Meaning:
Om Mahejyaya Namah।

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Maha' (great) + 'Ijya' (worthy of worship). If Ijyah is the worshippable one, Mahejyah is the MOST worshippable — the supreme recipient of the greatest forms of worship. He is worthy of the grand Vedic yajnas, the elaborate Agama rituals, and the simplest heartfelt prayer equally. His greatness as the object of worship is beyond measure. ** Mythological Significance The Srimad Bhagavatam describes how in Dvapara Yuga, King Ambarisha offered the grandest worship to Vishnu — combining the Ashwamedha yajna with unshakeable bhakti. When the sage Durvasa came to disturb this worship, Vishnu sent His Sudarshana Chakra to protect His devotee, demonstrating that true Mahejya worship protects the worshipper. Even Durvasa had to seek Ambarisha's forgiveness. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning The juxtaposition of names 447 (Ijyah) and 448 (Mahejyah) teaches that Vishnu is not only worthy of all worship, He is worthy of the greatest and most exalted worship. The highest worship is described in the Bhagavad Gita as 'Satatam Kirtayanto Maam' — those who always sing His glories, bow to Him, worship Him with devotion. This continuous, loving worship of a pure heart is the Mahejya offering. 📖 References: Srimad Bhagavatam 9.4 (Ambarisha story); Bhagavad Gita 9.13-14; Vishnu Purana 4.11; Narada Bhakti Sutras 80-82
