English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Chakragadadharaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From chakra (discus) + gadaa (mace) + dhara (bearer); "He Who Bears the Discus and the Mace" - the two most iconic weapons of Vishnu: the Sudarshana Chakra (wheel of pure vision) and the Kaumodaki mace, representing the power of divine will and divine knowledge.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Purāṇic Reference<br> Extensive descriptions in Viṣṇu Purāṇa of the divine weapons. **Mythological Explanation<br> Cakra means discus (Sudarśana - "auspicious vision"); gadā means mace (Kaumodakī - "joy-giver"); dhara means bearer. These aren't mere weapons but divine energies! **Sudarśana Cakra**: Represents mind/time - spinning endlessly, cutting through ignorance, maintaining cosmic order. The discus destroyed demons who thought themselves invincible! **Kaumodakī Gadā**: Represents prāṇa/life-force - blunt power crushing obstacles. When wielded by the Cakragadādhara, even mountains crumble! Together, these weapons symbolize: sharp discrimination (cakra) and forceful implementation (gadā) - wisdom knowing what to do and power to do it! For devotees facing enemies (internal vices or external opposition), invoke the Cakragadādhara: "O Bearer of Discus and Mace, use Your sharp wisdom and powerful force to destroy my enemies!"
