Definition
In Hindu mythology and philosophy, Ananta (meaning 'endless' or 'infinite') is the cosmic serpent upon which Lord Vishnu sleeps during the cosmic rest between creation cycles.
Etymology
From Sanskrit ananta, meaning 'without end,' 'infinite,' or 'eternal'; ana- (without) + anta (end); refers to the serpent Shesha in Hindu cosmology.
Kelly Says
Ananta is the ultimate infinity symbol in Hinduism—literally an endless snake holding up the universe, representing how all existence coils back on itself eternally!
