 One should never forget to chant the names of Sri Hari. Sri Hari in all earnestness gives salvation to those who write, read & listen to His glorious names. Constantly & devotedly chanting the names of Sri Hari is the only remedy for all sins & sorrows. He is our refuge & He is our goal.

One should contemplate on Vishnu when consuming medicines, Janardan when eating, Padmanabh when sleeping, Prajapati during a marriage ceremony, Lord Chakradhar (Vishnu / Krushna) when fighting a battle, Trivikram during a journey, Narayan at the time of death, Shridhar during intercourse between spouses, Govind in case of a bad dream, Madhusudan in a calamity, Narsinha in the forest, the form of Vishnu in the celestial ocean (kshirasagar) when threatened by fire, His Varaha incarnation when there is fear of drowning, Raghunandan when there is fear of fall from a mountain and Madhav when performing day-to-day chores.

One will realise from the following examples why certain Names of Lord Vishnu are used for a particular mission.

• Since Prajapati created the universe and is responsible for procreation during a marriage ceremony His Name is chanted.
• During a fight the Name of Vishnu who sports a discus (chakra), Chakradhari should be chanted.
• Since the lion is the king of the forest if one chants the Name of Narsinha (the man-lion incarnation) in the forest one is protected.
• The Varaha (boar) incarnation of Lord Vishnu lifted the earth from the waters and placed it on the head of the serpent, Shesh. Hence when there is fear of drowning this Name should be chanted.

The various rupas mentioned in the various avataras, Vyuhas and the Sri Vishnu Sahasranama are " different " via the strength of Vishesha.

For example, the same namas mentioned in the Dashavataras such as Vamana/Trivikrama and Narasimha and Sri Krishna are " different " from those mentioned in the 24 Keshavadi Namas.

Also for example, the sankarshana, aniruddha, pradyumna, vasudeva and narayana rupas are " different " from the same names mentioned in the 24 Keshavadi Namas. These are " distinguished " where the color of specific rupas are sometimes mentioned to enable one to make out that it is the pancha vyuha vs. the 24 vyuha etc etc.

And within the Sri Vishnu Sahasranama itself, there are multiple repetitions, which are " different " as well.

While doing the Kalasha puja where we invoke the 51 matrikas rupas , the 24 keshavadi rupas, the 10 avatara rupas, the 4 vAsudevadi rupas (Vasudeva, Pradhyumna, Sankarshana, Anirudha), the 4 vishvAdi (Vishwa, tejasa, pragnyA, turya) rupas and the 4 Atmadi (atma, antaraatma, paramathma, jnAnAthma) rupas along with Vedavyasa, dattatreya and Simshumara rupas as being repetitive!

Paramathma has neither birth nor death; neither growth nor decline and is devoid of all limitations and blemishes. He has hands and legs, head and eyes and other limbs everywhere. Our eyes can see only but cannot hear, smell, taste and so on, but there is no difference between Himself and various parts of His body like limbs, nails, hair etc nor His variousaMtaryAmi rUpa-s. (svagata beda vivarjitha concept). shrI Jagannatha dAsaru in his Magnum opus Harikathamruthasaara, 2nd chapter, 8th, 9th verse..
