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 these religions of immanence it is important to realize that the sacred is everywhere, including within, and meant to be a way of seeing reality more clearly rather than attempting to reach something that is above and beyond. The sacred reality found in Hinduism is the Brahman. Brahman is described as universal consciousness; it is truth, knowledge, and infinity. In Hinduism everything has its own spark of Brahman, Atman, which is never actually separate from the Brahman. Ultimately all Hindus intend to achieve moksha, or liberation, the realization of the unity between Brahman and Atman. By realizing this unity the Atman becomes aware of maya, the illusion of separation, and the cycle of death and rebirth known as samsara is ended.…

    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).…

    A moral force in Hinduism are the gods that are prominent in visual art forms and poetries spread throughout India and around the world. These gods organized the teachings of Hindu traditions without the need for so much knowledge compacted into one book. One particular god that is highly significant and is revealed through iconography in religious art is Vishnu,the god of preservation. Vishnu preserves the universe and maintains the cosmic order of Dharma, protecting the moral order in all of existence.

We must also understand the idea made in Invitation to World Religion…

    I do not know if it was one split second or over a number of sleepless nights, that my little baby boy turned into a little man. Was it one precise activity or numerous ones that turned a baby into a little man? It took three signs to make me aware that my baby boy was a little man and those signs were; letting go of my hand to walk on his own, pushing away of my fingers to feed himself, and speaking the word “no” to the clothes I picked out in the morning for him?…

    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.…
