Guess the name of the perumal and Check the answer
61) Vibhave SrI VenkatEsaaya nama:nama:
 
The Lord is "Vibhu" and pervades everything everywhere. There is absolutely no place which doesn't have His presence. He is here, there, everywhere, as Sri Prahlada told his cynical father. "karandu engum parandulan" marvels Shri Nammazhwar at the Lord's total pervasiness.
 
The Narayana anuvaakam tells us that the Sriman Narayana the Lord is so pervasive as to be present inside and out of all beings and objects--"yaccha kinchit jagat sarvam drisyate shrooyate pi vaa, antar bahischa tat sarvam vyaapya Narayana: stittha:".
Whatever is heard, whatever is seen or felt in this wide universe is pervaded by Emperuman.
 
This is borne out by several other pramaanams too, from the Upanishads and Puraanas:
 
"Nityam, Vibhum, sarvagatam susookshmam"
"Nityaa eva eshaa Jaganmaataa Vishno: Shree: anapaayinee
 yathaa sarvagato Vishnu: tattaiveyam dvijottama!"--Sri Vishnu Puraanam.
 
This is to contrast the Lord, who is the Paramaatma, from the Jeevatma or the individual soul, who is infinetisimal in form--"Esho anu: Atmaa".
 
It is of interest to note that the Vishnu Purana confirms the same trait of Vibhutvam on Sri Lakshmi too--"yathaa Sarvagato Vishnu: tatthaa evam dvijottama!" (Just as Sri Vishnu pervades everything, so does His Consort)
"tvayaa cha etat Vishnunaa cha Amba! jagat vyaaptam charaacharam" ("Oh Divine Mother! This entire Universe is pervaded by Yourself and Shri Mahavishnu".
