might collect all the hundred meanings of each name as told by SrimaMadhwacharya.
    Thanks

    Hari,

    Nice work. One observation though – Usage of devanagari script would have helped immensely. I know you have keys for pronouncing, but nothing like having the devanagari script itself.

    excellent. sri Adhamaru swamigalu has given pravachana ( lecture)on vishnu sahasranama giving the back ground for each namaas ( Names). If one hears with this list one can realise the glory of the Lord Hari.It has come in CD for all the 1000 names.

    I just came across your site and find it very well organized. I admire your interest and passion to write about VSN. I did not get a chance to go through the whole list of the names, but I am sure I will do that shortly. But I just wanted to drop in a note of appreciation for what you are doing. Going by some of the comments, is all the commentary and meanings strictly based on dwaita philosophy of Sri Madhvacharya?

    I am traveling along the same path as you are. I have been chanting VSN for a few years now and I could help but start writing my thoughts down myself. In the process I started writing a series on VSN on my blog at: http://www.sohamtimes.org/2010/10/vsn-announcement/

    Appreciate if you drop by and provide your valuable feedback.

    Thank you, Hari. Found this website from your Twitter timeline recently.
    I took the liberty of creating an Excel version. I wanted to create a simple FlashCard format to learn the meanings. Thought others may find it useful as well.
