This is a form of worshiping the deity with some thousands of "naamas"(names) of that deity... The famous sahasranamas in India are "Lalitha sahasranamam" and "Vishnu Sahasranamam". It is believed that it can bring prosperity to life. If you need to know the worth of sahasranama I can suggest you to read the story of "Prahlada" in hindu mythology and hope you are Keralite, and if you are you need to know his story as he is known as the father of our great king Mahabali
