English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Viksharaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *vi* + *kshara* (imperishable, not flowing away); "The Utterly Imperishable One" - beyond even the ordinary imperishable (*akshara*), He is entirely immune to any form of dissolution or decay.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> While all else is kṣara (perishable), Viṣṇu is vikṣara/akṣara (imperishable). **Interpretation<br> Vi-kṣara means not perishing, not decaying. The eternally unchanging reality. **Mythological Story<br> The Gītā's teaching on kṣara-akṣara (perishable-imperishable) is fundamental: "kṣaraḥ sarvāṇi bhūtāni kūṭastho'kṣara ucyate" (all beings are perishable; the unchanging is called imperishable). Everything we see - bodies, relationships, possessions, even thoughts - is kṣara (perishing continuously). But witnessing all this change is the Vikṣara - the imperishable consciousness that never changes. When universe dissolves at mahā-pralaya, what remains? The Vikṣara! When new universe emerges, from what does it emerge? The Vikṣara! The Vikṣara is like the movie screen - movies come and go (creation and dissolution), but screen remains unchanged. For devotees depressed by life's impermanence (aging, death, loss, change), the Vikṣara teaching brings stability: yes, everything at the surface level is kṣara (perishing). But your deepest nature is the Vikṣara (imperishable) - that which you truly are can never perish! The body dies, but You (consciousness) are the Vikṣara. The practice: when feeling mortal and vulnerable, meditate - "This body is kṣara (perishing) but I (the witness) am Vikṣara (imperishable). I am not this dying form but the deathless consciousness - which is the Vikṣara's own nature."
