Vishnu Sahasranamam in Kannada

The Vishnusahasranaamam (the Thousand Names of Vishnu) scripture is a part of the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata. It is essentially a prayer to the supreme Hindu diety Vishnu, by glorifying his innumerable qualities in the form of mellifluous poetry.

I have hosted the complete Vishnu Sahasranamam in Kannada on my site, at http://www.beligere.com/vs. This page contains the Sahasranama text in Kannada, in a PDF format. The Vishnusahasranaamam as rendered by Smt. M.S. Subbalakshmi is also available on this site.

Is Indian Horlicks non-vegetarian?

There's something fishy about Horlicks, the malt-based product we've grown up eating and drinking. On their UK website, check out this response in their FAQ section:

Q. Is Horlicks suitable for Vegetarian Diets?

A. Depending on what type of vegetarian diet is followed, Horlicks may be appropriate for vegetarian diets. The whey ingredients in Horlicks is vegetarian. However Horlicks contains a selection of added vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble and need a carrier to help them blend into the Horlicks mixture during manufacture. The carrier used, be it in minute amounts, is fish gelatin. Therefore Horlicks is not suitable for anyone who excludes fish from their diet.

Now, there are no details available on Horlicks in India. The GlaxoSmithKline India site does not offer any information about their products' ingredients. The main ingredients of the UK and Indian Horlicks are all the same. The Indian Horlicks has the same vitamins, minerals and proteins. So how are the Vitamins A and D being blended during manufacture in India? What is the carrier being used?

India is the largest world-wide consumer of Horlicks - there are over 2 billion cups of Horlicks being drunk in India every year (source). The market size is over Rs 800 crores (~ $ 174 million USD) (source). Surely they haven't been hoodwinking all these consumers (many of whom would be vegetarian) by including a fish-based carrier in their production system?

What do you say, GSK India?
