English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Bhagavate Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From bhaga (all six divine qualities: knowledge, power, fame, beauty, wealth, detachment) + vaan (possessor); "He Who Possesses All Six Divine Qualities in Their Absolute Fullness" - this is the supreme defining name of the divine person; to be Bhagavaan is to be the absolute possessor of all perfections.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Bhagavaan* is defined precisely in the Vishnu Purana (6.5.74): *"One who possesses in full the six qualities of (1) complete strength (*bala*), (2) complete fame (*yashas*), (3) complete wealth (*shri*), (4) complete knowledge (*jnana*), (5) complete beauty (*vairagya* — here: detachment/beauty), and (6) complete renunciation (*aishvarya*) — is called Bhagavaan."* No human being, no demigod, and no cosmic power possesses all six in their completeness (*sampurna*). Only Vishnu is the complete Bhagavaan. **Spiritual Interpretation
The *Bhagavata Purana* is named after this quality — the scripture of the Bhagavaan, the one who possesses all six opulences absolutely. The great *Bhakti* tradition is essentially the exploration of these six divine opulences — devotees approaching Vishnu in His aspect of *Bala* (strength) through heroic devotion, in His aspect of *Shri* (beauty) through loving adoration, in His aspect of *Jnana* (knowledge) through philosophical inquiry, etc. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana (1.2.11): *"Learned scholars who know the Absolute Truth call this non-dual consciousness Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavaan."* This single verse contains the entire theology of the Bhagavatam — Bhagavaan is the personal, fully opulent aspect of the same absolute reality that the Vedantins call Brahman and the yogis call Paramatma.
