English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Mahashaktaye Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *shakti* (power, energy); "He of Supreme Power and Energy" — the ultimate power from whom all forces in the universe — physical, divine, and cosmic — derive their energy.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Mahaa* = great and *Shakti* = power/energy/force. Vishnu's *Shakti* is supreme — not merely one power among many but the ultimate power from which all other powers derive. The Goddess Lakshmi, eternally united with Vishnu, represents His *Shakti* — the divine creative and sustaining energy inseparable from His being. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> In Sri Vaishnava philosophy, the relationship between Vishnu (*Vishishtadvaita*) and His *Shakti* (Lakshmi) is the model of the relationship between the supreme Being and its power — non-different yet not entirely the same. Vishnu as Mahashakti encompasses both the wielder and the wielded power — both Shiva and Shakti, both Purusha and Prakriti. **Puranic Reference<br> The Devi Bhagavata and the Shakta Upanishads describe the *Para-Shakti* (supreme energy) as non-different from Vishnu-Brahman. The Lalita Sahasranama and Vishnu Sahasranama, taken together, represent two descriptions of the same infinite reality from its consciousness (Vishnu) and energy (Shakti) aspects.
