Simple Meaning:
From *vishva* (universe) + *moorti* (form, embodiment); "He Whose Form Is the Universe Itself" - the entire cosmos is His visible body; when one sees the universe, one is seeing the outer form of the divine being.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Vishva* = universe/all and *moorti* = form/body. Vishnu as Vishvamoorti is the one whose form is literally the universe — every mountain, ocean, star, planet, and living being is part of His cosmic body. The universe is not separate from Vishnu — it IS His form. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Bhagavad Gita's 11th chapter (Vishvarupa Darshana) is the supreme expression of Vishvamoorti — Arjuna given divine eyes to see Vishnu's universal form. What he sees overwhelms him — the entire universe is Vishnu's body, all time is visible in Him simultaneously, and all beings are His cells. This *Vishvamoorti* vision is the revelation that shatters the illusion of the universe being separate from God. **Puranic Reference
The Vishnu Purana (2.12) describes the *Virat Purusha* — the cosmic Person whose body is the universe — as the primary manifest form of Vishnu. The sun is His eye, the sky His head, the earth His feet, the ocean His belly — this *Purusha Sukta* vision of Vishnu as Vishvamoorti is one of the oldest theological images in the Hindu tradition.
