Inclusive society of Sanathana Dharma

We are what we are ...

Many of you would have recited Vishnu Sahasranama and some of you may recite it by heart. As children , in many households in the South , we have witnessed the daily recital of Vishnu Sahasranama either individually or in groups. Some households may play the MS Subbulakshmi's divine rendering of the celestial song and listen to it devoutly. This recital of 1008 namas of Bhagawan Maha Vishnu was orginally done by Bhishma Pitamaha and it appears in Anushasana Parva in Section/Chapter 149, verses 14 to 120.
This prayer praising the Purushothaman, Bhagwan Sriman Narayanan has been the subject matter of detailed commentary/ exposition (bhashya)by Adi Sankara, Sri Parasara Bhattar etc.
I am not competent to write about them. But one thing in the Shasranama prayer stands out. At the end of the Shasranama, Maa Parvati asks Eswar, is there any easy way for a simpleton to recite the name of Bhagawan, as he may not be able to recite the Shasranama. Eswar obliges Her by saying Yes reciting the Ram nama is equal to reciting the Sahasranama and Bhagwan would be pleased to hear Ram nama .

Parvathi:"Keno payane laguna vishnor nama sahasrakaam;
Patyathe pandithair nithyam srodhu micham yaham prabho.
Eswar; "SriRama rama ramethi rame raame manorame,
sahasranama thathulyam rama nama varanane"

The above question and answer is the bedrock of Inclusivity of Sanathana Dharma.Nobody is left out including the last man standing, making it easy for him to reach Bhagwan. Unto the Last !
