Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Taittirīya Upaniṣad connection<br> The Taittirīya Upaniṣad's ‘Bhṛguvallī’ culminates in the realization ‘"Annaṃ Brahma"‘ and ‘"Annam Brahmeti vyajānāt"‘ — "Food is Brahman." ‘Bhojanam’ carries this teaching forward: Viṣṇu is not only food (‘Annam’, as in name 984 of the Sahasranāma) but the act of ‘enjoying’ food — the experience of nourishment, pleasure, and sustenance itself. Every experience of satisfaction, of delight, of being nourished — physical or spiritual — is ultimately participation in Viṣṇu as Bhojanam. **Devotional dimension<br> In the ‘naivedya’ (food offering) ritual of Vaiṣṇava worship, food is offered to Viṣṇu before being consumed — acknowledging that He is both the food and the enjoyer of food. As Bhojanam, He receives the offering; as ‘Bhoktā’ (name 143, next), He enjoys it. The worshipper participates in divine nourishment by offering what has first been consecrated to the Lord.
