Lord Vishnu is one of Hinduism's predominant deities, and together with Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, in Sanatan Dharm is reckoned as a part of Hinduism's holy trinity (Trimurti). Brahma is said to have been created by a lotus flower that sprang from Vishnu's navel, demonstrating Vishnu's superior rank. Lord Vishnu has long been regarded as the realm's guardian.
According to legends, whenever the world needs to be liberated of evil, Lord Vishnu is born in a certain incarnation to do so. The Statue of Lord Vishnu with four arms symbolises his all-powerful and all-pervasive nature. The two arms in front signify Vishnu's physical existence, while the two arms at the back reflect his presence in the spiritual realm.
Vishnu, the leader-king, is described in four symbols: a conch-shell trumpet or shankh, a discus swirling around his index finger or chakra, a mace or gada, and a lotus or Padma. Lord Garuda, the man-eagle, serves as their mount. Vishnu is married to Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth. He is inextricably linked with "right action," and he is a warrior of Hindu fundamental values.
The shankh, or conch shell trumpet, of Vishnu is blitzed to proclaim his presence on the battlefield. The conch-shell can be considered as a communication tool. The chakra of Vishnu, in lord Vishnu statues, which whirls around his index finger it represents time (what goes around comes around in this life or the next) and space as a life sign (the circular horizon of our worldview).
The mace, like a teacher's ruler, is used to discipline people who do not perform what they are obligated to do. The nectar and pollen-rich lotus, which attracts bees and butterflies, is for those who go above and beyond.
Vaishnavism can be stated as the faithful, eternal, and functional characterization of all individual souls towards Lord Vishnu. Every religion emphasizes the significance of living a moral life.

★ Should learn to be fearless.
★ Accept everything in life happens because of past Karma.
