Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Shaanta* means peaceful, calm, tranquil. Vishnu is Shaanta — the absolute peace that underlies all cosmic activity. Unlike the surface turbulence of the ocean, the deep is perfectly still; similarly, beneath all the cosmic drama of creation, preservation, and dissolution, Vishnu's divine nature is perfectly *Shaanta*. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (2.70-71) describes the ideal state of *Shaanti*: *"That person attains peace who, though desires flow into him from all sides like rivers into the ocean — yet remains unagitated and unmoved. The one who has abandoned all desires and moves without longing, without the sense of 'I' and 'mine' — that person attains peace (*Shaanti*)."* Vishnu as Shaanta is this absolute peace — the model and the source of all genuine peace. **Puranic Reference<br> The *Shantipath* mantras of the Vedas (*"Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti"*) are prayers to the divine peace that is Vishnu — peace at the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. The *Shanti-Parva* of the Mahabharata (the longest book, dealing with statecraft and philosophy) is essentially Bhishma's teaching about attaining the Shaanta nature of Vishnu.
