Vedaguhya (वेदगुह्य, IAST: Vedaguhya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The secret essence hidden within the Vedas”. From veda (sacred knowledge, the Vedic scriptures) and guhya (secret, hidden, esoteric), this name reveals Viṣṇu as the profound mystery that the Vedas veil in symbol and point to only obliquely.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Vedas are called apauruṣeya — of superhuman origin — and their deepest import, the Upaniṣads teach, is the knowledge of Brahman. Viṣṇu as Vedaguhya is that very Brahman, the secret treasure concealed within mantra and sūkta, accessible only to the qualified seeker guided by a genuine guru. This name resonates with the Kaṭha and Muṇḍaka Upaniṣads, which speak of the ātman as the hidden one, known only through grace.
Vedaguhya is a profoundly philosophical epithet, cherished in Vedāntic and Vaiṣṇava circles for its depth of meaning; it is occasionally given as a name in scholarly brāhmaṇa families devoted to the Sahasranāma. Pronounced ve-da-gu-hya, with the aspirated hya softly breathed.
Scriptural source
Vedaguhya appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
