English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Pranadaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *praana* (life-breath, vital energy) + *da* (giver); "The Giver of Life and Vital Energy" — the source of the *praana* that animates all living beings.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Significance<br> ‘Prāṇa’ is not merely breath in a physiological sense — it is the fundamental life-force (‘prāṇa-śakti’) that animates all existence. Without Viṣṇu's continuous bestowal of prāṇa, all life would instantly cease. The Praśna Upaniṣad (2.1–13) gives an elaborate account of prāṇa's supremacy over all faculties, concluding that prāṇa itself derives from and returns to the supreme Brahman. The Bhagavad Gītā (15.14): ‘"Ahaṃ vaiśvānaro bhūtvā prāṇināṃ deham āśritaḥ / prāṇāpāna-samāyuktaḥ pacāmy annaṃ catur-vidham"‘ — the Lord is the life-fire within every body, administering the vital airs (‘prāṇa’ and ‘apāna’). As Prāṇadaḥ, He gives this sacred gift of life to every creature at every moment.
