Post 6

Dear Sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,
 
In this post, we will enjoy the sri vishNu sahasra naamaavali with naamaas
having the common thread of the anga varNanai of my krishna - or is it
narasimha - as you could see from the post. We will combine all parts of the
body starting from feet to head and the full body. 

May be this enjoyment has to be slightly divided and shared in two posts -
because of  the large number of naamaas available to form the aavaLi.
