Just as the ocean is the basis of all its diverse waves, Vasudeva is the unified field immaterial and transcendental of Being Pure at the basis of all the diversity of the physical universe. On the Macrocosmic level, Vasudeva is the only and infinite Brahman – formless and without any attribute. In the light of Kriya Yoga, the fourth state of Turiya, or Vasudeva, is a synonym for Kevala Kumbhaka. Therefore, the supreme Vishnu mantra (mahamantra) – om namo bhagavate vasudevaya – is used for this purpose. The purpose of the Second and Third Kriya is to break the heart granthi in order to get the fourth state, Turiya, or Samadhi. For this reason it has been recommended that you practice Kriya (mentally) in bed before falling asleep, and always meditate in the Vedic aphorisms. However, this “I” or Self must be experienced in a continuous and conscious way during the succession of the three states (waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep). In the state of sushupti, the soul gets partial Turiya (unconsciously) meaning the sleeper is not aware of what is taking place. ![]() ![]() The fourfold form of consciousness is experienced as states – awake, sleep, and deep dreamless sleep (sushupti) The fourth state (caturtha) or Turiya, occurs when the consciousness – in a more subtle state of matter (Pradhana) – enters the Sushumna channel and merges into the Atman. ![]() These are the quadruple forms (vyuhas) of Consciousness, according to Pancaratra system.

It may be concluded that the mantra was first associated with the reverence of Vāsudeva as the supreme deity before he was syncretised with Vishnu, after which it became an invocation of both deities. Origin īhagavatism, one of the traditions that was assimilated with what would become Vaishnavism, revered the Vrishni heroes, primary among them being Vāsudeva (Krishna). Both refer to it as the supreme Vishnu mantra. In the Tantric tradition, the rishi of the mantra is Prajapati in the Puranic tradition, the rishi is Narada. It has two traditions- Tantric and Puranic. It is called the Dvadasakshari Mantra, or simply Dvadasakshari, meaning the "twelve-syllable" mantra, dedicated to Vishnu and Krishna both. '"I bow to the Ultimate Reality, Vāsudeva"' is one of the most popular Hindu mantras, and according to the Bhagavata tradition, the most important mantra in Vaishnavism.
