SRI
LAKSHMI -NARAYANAR SPECIAL POOJAS Maha Vishnu is the lord of preservation and is known as the All-Provider. He performs the cosmic function of cohesion. The constructive nature of his cosmic function stands out in contrast against the destructive dispersive power of Shiva. Maha Vishnu's function is to ensure the sustenance of the universe that Brahma has created. He represents the cosmic cause of existence and the symbolization of eternal life which keeps the universe as one. |
The
name Vishnu owes its root to the word "Vish", which indicates
"spreading in or pervading all directions". It is indicated that he is
the core in all that exists, as well as the force which keeps everything tied.
He is said to pervade everything just as an infinite ocean. It is this ocean
from which the universe is said to have emerged. Since water is also known by
the word "
Vishnu's
wife is Lakshmi or Sri, the goddess of wealth and fortune. She is believed to
have emerged from the churning of the great ocean (Samudra Manthan) by the gods
and the demons in the quest for the immortality nectar. Lakshmi, when placed
alongside Vishnu (or Narayana) came to be the foundation of Hindu religious
devotion as Lakshmi-Narayana - the deity pair which not only preserves all of
creation (Vishnu's cosmic function) but also ensured its growth and prosperity (Lakshmi's
cosmic function).
