Yoginichakraguhyesha (योगिनीचक्रगुह्येश, IAST: Yoginīcakraguhyeśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Secret lord of the circle of yoginis”. From yoginī (female yogic adepts or divine powers), cakra (circle, wheel, assembly), guhya (secret, esoteric), and īśa (lord), this name reveals Vishnu as the hidden sovereign of tantric yogini assemblies.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In tantric cosmology the yoginīcakra is an assembly or maṇḍala of divine female energies that govern the subtle body and cosmic forces. Guhya marks this lordship as esoteric — not openly declared but known to initiates. Vishnu's sovereignty here is not martial but mystical, pointing to a Vaishnava-tantric synthesis where the Lord pervades even the innermost secret circles of cosmic energy. The name reflects the depth of Vaishnava esotericism within the broader Sahasranama tradition.

This epithet is found in tantric-inflected recensions of Vaishnava namavalis; it is highly specialised and rare as a given name. Pronunciation: guhyeśa carries stress on the long ī of yoginī and the śa of īśa.
