What is the Sudarshana Chakra?
The Sudarshana Chakra is not just a weapon—it is a divine embodiment of cosmic energy, wisdom, and protection. Wielded by Lord Vishnu and later seen with Lord Narasimha, it symbolizes righteous power that maintains the order of the universe.
Etymology:
Su = Auspicious / Good
Darshana = Vision / Sight
“Sudarshana” translates to "auspicious vision"—a force that helps destroy ignorance and negativity.
Mythological Origin of the Sudarshana Chakra
According to Puranic legends, the Sudarshana Chakra was created by the celestial architect Vishwakarma, using the spiritual radiance and essence of Surya (Sun God). It was gifted to Lord Vishnu to help him maintain balance in the universe and eliminate adharma.
One of the earliest references to Sudarshana Chakra can be found in:
- Rigveda (as a symbol of divine authority)
- Vishnu Purana
- Skanda Purana
- Mahabharata (used by Lord Krishna)
Notable Uses of the Chakra
- Samudra Manthan: Used to behead the demon Swarbhanu, who became Rahu and Ketu.
- Mahabharata: Used to shield Arjuna and defeat enemies of Dharma.
- Protecting Prahlada: Lord Narasimha invokes Sudarshana to destroy demonic forces.
When is Sudarshana Jayanti Celebrated?
Sudarshana Jayanti is celebrated on the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi (11th day of the waxing moon) during the Ashadha month (June–July), often coinciding with Devshayani Ekadashi, the day Lord Vishnu enters Yoga Nidra (cosmic sleep).
This alignment adds great spiritual importance to the occasion, combining both the protective and preservative aspects of Vishnu’s energy.
