Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is the significance of Narayana in this mantra?
Narayana means "the one who abides in the waters (Nara)" or "the final abode of all beings." It refers to Vishnu resting on the cosmic ocean (Kshirasagara) on the serpent Ananta before creation. Meditating on Narayana invokes this primal, all-pervading presence of divine consciousness that supports and sustains all life.
