Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 (2) Vishnuh -The term Vishnu is dissolved as Veveshti Vyaapnoti iti Vishnuh-That which pervades every- where is Vishnu. That which has the nature of pervasiveness is Vishnu. He is the one who pervades all and nothing ever pervades Him. `Eesaavaasyam Idam Sarvam'-All this is indwelt, pervaded by the Lord. This very same idea is described in the typical style of the Puranas, in the incarnation of the Lord as Vaamana, the short-boy, who, with His three feet, measured the entire universe. Because of this act, the Lord got the name Vishnu, says Mahaabhaarata. Vishnu Purana (3-1) says: The root Vis means `to enter'. The entire world of things and beings is pervaded by Him and the Upanishad emphatically insists in its mantra `whatever that is there is the world of change'. Hence it means that He is not limited by space (Desa), time (Kaala) or substance (Vastu). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
