Vishnu


Vishnu: Vishnu is another one of the three main gods. Vishnu is the preserver of the universe. Vishnu is reborn when there is a crisis on earth. He is reborn as an avatar to fight evil on earth. Vishnu is described as having four arms one arm holds the conch shell, one arm holds the discus, one arm holds the lotus and one arm hold the mace. There are over a thousand names for vishnu including Hari, Rama, and Sriman. Vishnu is worshiped either directly or through avatars.

I find this religion quite interesting because of the many different gods that are worshiped.

I really like the idea of Polytheism and believing in more than one God, because each of the Gods are given a certain 'talent' rather then having all the talents in one single God. Its a really neat idea.
