ॐ कारणाय नमः।

जो सर्वाचा कारणरूप आधार आहे, तो कारणम्. जे काही घडते, प्रकटते किंवा टिकते त्यामागे अंतिम कारण म्हणून तोच उभा असतो. कार्यकारणभावाच्या शृंखलेचा मूळ केंद्रबिंदू म्हणजे परमेश्वर.
अर्थ:
जगाचे मूळ कारण.
English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Karanaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From the same root; "The Ultimate Cause" - going deeper than *karanam*, He is the primal, uncaused cause from which all other causes arise; the first principle of causation in the cosmos.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Mythological Context
While Karaṇam (379) meant "instrument," Kāraṇam means "cause." The subtle difference: instrument is what you use; cause is why it happens. Viṣṇu is both! In Sāṅkhya philosophy, prakṛti is upādāna-kāraṇa (material cause), but who activates prakṛti? The Kāraṇam - Viṣṇu as the initiating cause! **Devotional Application
When seeking reasons ("Why did this happen?"), trace causation back to the ultimate Kāraṇam. All intermediate causes (karma, nature, choices) ultimately flow from this source-cause.
