Paragati (परगति, IAST: Paragati) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The Supreme Goal, the highest refuge”. Formed from 'para' (supreme, beyond) and 'gati' (movement, course, refuge, final destination), this name proclaims Vishnu as the ultimate destination of all souls — the highest 'going' that is in truth an arrival at eternal rest.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word 'gati' in Sanskrit carries the sense of movement toward a goal, the course of a life, and ultimately one's final shelter or state after death. Vishnu as Paragati is the supreme such shelter — the final refuge beyond which no further wandering is needed, the destination that ends all journeying of the soul through successive births.
This epithet is closely connected to the Bhagavad Gita's assurance that the Lord is the ultimate refuge (gatiḥ) of all seekers, and it is celebrated in Vaishnava commentary as an expression of his saving grace. The name is occasionally used, especially in South Indian Vaishnava communities; pronounced pa-ra-GA-ti, with a clean, gentle 'g'.
Scriptural source
Paragati appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
