Meaning:
Om Virajaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *vi* + *raja* (free from passion/dust/darkness); "He Who Is Free From All Passion and Impurity" - His nature is completely free from *rajas* (passion, agitation, and attachment); He is perfectly pure.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Vi' (free from) + 'Rajas' (passion, activity, dust, the second of the three gunas). Vishnu is Virajo — He who is entirely free from Rajas (passion, agitation, desire), from Tamas (inertia, darkness), and even beyond Sattva (purity). He transcends all the three gunas (Trigunatita) and dwells in pristine, untainted, absolute purity. ** Mythological Significance The Vishnu Purana distinguishes Vishnu from Brahma (associated with Rajas — creative energy) and Shiva (associated with Tamas — dissolving energy). Vishnu's Sattvic (pure) nature is described repeatedly. Yet He transcends even Sattva — He is Nirguna (beyond all qualities) in His highest aspect. The Bhagavata's Shruti-gita (prayers of the Vedic texts personified) declares Vishnu to be 'Niranjana' — unstained, like a mirror that reflects all without being touched by any. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning Virajo is a profound name for meditation. The Gita (14.19-20) teaches that one who sees clearly that all action is done by the three gunas — and the Self (Atman) is the unchanging witness — becomes free from the gunas. Vishnu as Virajo models this transcendence of the gunas. In yoga, Viraja-homa is a ritual of purification performed at sannyasa-diksha (taking monastic vows) — the seeker offering up all passion and attachment. Chanting this name of Vishnu invokes His guna-transcending grace. References: Bhagavad Gita 14.19-22; Vishnu Purana 1.2; Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.24; Svetasvatara Upanishad 6.11
