Purushottama (Sanskrit: पुरुषोत्तम) (Purush + Uttam = Purushottam) means "Supreme Purusha", "Supreme Being". Purushottama is also one of the names of the Vishnu. According to the Bhagavad Geeta, Purushottam is explained as above and beyond kshar and akshar purushas or as an omni-potent cosmic being. The Purushottama was explained by the Integral philosopher Haridas Chaudhuri (1913-1975) as representing that ineffable phenomenon which lies even beyond the undifferentiated Godhead.
