Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Maha' (great/supreme) + 'Bhoga' (enjoyment, experience, the hood of a serpent). Vishnu is Mahaabhogah — He who experiences the most supreme, infinite, divine bliss (Ananda) in His own nature. He is also served by Adi Shesha (whose name literally means 'the Great Bhoga/Hood') — the cosmic serpent on whom Vishnu rests. Both meanings point to Vishnu's infinite, self-sufficient joy. ** Mythological Significance The image of Vishnu reclining on Adi Shesha (Ananta-Bhoga — the infinite coiled serpent) in the Karana-samudra (causal ocean) is the supreme icon of Mahaabhogah. The serpent's coils represent the infinite wealth and Bhoga (enjoyment and serpentine hoods) of Vishnu's divine existence. In the Bhagavata, Lakshmi — the goddess of all prosperity and enjoyment — is always at Vishnu's feet, indicating that He is the supreme enjoyer of all divine bliss. Even Ananta Shesha's thousand hoods serve as Vishnu's couch. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning Vedanta identifies Brahman with Ananda (bliss) — 'Anando Brahma' (Taittiriya Upanishad). Vishnu as Mahaabhogah is this supreme Ananda in its most magnificent, overflowing form. The Bhagavata Purana's Rasa-lila (the divine dance of Krishna with the Gopis) is the mythological expression of Vishnu's Mahaabhoga — divine bliss expressed through the medium of divine love. The spiritual goal of Bhakti is to partake in this divine enjoyment — not as separate beings seeking pleasure but as waves of the ocean of Vishnu's Mahaabhoga.
