Meaning and elaboration
Meaning: Salutations To The one who is the very soul and essence of all living beings.
Elaboration
The term Bhūtātmā is a powerful philosophical name that combines Bhūta (beings/elements) and Ātman (Soul or Self).
The Universal Soul Bhūtātmā is defined as "the essence of all beings" and "the one soul or essence that exists in all beings." This is a direct reference to the Upanishadic concept that the ultimate reality (Brahman) is the innermost essence of everything. He is the single, animating life force present in every single creature and elemental particle—the underlying Ātman that connects every individual life to the universal spirit.
The Self of the Elements The phrase also translates as "the self consisting of the elements" (the physical body). In the highest sense, he is the "proper soul" or the "Supreme Being" that is completely free from material identification.
Inner Reality Saluting Bhūtātmā is an acknowledgement that the Divine is not merely an external lord sitting in a distant heaven, but the intrinsic, fundamental spiritual reality residing within the core of one's own being and within every aspect of the cosmos.
