Shri Vishnu Chalisa
Lord Vishnu
Vishnu is the Preserver of the Universe. He is one among the Trinity of Gods and is revered as the Supreme Protector and Sustainer of the living beings. Also known by other names such as Hari or Narayana, he has the Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi, as his consort, and together, they remain the Divine Parents, who provide for and sustain all lives on earth.
Vishnu is also the upholder of Dharma, the righteous order, who annihilates evil and establishes virtue. In order to achieve this divine objective, he descends on earth whenever evil tries to raise its head, threatening the good. These are famous as Vishnu’s Avatars or incarnations, when he assumes different forms and takes on the wicked, slays or subdues them, relieves the earth of their cruelty, thus protects the virtuous and ensures their well-being, and establishes justice, balance, and order on earth. While Vishnu has taken many Avatars, 10 of them are considered highly significant and are together celebrated as Dasavatar.
According to legends, Vishnu resides with his consort Lakshmi in his heavenly abode of Vaikunta. While he is reclining on the giant serpent Adi Sesha or Sesh Nag, Brahma, the Creator, is said to have emerged from the lotus that blossomed from Vishnu’s navel. He has as his powerful weapons, the formidable discus Sudarshana Chakra and the mighty Gadha or mace, and Panchajanya as the reverberating Shankha or conch. He rides on his divine vehicle, Garuda, the mighty eagle.
Worshipping Vishnu with faith and devotion can bestow devotees with all his material and spiritual blessings, ensure a prosperous life of welfare and joy on earth, and lead to the ultimate goal of salvation.

tribhuvana phaila rahi ujiyari ॥ 2 ॥
Sundara Rupa Manohara Surata ।
Sarala Svabhava Mohini Murata ॥ 3 ॥
Tana Para Pitambara Ati Sohata ।
Baijanti Mala Mana Mohata ॥ 4 ॥
Shankha Chakra Kara Gada Biraje ।
Dekhata Detaye Asura Dala Bhaje ॥ 5 ॥
Satya Dharma Mada Lobha Na Gaje ।

Santabhakta Sajjana Manaranjana ।
Danuja Asura Dushtana Dala Ganjana ॥ 7 ॥
Sukha Upjaye Kashta Saba Bhanjana ।
Dhosha Mitaye Karata Jana Sajjana ॥ 8 ॥
Papa Kata Bhava Sindhu Utarana ।
Kashta Nashkara Bhakata Ubarana ॥ 9 ॥

Mandrachala Giri Turata Uthaya ॥ 17 ॥
Shankara Ka Tuma Phanda Chudaya ।
Bhasmasura Ko Rupa Dikhaya ॥ 18 ॥
Vedana Ko Jaba Asura Dubaya ।
Kara Prabandha Unhe Dhundhawaya ॥ 19 ॥
Mohita Bankara Khalahi Nachaya ।
Usahi Kara Se Bhasma Karaya ॥ 20 ॥
Asura Jalandhara Ati Baladayi ।
Shankara Se Una Kinha Ladayi ॥ 21 ॥
Hara Para Shiva Sakala Banaye ।
Kina Sati Se Chala Khala Jayi ॥ 22 ॥
Sumirana Kina Tumhe Shivarani ।
Batalayi Saba Vipata Kahani ॥ 23 ॥
Taba Tuma Bane Munishwara Gyani ।
Vrinda Ki Saba Surati Bhulani ॥ 24 ॥
Dekhata Tina Danuja Shaitani।

Karahu Apka Kisa Vidhi Pujana ।
Kumati Viloka Hota Dukha Bhishana ॥ 34 ॥
Karahu Pranama Kauna Vidhisumirana ।
Kauna Bhanti Main Karahu Samarpana ॥ 35 ॥
Sura Muni Karata Sada Sivakai ।
Harshita Rahata Parama Gati Payi ॥ 36 ॥
Mina Dukhina Para Sada Sahai ।
Nija Jana Jana Leva Apanayi ॥ 37 ॥
Papa Dosha Santapa Nashao ।
Bhava Bandhana Se Mukta Karao ॥ 38 ॥
Suta Sampati De Sukha Upjao ।
Nija Charanana Ka Dasa Banao ॥ 39 ॥
Nigama Sada Ye Vinaya Sunavai ।
Padhai Sunai So Jana Sukha Pavai ॥ 40 ॥
Ithi Sri Vishnu Chalisa Sampoornam ||
