Different names of Lord Vishnu
Vedic Synergy focuses on Ayurvedic Wellness and Spiritual healing and during our Advanced course we do expose our clients to concepts, and mantras from the Vedic texts like the Bhagavad Gita.
During one of these sessions, one of my clients asked to understand the different names of Lord Vishnu other than Narayana (which came up in a bhajan). In keeping with this request, I have shown below some of the more common names used for Lord Vishnu and the meaning of these names.

Aditya – Child of the Infinite
Anandi – Bringer of Joy
Anant – He who is endless
