English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Shridharaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *Shree* + *dhara* (bearer, holder); "He Who Bears and Holds Lakshmi" - He carries the goddess of grace and prosperity as His inseparable possession; Lakshmi rests upon His chest as the *Shreevatsa* mark, ever present.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Shri* = Lakshmi and *dhara* = bearer/holder. Vishnu as Shreedhara holds, carries, and permanently supports Lakshmi — She resides on His chest and rests in His divine nature. The entire divine grace (*Shri*) of the universe rests on and is borne by Vishnu as Shreedhara. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> In the Advaita tradition, *Shri* (the cosmic auspiciousness principle) rests on *Sat* (the cosmic being principle). Vishnu as Shreedhara is this ontological support — the Being (*Sat*) that bears and sustains the auspiciousness (*Shri*) of existence. Without Vishnu's sustaining power, even divine grace (*Shri*) could not maintain itself. **Puranic Reference<br> The name *Shreedhara* is among the most commonly used Vishnu names in devotional literature — particularly in South Indian traditions. The Bhagavata Purana frequently refers to Vishnu by this name, emphasizing the inseparable union of the divine couple as the source of cosmic auspiciousness.
