The 108 names of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, of Shri Mahakali, of Shri Shiva are based on the Sahaja Yoga shastras and thus have a definite capacity of sustaining our meditation. But the 108 names of Shri Vishnu ( Lord Vishnu ) in the May-June issue of Nirmala Yoga represent, in some sense, a rather descriptive, more random selection of the Sahasranama; they do not, as such, typically reflect the teachings of Sahaja Yoga.
For instance some of these names correspond rather to the Shiva tattwa (Swayambu, Ugra, Sana, Ishwara) while others refer to the Brahmadeva tattwa (Hiranyagarbha, Prajapati).
Therefore it was felt useful to propose here 108 names of Shri Vishnu which bring a more specific focus on those aspects of the Lord of Shri Lakshmi which have been highlighted in Nirmala Vidya, that is, in the teachings of Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
The list starts with those famous names which correspond to the nadis within the sushumna
