 GOD VISHNU


Mahavishnu is one of three Supreme Gods in Hinduism.Vishnu is also known as Narayana and Hari. He is venerated as the Supreme Being in Vaishnavism and as Purushottama or Supreme Purusha in ancient sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is described as the all-pervading essence of all beings, the master of—and beyond—the past, present and future, preserver of all existences, one who supports,preserves, sustains and governs the universe and originates and develops all elements within.


In Hindu sacred texts, Vishnu is described as having the divine blue color of water-filled clouds and as having four arms. He is depicted as holding apadma (lotus flower) in the lower left hand, a unique type of mace used in warfare known as a Kaumodki gada in the lower right hand, a Panchajanyashankha (conch) in the upper left hand and a discus weapon Sudarshana Chakra in the upper right hand. Vishnu is also described in the Bhagavad Gita as having a 'Universal Form' which is beyond the ordinary limits of human perception or imagination.

                 "During the period of MahaPralaya (Final annihilation) nothing exist, except Mahadev. Mahadev is the humanoid form Brahman(Supreme soul) and Shakthi is the female form of Brahman. This Ambika (Shakthi) is understood to be the cause of the whole world as well as the Nature. Lord Mahadev then created a Shivaloka, It is the abode of Mahadev and Parvati.  

Lord Mahadev, felt the need of somebody, who could look after the creation in his absence, as he wanted to retire along with Ambika . The unified energy of Mahadev and Ambika, resulted into a radiant physical form of a child. The child asked Mahadev about his name and purpose of his being. 

Lord Mahadev named the child as Vishnu.

The cult of YHWH as god of metallurgy originated among semi-nomadic copper smelters between the Bronze and Iron Age, suggests biblical scholar: And he was not worshipped only by Jews.  A Short History of God Yahweh  TIMNA – Around 3,200 years ago, the great empires around the Mediterranean and the Middle East suddenly imploded. The Egyptians retreated from Canaan and the copper mines of Timna in the Negev, skulking back to the banks of the Nile. And in the arid wastes of southern Canaan, a new power arose.  The Timna mines were taken over by semi-nomadic tribes, which  set up a mining operation that dwarfed  the previous Egyptian industry.  This new desert kingdom would leave its mark on the main building at Timna: the  Egyptian temple of Hathor , protector of miners. The new masters smashed the effigy of the Egyptian deity – leaving the fragments to be found by archaeologists more than 3,000 years later – and set up over the ru...

The solitude in that forest area called Kuli van, and the wild beauty of the forest girl, made the Lord lustful. He informed Kulivaka of his wish and told her to wait for him until he returned from his hunt.

She prayed to her Goddess to save her from the predicament. Parvati, pleased with her innocence appeared before her and revealed her true identity. In her previous birth Kulovaka was Manaswini, a servant in the retinue of Parvati. One day she happened to breast-feed Ganesha who was a baby at that time. Parvati didn't appreciate the fact of a servant breast-feedi...

(Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2) They are: 8-Vasu, 11-Rudra, and 12-Aaditya, 1-Indra and 1-Prajaapati. VASUS  8. Vasus are ~ Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Moon, Sun, and Star.Elemental gods such as Vayu, Agni, Antariksh and Dyaus, the Sky God. ( Olympian Gods).
