What Sahasranama Chanting is
A thousand names, chanted correctly, is a serious undertaking and an unusually satisfying one. We build it in sections, with the meaning of the names given as we go, so it never becomes an unbroken wall of sound.
A practice kept up quietly, for years, changes the person keeping it.
