> VISWATHOMUKHA - what does it indicate?

Literally Viswathomukha (Viswa+Mukha) means the one who has multi dimensional appearance facing all sides, whose face is turned everywhere.
Who can have such a ubiquitous gaze other than the all pervading Supreme God Vishnu?
He is omnipresent and dwells in the entire universe facing all directions.
It is the universal form/cosmic form of Lord Vishnu the Cosmic Purusha who is PURUSHOTTAMA.
It is multi dimensional manifestation that contains everything that is in the Universe.
We find a reference to this attribute (Viswathomukha) of Lord Vishnu in Bhagavad Gita - Viswa Roopa Darshana Yoga (sloka # 10-11) where Arjuna witnesses this gigantic form of the Supreme God VisVathoMukha.

  1. LORD VISHNU IS ALSO VISWASAAKSHI- what does it indicate?

    Who else can be the ViswaSaAkshi other than Lord Vishnu? the all pervading supreme God, who is ANIMISHAH the one who is ever awake, ever alert and ever vigilant; the one who keeps a continuous vigil on the universe and its beings;

    Viswa means the Universe and SaAkshi means the witness; ViswaSaAkshi means the Universal observer/onlooker;

    Lord Vishnu is the one who has infinite number of forms; Who dwells in the entire Universe and He is omnipresent.

  2. This attribute (ViswaSaAkshi) of Lord Vishnu we can comprehend from several sacred scripts like Purusha Sooktha, Naaraayana Sooktha ( Sahasraseersham Devam Viswaaksham Viswasambhuvam...); Bhagawadgita, Sri Vishnu Sahasranaama Stothram etc.

    sarvataḥ pāṇi-pādaḿ tat sarvato 'kṣi-śiro-mukham!
    sarvataḥ śrutimal loke sarvam āvṛtya tiṣṭhati !!
    (Bhagawadgita - Kshetra Kshethrajna Vibhaga Yoga - Sloka # 14)

    With hands and feet everywhere; with faces and eyes everywhere, with heads and ears everywhere the Supreme Soul (ParamaAtma) pervades the entire universe.
