About Aniruddha

As Lord is unobstructable, omnipotent, endowed with all gunas, as He cannot be known by the mind but can be held in the minds of the enlightened through meditation, and as He destroys those who behave contrary to the Vedas, He is called 'Aniruddha'.

He holds the Club and Conch in His upper left and right hands, and the Lotus and Disc in His lower left and right hands.

He is the governing power of the letter 'Hi' of the Gayathri Mantra, 'Sparsa Tattva' — one of the 24 Tattvas — and the Urdhvapundra marked on the centre of the throat during the dark half of the lunar month, all edibles, the Sudra caste, the male body, the year, substances of black colour, the 'Kaliyuga' and the summer season.

He dwells in the male body, on the left side of all beings, within and beyond the universe, in 'Vayu' the god of Wind who is the door-keeper, and in the 'Aniruddhasarira'.
