Sarvadevamayi (सर्वदेवमय, IAST: Sarvadevamaya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “One who contains all the gods within himself”. From sarva (all), deva (god, luminous being), and maya (pervaded by, consisting of), this name declares Vishnu as the single divine reality in whom every deity resides.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The suffix -maya in Sanskrit indicates that something is fully made of or completely pervaded by the root substance, so Sarvadevamaya means not merely that Vishnu is like all gods, but that every god is an expression of his own infinite being. This encapsulates the Vaishnava theology of Vishnu as the antaryāmin, the inner controller who dwells within each celestial being as their very essence. The name thus resolves apparent polytheism into a serene non-dual vision.
Sarvadevamaya is used as a devotional epithet of Vishnu and occasionally of Śiva in pan-sectarian stotras. The name is more suited to meditative contemplation than to everyday use as a given name, though Sarvadevan is a shorter usable form.
Scriptural source
Sarvadevamayi appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
