SVS 243 [Viswatma - 227] (24.8)

227. OM VISWATMANE NAMA: विस्वात्माने नम:
Pervades entire Universe, by His Power of Gyana.





Main deity Sri Aprameya, graces with Sri Aravindanayaki Thayar. Corridors are decorated by beautiful sculptures and paintings. Swami Vidyaneswara, who wrote beautiful commentary on Yagyavalkya smruti, worshiped here before writing his commentary. Sri Krishna beckons us to visit this temple. By Viswatma it is meant that He pervades all over the Universe, with nothing not pervaded by Him! This is what Prahalada says to Hiranyakasipu. Swami Nampillai says that those not accepting His all pervading nature, would suffer like Hiranyakasipu! Viswatma also means He is the Antaratma of this Universe. By crawling all over Nandgaon [aayarpaadi ஆயர்பாடி], He proclaimed all were His property!
