Supreme God, Brahman. However, according to Hindu mythology,
Vishnu is reincarnated on earth from time to time, to destroy
the evil in the world.The four arms indicate Lord's omnipresence
and omnipotence. The right side of the body represents the creative
activities of the mind and the intellect. The left side symbolizes
the activities of the heart; that is, love, kindness, and compassion.
The following ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu are described
in Hindu mythology and are popular among Hindus. These incarnations
reveal the help rendered by God during various stages of human
evolution.
Matsya (fish)---saves Sage Manu from floods and recovers
the Vedas from demons.
Kurma (tortoise)---sustains the earth on his back.
Varaha (boar)---brings the earth back from the bottom
of the ocean where it was dragged down by a demon, known as
Hiranyaksha; Varaha kills the demon.
Narasimha (man-lion)---kills the demon King Hiranyakashipu,
who was planning to kill his own son, a devotee of Lord Vishnu.
Vamana (dwarf)---the first human incarnation of the Lord,
kills the demon King Mahabhali, who had deprived the gods of
their possessions.
Parasurama (the warrior with an axe)---saves Brahmins
from the tyranny of the arrogant Kshatriyas.
Rama---kills Ravana, the demon king of Lanka.
Sri Krishna---the most popular incarnation; Krishna's
contributions throughout his life include the teachings of the
Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna.
Buddha---Hindus consider Buddha as an incarnation of
Lord Vishnu and accept his teachings, but do not directly worship
him.
Kalkin (a man on a white horse)---this incarnation is
yet to come and will mark the end of all evil in the world.
Lord Vishnu is also called Nilameghashyamalan - possessing a
complexion the colour of the dark clouds. As proof that opposites
attract, Vishnu's outer appearnce is dark while he is associated
with the santha gunam, bringing light & peace to the world.
He rests on the ocean on his bed of Adisesha (serpent with 1,000
heads ). Any time Lord Vishnu sees great trouble, He takes an
avataram to rescue the people from evils. He is all merciful,
ever rushing to serve his devotees. In the form of Mahavishnu
he has four arms wielding the chakra, conch, lotus & the gadha
in his four arms.
