This is my idol his name is l9ord vishnu In Hindu sacred texts, Vishnu is usually described as having dark complexion of water-filled clouds and as having four arms. He is depicted as a blue being, holding a padma (lotus flower) in the lower left hand, the Kaumodaki gada (mace) in the lower right hand, the Panchajanya shankha (conch) in the upper left hand and the discus weapon Sudarshana Chakra in the upper right hand.

Adherents of Hinduism believe Vishnu's eternal and supreme abode beyond the material universe is called Vaikuntha, which is also known as Paramdhama, the realm of eternal bliss and happiness and the final or highest place for liberated souls who have attained Moksha. Vaikuntha is situated beyond the material universe and hence, cannot be perceived or measured by material science or logic.[3][4] Vishnu's other abode within the material universe is Ksheera Sagara (the ocean of milk), where he reclines and rests on Ananta Shesha, (the king of the serpent deities, commonly shown with a thousand heads). In almost all Hindu denominations, Vishnu is either worshipped directly or in the form of his ten avatars, the most famous of whom are Rama and Krishna.[5] The Puranabharati, an ancient text, describes these as the dashavatara, or the ten avatars of Vishnu. Among the ten described, nine have occurred in the past and one will take place in the future as Lord Kalki, at the end of Kali Yuga, (the fourth and final stage in the cycle of yugas that the world goes through). These incarnations take place in all Yugas in cosmic scales; the avatars and their stories show that gods are indeed unimaginable, unthinkable and inconceivable. The Bhagavad Gita mentions their purpose as being to rejuvenate Dharma,[6] to vanquish those negative forces of evil that threaten dharma, and also to display His divine nature in front of all souls.

    In “The Many Colors of Hinduism”, Carl Olson first introduced the practitioners of ancient vedic religion. From the division of two antithetical groups (Adityas and Danavas). Both groups aimed for creation, they represent death and life, being and nonbeing, therefore, they all symbolize the immortal life. Due to the division, the myth of Indra and Vrtra is told. Indra is the king of gods who killed Vrtra (a dragon who kept water of the world) by thunderbolt. Olson also introduces the term “Rta”, which is the primary intelligent order guiding the universe. “Rta is the law, unity, or rightness that underlies the orderliness of the cosmos” (40). Subsequently, Olson explains the divine hierarchy, including the triple world (loka).…

    According to Hinduism, three Gods rule the world. They are Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and, Shiva the destroyer. The three Lords that rule the world have wives and they are goddesses too. The wife of Brahma is Sarasvati, goddess of learning. Vishnu 's wife is Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity. Shiva 's wife is Parvati who is worshipped as Kali or Durga. Besides these, there are a number of other Gods and Goddesses. To name a few of them, there is Ganesh, who has an elephant 's head and he is the son of Shiva and Parvati. Hanuman who is an ape, and Surya the Lord of the sun. Some gods have more than one name. Shiva is also known as Shankar, Mahadev, Natraj, and many other names. God Vishnu incarnated many times to do his job and in his every appearance, he had a different form, which are also worshipped as Gods. Among his appearances, he appeared as Rama, Krishna, and Buddha. Not all of these Gods are worshiped by all Hindus. Some Hindus worship only Vishnu. Others worship only Shiva. Others worship only the Goddesses and call these Goddesses collectively as “Shakti” meaning strength. Though these Hindus worship different idols, many Hindus believe in one God and perceive these different Gods and Goddesses as different images of the same one God. According to their beliefs, idolatry is the wrong interpretation of Hinduism. (Noss, D., & Grangaard, B.…

These gods organized the teachings of Hindu traditions without the need for so much knowledge compacted into one book.

    Vaisravana is sometimes translated as the "Son of Fame". The Sutta Nitapa commentary says that Vaisravana is derived from a name of Kubera's kingdom, Visana. Once, Kubera looked at Shiva and his wife Parvati with jealousy, so he lost one of his eyes. Parvati also turned this deformed eye yellow. So, Kubera gained the name Ekaksipingala ("one who has one yellow eye"). He is also called Bhutesha ("Lord of spirits") like Shiva. Kubera usually is drawn by spirits or men (nara), so is called Nara-vahana, one whose vahana (mount) is nara. Hopkins interprets naras as being water-spirits, although Mani translates nara as men. Kubera also rides the elephant called Sarvabhauma as a loka-pala. His garden is named Chaitrarath.…
