Meaning:
Om Shokanashanaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *shoka* + *naashana* (destroyer); "He Who Destroys and Removes All Sorrow" - going beyond being sorrowless Himself, He actively destroys the sorrow of all beings who turn to Him with sincere devotion.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Shoka* = sorrow and *naashana* = destroyer. While *Vishoka* (632) describes Vishnu's own sorrowless nature, *Shoka-Naashana* describes His active role in destroying the sorrow of His devotees. He does not merely model sorrowlessness — He actively liberates others from sorrow through His grace, His presence, and His divine intervention. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita's entire teaching is an act of Shoka-Naashana — Vishnu (Krishna) responding to Arjuna's profound sorrow (*Vishada*) with the complete revelation of truth that transforms the sorrowing warrior into a liberated, fearless, and joyful instrument of the divine. This is the supreme Shoka-Naashana — complete liberation from fundamental existential sorrow. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (12.12.48) confirms: *"Shoka-naashana is attained by hearing the stories of Vishnu."* Every *Katha* (sacred narrative) of Vishnu is a divine act of Shoka-Naashana — systematically dismantling the sorrow of ignorance and replacing it with the joy of divine knowledge.
