    Vishnu shodasanama stotram with meanings


    (1)औषधे चिंतये विष्णुं, Oushade Chinthaye Vishnum
    -Think of him as Vishnu, when taking medicines.


    विश्वं विष्णुर्वषट्कारो भूतभव्यभवत्प्रभु: -
    "Vishvam Vishnurvashatkaaro Bhootha Bhavya Bhavath Prabhuhu"


    The Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra, as told by Bhishma to Yudhishtira, starts with the praising of Maha Vishnu as the all pervasive, supreme god. The word Vishnu can be deciphered as "विवेष्टि व्याप्नोति इति विष्णुः -Viveshti Vyaapnothi ithi Vishnuhu", which means that He who pervades everywhere is Vishnu. He is the sole one who pervades everywhere, and nothing ever pervades Him. The very same idea is emphasized by the puranas in the episode when Vishnu as Vamana, took the form of Trivikrama and measured the three worlds, in a symbolic deed of pervading and occupying them in completeness. As is mentioned in the Ishavasya Upanishad "ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वं - Ishaavaasyamidam Sarvam", all of this is indwelt by Him, the Lord. Nothing can or will exist without Him




    Sarvavyaapi Vishnu
    To think of this universal aspect of the supreme while administering medicine is a reiteration of the fact that He resides in us, as well as in the medicine, the hand which made it and the herbs from which it was made. We thus call upon Vishnu, who has pervaded and entered in to every single cell of our body, to make the medicine effective in healing any ailments. Definitely, this invocation of the Vaishnava Chaitanyam will multiply the effect of the medicine, driving away all the toxicity and negative energy, making the body much more receptive to the treatment.
