FAQs
By calling the Lord “vyoma-tattva” (space-principle) and the source of both higher and lower realities, the verse presents the Supreme as all-pervading, foundational, and transcendent—yet also the ground from which all levels of existence arise.
The verse does not list techniques, but it centers the goal: devotion and contemplation of the “Mahāyogeśvara,” the supreme master of yoga—implying inward absorption (dhyāna/samādhi) oriented to the all-pervading Lord who is the origin of all tattvas.
Using the epithet “Mahāyogeśvara” (often Shaiva) while praising the supreme Veda-known source of all (often Vaishnava), it reflects the Kurma Purana’s integrative stance: the one Ishvara is praised through shared theological titles rather than sectarian separation.
