English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Mahaviraya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *veerya* (virility, valor, vital force); "He of Supreme Valor and Vital Power" — His courage, vitality, and heroic force are absolute, the source of all valor in all the worlds.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Mahaa* = great and *veerya* = valor, heroism, and also generative potency. Vishnu as Mahaveerya possesses infinite heroic power — the courage to face and defeat all cosmic evil — and also infinite generative power, from which the entire universe is born. *Veerya* in Sanskrit encompasses both physical valor and creative potency. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (10.36) includes *tejah* (valor) among Vishnu's divine manifestations in the world. Vishnu as Mahaveerya is the source of heroism in all heroes — Arjuna's courage at Kurukshetra, Hanuman's valor in Lanka, and Prahlada's defiance of his demonic father are all expressions of Vishnu's Mahaveerya flowing through His devotees. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana's descriptions of Vishnu's avatars are essentially narratives of His Mahaveerya — each avatar demonstrating an aspect of His infinite heroic power. Narasimha's destruction of Hiranyakashipu, Parashurama's conquest of the warrior class, and Rama's defeat of Ravana are all expressions of Mahaveerya.
