Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Pushti' means nourishment, fullness, flourishing, growth. Vishnu is Pushtah — He who is always supremely nourished and full. Unlike the physical body that requires external food, Vishnu's divine nature is self-nourishing and eternally full (Purna). He is also the nourisher of all — as Pushanapati (lord of nourishment) He feeds and sustains every creature. ** Mythological Significance The Vishnu Purana describes how Vishnu sustains the entire food chain of the universe: from sunlight to plants, from plants to animals, from animals to humans. As Vaishvanara (the cosmic digestive fire), Vishnu actually dwells in the stomachs of all beings and digests their food. The story of Annapurna (food-giver) is connected to Vishnu's power of cosmic nourishment. When Lakshmi, Vishnu's consort, threatened to leave the world and all nourishment would cease — even Shiva had to beg for food from Annapurna. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning The Taittiriya Upanishad opens with: 'Annam Brahma' — food is Brahman. Vishnu as Pushtah is this divine nutritive principle — the spiritual nourishment (jnana, bhakti, grace) that truly sustains the soul. Just as the body grows weak without physical food, the soul grows weak without Vishnu's grace. The great Pushti Marga tradition of Vallabhacharya is entirely built around this name — Vishnu as the infinite source of divine Pushti (grace-nourishment) for the soul.
