It’s when the universe needs preservation; Lord Vishnu himself comes! Yes, Lord Vishnu, सर्वव्यापक, सर्वत्र विद्यमान, the protector of the universe, returns to Earth in times of adversity. He re-establishes the equilibrium between the good and the bad and showers bliss everywhere around. It’s also said that he has also reincarnated multiple times on earth and is believed to appear one more final time before this world ends.
Proceeding further, here in this blog, we will get to know more about Lord Vishnu Ji:
Known by the names Narayana, Hari, Govinda, and Trimurti, गोविन्द, माधव, the names reflect the multifaceted nature of Lord Vishnu. Worshipping and praying to him provides a person with eternal grace and happiness that lasts beyond births.
Narayana means that he resides in every being, person, water, and primeval man. Nar means living beings and water, and ayana means resting place, refuge, and shelter. He is called Govinda because he is the protector of cows and senses. Trimurti, because he is the triple deity of supreme divinity, which includes Brahma and Shiva. Therefore, all the names carry different meanings and importance.
Why does humanity always seek protection, peace, and stability?
The very moment when a child is born, the first and foremost need becomes one’s safety and protection. Just like ancient humans or animals seek shelter from the wild animals, similarly, we also look for security in every aspect of our lives, be it finance, health, or emotional assurance. This is our soul’s core need. The fluctuations like gain or loss, joy, sorrow, love, and betrayal are the cycles of our life that keep on shifting and need balance every time. So, to uncover peace there, we connect to the divine, which is itself Lord Vishnu, the supreme, the higher deity.
Having blue skin and the cosmic and metaphysical nature, the blue hue showcases the infinite expanse of the sky, showing that Lord Vishnu presides everywhere. He resides in the milky waters of the Vaikunth on a bed made of the coils of the thousand-hooded great serpents. Goddess Lakshmi is his consort who attends upon him.
Vishnu Ji as The Preserver in the Hindu Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh)
He is called the Trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh (Shiva)
Brahma means the creator of the universe, who gives life, ideas, and beginnings. Shiva, Mahesh called the destroyer or the transformer of things or creation. The one who dissolves everything that is no longer needed. Vishnu is the preserver, who maintains harmony, order, and balance in the Universe.

- Padma—Lotus, represents unity and continuity amidst life struggles.
- Sudarshan Chakra—that destroys negativity and protects dharma.
- Gade—Called as mace, rod, is a symbol of strength and protection for devotees.
