Simple Meaning:

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Meaning<br> "He who causes the wheel of saṃsāra to revolve" or "He who turns souls back toward Himself." **Vedantic interpretation<br> This name captures the dual role of the Lord as the engine of cosmic cyclicality and as the force of spiritual return. He is the cause of the revolving wheel of creation, sustenance, and dissolution (Sṛṣṭi-Sthiti-Laya). Everything — planets, seasons, yugas, the lives of beings — moves in cycles governed by His will. **Scriptural references<br> The Bhagavad Gītā (9.10) declares: *"Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram"* — "Under My supervision, Prakṛti (Nature) produces the moving and unmoving." Āvartanaḥ is the One whose superintendence sets this ceaseless revolution in motion. In the Viṣṇu Purāṇa (1.2), Viṣṇu is described as the one in whom all cycles of time and existence find both their origin and resolution. **Spiritual dimension<br> Śaṅkarācārya interprets this as He who "turns" the jīva (individual soul) repeatedly through cycles of birth and death according to karma, until liberation is attained. Conversely, He also "turns" the sincere seeker back toward mokṣa — the great reversal from outward-facing consciousness to inward recognition of the Self.
