English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Vishokaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *vi* (without) + *shoka* (sorrow, grief); "He Who Is Free From All Sorrow and Grief" - His being is absolutely untouched by sorrow; the divine state of sorrowless joy that is liberation is His natural, eternal condition.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Vi* = completely free from and *shoka* = sorrow/grief. Vishnu as Vishoka is the one who is absolutely free from all forms of suffering, grief, or sorrow — His divine nature is eternally blissful, untouched by the sorrow that characterizes existence in the material world. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The spiritual path's ultimate goal is the destruction of *Shoka* (sorrow) — the fundamental suffering of existence. The Bhagavad Gita literally begins with Arjuna's *Vishada* (sorrow/despondency) and ends with the promise of liberation from all sorrow. Vishnu as Vishoka is both the state beyond sorrow AND the means of reaching that state. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (10.14.55): *"Let my mind be fixed on the one who is Vishoka — through whose remembrance all sorrow is instantly destroyed."* This is the devotee's aspiration — to reach the Vishoka state of Vishnu by filling the mind with His divine presence.
