According to Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu is considered to be the Lord of the world.\u00a0The story talks about 2 faces of the Lord.\u00a0In one hand the god is depicted as calm, pleasant and gentle.\u00a0But in the other face the Lord is very serious where he is shown in the posture of Kaalsarp Sheshnag, the king of snakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Vishnu means the giver and bestower of everything.\u00a0He is the patron and preacher of Hinduism.\u00a0He lives in the milky waters of Vaikuntha on a bed made from the coils of a thousand hooded large snakes.\u00a0Goddess Lakshmi is present along with his consort Wool.\u00a0The ocean stands for consciousness and bliss.\u00a0The snake for time, variety, desire and illusion and Goddess Lakshmi is present for the material things and forces of creation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Color of Lord Vishnu:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The color of Lord Vishnu is dark blue which is the color of the sky.\u00a0<\/span>Their color reflects their relation to the cosmic dimensions and Vedic deities such as rain, thunder and earth.\u00a0<\/span>The Lord is depicted with one face, four arms and usually standing or in a relaxed posture.\u00a0<\/span>The Lord wears a necklace which is made of the famous Kaustubh gem.\u00a0<\/span>It rests on his left chest and another garland of flowers and gems named Vaijayanti.<\/span><\/p>\n

Name of Lord Vishnu Narayan:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The first and greatest devotee of Lord Vishnu is “Narad” who utters only one name – Narayana.\u00a0<\/span>Since that time the Lord is called Narayan like Satyanarayan, Dhruvanarayana, Anantnarayan, Laxminarayan and Seshanarayan.\u00a0<\/span>Many people know about Lord Vishnu, but they do not know the secret behind it.\u00a0<\/span>According to the legend, water was born from the feet of Lord Vishnu.\u00a0<\/span>River Ganges – Vishnupadodaki originates from the feet of the Lord.\u00a0<\/span>And water is also known as Neer or Nar and even God lives in water, so the name “Nara” is derived from the name Narayan which means God who lives under water.<\/span><\/p>\n
