Om Padmanabhaya Namah।

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**The great mythological image<br> This is one of the most iconic images of Viṣṇu in all of Hindu iconography. Viṣṇu reclines on Ādiśeṣa (the cosmic serpent) on the milk-ocean (‘Kṣīra Sāgara’), in the state of ‘yoganidrā’ (divine sleep between cycles of creation). From His navel arises a lotus stalk, at the apex of which sits Brahmā, who is about to create the next universe. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (3.8) gives the fullest account of this primordial vision. **Symbolism<br> The navel (‘nābhi’) is the center of the body, the point of connection to one's mother. Viṣṇu's navel-lotus symbolizes that the entire universe is connected to Him as a child to its mother through the umbilical cord — sustained by His very life-force even as it appears to be separate and independent.
