aum karanaaya namah (ओं करनाय नमः) (ఓం కరణాయ నమః)
He is called Karanam as He became the main means and source for the beings in their progressions towards Him. The word 'karanam' means 'sense' or 'indriya.' This word 'sense' is said to be both as a gnanendriya that acts as a tool to obtain knowledge and also as a karmendriya that helps in getting the work done. Thus the senses like the eyes and ears that facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and hands and eyes that are enablers of movement, work etc are called 'karanaas' as they are able to perform with the power blessed by the god. In fact, the paramaatma who gives them such a power becomes the 'karanam.'
