The word Vyanga means a blemish, an imperfection or shortcoming.The Supreme Lord is Avyangah because He has no defects or blemishes. On the contrary, He is sheer perfection and flawless. As Adi Sankara puts it ‘Jnaadibhih paripoornah avikalah iti uchyate – He is the Perfect one in terms of knowledge and other accomplishments hence he is called the Avyangah the unblemished’. He is not deficient, in any way, in the knowledge of the chandas, kalpa, vyakarnas and other accessories of the Vedas which He created Himself. He is not deficient in any of the six Gunas – Gnana, Bala, Aishvarya, Veerya, Sakti and Tejas.
‘Vyango vyaktir na vidyate iti Avyangah – He is the unmanifested One’ says Adi Sankaracharya.
The Supreme Lord is the only without any imperfections, He is the all perfect with all Knowledge. He is the only with all six opulences in full. The living entity has only a part of these opulences, in most cases only one of the opulence or in some cases a portion of the six opulence but nothing is perfect as that of the Lord.
Lets chant the Holy Name of the one who is without imperfection and seek to serve Him with all our imperfections to become perfect in out Devotional service towards Him.
