#VishnuJi #MaintainerOfTheUniverse #Goddess #Bhagwan #Devlok #Spirituality #RiseAboveTheSky #Avatar #Devta  #Dev

In the basic Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, the Hindu god Vishnu is the preserver and protector of creation. Vishnu is the embodiment of mercy and goodness, the self-existent, all-pervading power that preserves the universe and maintains the cosmic order Dharma. Most often, Lord Vishnu is shown with four attributes or weapons. In one hand Vishnu holds the conch or Sankha. The second hand of Vishnu holds the disc or Vaijra. The third hand of Vishnu holds the 'Gada' and in the fourth hand Vishnu holds the lotus. At times, when the balance of good and evil on earth is destroyed and evil demons get the upper hand, Lord Vishnu then incarnates in a human form to set the balance right again.
