English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Yugavartaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *yuga* + *aavarta* (revolving, turning); "He Who Causes the Cycle of the Yugas to Revolve" - the power behind the great wheel of cosmic ages.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> The cosmic wheel of yugas rotates by Viṣṇu's power. **Interpretation<br> Yuga means age; āvarta means revolution, turning, cycle. Yugāvarta turns time's wheel. **Mythological Story<br> While Yugādikṛt (previous name) creates yuga cycles, Yugāvarta turns/rotates them - ensuring they progress from Satya → Tretā → Dvāpara → Kali, then reset to Satya again (after dissolution). This cosmic wheel (kālacakra) turns continuously - we're currently in Kali Yuga, which will eventually end, and after pralaya, Satya Yuga begins again. Who turns this wheel? The Yugāvarta! Like a potter turning clay on wheel creates pot-forms, the Yugāvarta turning yuga-wheel creates time-forms. But unlike mechanical wheel (turning mindlessly), the Yugāvarta turns consciously - each yuga precisely calibrated for collective karma's ripening. The teaching: we cannot stop or reverse time's wheel (attempting to return to "golden age" of Satya Yuga is futile) - the Yugāvarta's wheel turns forward relentlessly. But we CAN create our internal "golden age" by aligning with eternal dharma regardless of external yuga! For devotees in degraded Kali Yuga, this brings acceptance: don't waste energy lamenting the age or trying to restore past ages. Instead, work WITH the Yugāvarta - using Kali Yuga's specific advantages (easy liberation through nāma-chanting). The practice: accept the current yuga's challenges while utilizing its unique spiritual opportunities.
