शब्द:
ॐ अतीन्द्रियाय नमः।
विवेचन:
जो इंद्रियांच्या पलीकडे आहे, तो अतीन्द्रियः. डोळे, कान, स्पर्श किंवा मन यांच्या पलीकडील सूक्ष्म अनुभूतीनेच तो जाणवतो. तो भौतिक आकलनाच्या मर्यादांना ओलांडणारे परम तत्त्व आहे.
अर्थ:
इंद्रियांना न कळणारा.
English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Atindriyaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *ati* (beyond) + *indriya* (senses); "He Who Is Beyond the Reach of All the Senses" — the physical senses cannot perceive Him; He is known only through inner wisdom and devotion
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Ateendriya* means beyond (*ati*) the senses (*indriya*). Vishnu cannot be perceived through the five senses — eyes cannot see Him in His ultimate nature, ears cannot hear Him, etc. He is the subject of all experience but cannot Himself be made an object of experience through ordinary means. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Katha Upanishad (3.10-11) describes the hierarchy of the subtle — senses are higher than objects, mind is higher than senses, intellect higher than mind, the great self higher than intellect — and ultimately the Purusha (Vishnu) who transcends all. He is Ateendriya — beyond all instruments of knowing. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (1.3.38) states that Vishnu's form is beyond the range of ordinary perception — only purified through yoga and devotion can the consciousness perceive Him. Yet paradoxically, He makes Himself available to the devotee — the grace of *Ateendriya* descending to meet the devotee at the level of the senses.
