Simple Meaning:
From *sam* (well, properly) + *nivaasa* (dwelling place, abode); "He Who Is the Proper and True Dwelling Place of All" - the rightful home of all beings; every soul is truly at home only when it rests in Him.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Sannivasa* means a gathered dwelling or a place where all come together to dwell. Vishnu as Sannivasa is the cosmic home — the sacred space in which all virtuous souls find their eternal dwelling. Vaikuntha (Vishnu's divine realm) is the Sannivasa — the gathering place of all liberated souls. **Spiritual Interpretation
The concept of *Vaikuntha* (Vishnu's abode) as the eternal home of liberated souls is the theology of Sannivasa. Unlike ordinary dwellings that are temporary, Vishnu's Sannivasa is eternal — once a soul enters it, there is no return to the cycle of birth and death. It is the ultimate home for which all souls are homesick. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana (2.2.21-27) describes the meditation journey to Vishnu's supreme abode — Vaikuntha — as the ultimate Sannivasa. The four Kumara sages (Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, Sanatkumara), the great devotees like Prahlada and Dhruva, and eventually all liberated souls dwell eternally in this Sannivasa.
विवेचन:
जो सज्जनांच्या, भक्तांच्या आणि शुद्ध अंतःकरणांच्या ठिकाणी वास करतो, तो सन्निवासः. पवित्रता, प्रेम आणि नामस्मरण जिथे आहे, तिथे त्याचे निवासस्थान आहे. तो मंदिरातही आहे आणि भक्ताच्या मनातही आहे.
अर्थ:
निवास करणारा
