Re: Opening of Vishnu Sahasranamam...

Dear Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan,

    Your email has brought to mind several things I have seen for myself in
India, especially with regards to Ayyapan. Not to get off track, the
information about Sri Vishwaksena is quite intriguing to me. Is there any
temple dedicated to the Lord that has a notable shrine to Sri Viswaksena
(aside from Tirupathi)? I guess when I have visited major temples to Lord
Narayana like Tirupathi, my family rush through and we usually miss seeing
other sannidhis  as a result (I might have missed having a darshan of Sri
Vishwaksena even while being in quite close quarters!). I actually found a
picture of him online (from Tirupathi's official website) which to me, being
an artist, is immensely helpful. For those interested, here it is:

adiyen Sri Ramanuja daasan,

Ganesha. It is a salutory to Shri Vishwaksenar the senadhipadhi of Lord
Shriman Narayana. We do the Vishwaksena upasanai during almost all our
rountine yagnas. [...]
