Vishnu puran

The Vishnu Purana Index The Vishnu Purana translated by Horace Hayman Wilson [1840] The Vishnu Purana is a primary sacred text of the Vaishnava branch of Hinduism, which today probably has more adherents than any other. It is one of the canonical Puranas, a branch of post-Vedic sacred literature which was first committed to writing during the first millennium of the common era. Like most of the other Puranas, this is a complete narrative from the creation of the current universe to its destruction. The chronology describes periods as long as a hundred trillion (10 14) years! It includes extensive sections on the genealogy of the legendary kings, heroes and demigods of ancient India, including those from the epics, the This is the first time that this work has appeared on the Internet in any form. H.H. Wilson was one of the first European scholars to produce a scholarly translation of a major Hindu sacred text. His translation employs clear English which modern readers will find very readable. There is very little of the pseudo-King James style, loved by 19th century orientalists (and loathed by modern scholars). The footnotes are extensive and very helpful, with comprehensive notes correlating the Vishnu Purana with other Puranas and Hindu texts. Unfortunately, good editions of this translation have largely been unavailable in print for many years. There are some re-typeset and heavily edited versions printed in India, of dubious quality, which I can't recommend. The copyt...

Discus weapon used by Vishnu The Sudarshana Chakra ( सुदर्शनचक्र, Sudarśanacakra) is a divine discus, attributed to In the ayudhapurusha, the deity is known as Chakraperumal or Chakratalvar. Etymology [ ] The word Sudarshana is derived from two Sanskrit words – Su (सु) meaning "good/auspicious" and kram) or ऋत् ( rt) or क्रि ( kri) and refers among many meanings, to the wheel of a Literature [ ] Rigveda [ ] Coins of Ancient India: From the Earliest Times Down to the Seventh Century (1891) The chakra is found in the coins of many tribes with the word gana and the name of the tribe inscribed on them. Vṛishṇi-rājaṅṅya-gaṇasya-trātasya which P.L.Gupta thought was possibly jointly issued by the gana (tribal confederation) after the Vrishnis formed a confederation with the Rajanya tribe. However, there is no conclusive proof so far. Discovered by Cunningham, and currently placed in the British Museum, the silver coin is witness to the political existence of the Vrishnis. A coin dated to 180 BCE, with an image of Vasudeva-Krishna, was found in the Greco-Bactrian city of Among the only two types of Chakra-vikrama coins known so far, there is one gold coin in which Vishnu is depicted as the Chakra-purusha. Though Chandragupta II issued coins with the epithet vikrama, due to the presence of the kalpavriksha on the reverse it has not been possible to ascribe it to him. Anthropomorphic form [ ] The anthropomorphic form of Sudarshana can be traced from discoid weapons of ancient India ...

1 Dharti intorduces herself to the viewers and starts narrating the story of the creation of universe. "Before the beginning there was an end" she says, and then reveals how the universe was created by the supreme God Lord Vishnu. He appeared on our planet as a child floating on a leaf in the ravaging deluge after the world had come to an end. He created the Hindu trinity of gods Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh. The three maintained the sacred and moral order of Dharma to ensure harmony in the free world. 4 Dharti continues to narrate the story. Manu and Shatrupas first son becomes the first king of our country. He has two wives from whom he has a son named Uttam. When Dhruv is neglected by his father he looks to his mother for help. In turn she tells him to pray to Lord Vishnu and ask the supreme god to grant him all his wishes. 4 Unsatisfied with praying to the image of Lord Vishnu, Dhruv leaves the palace in search of the supreme god himself. When Laxmi sees a child roaming about alone in the night she pleads with Vishnu to protect him. Laxmi later saves Dhruv from a gang of dacoits. Manu holds Uttanpad responsible for the disappearance of Dhruv. Narad is sent by Vishnu to guide Dhruv to the forest to pray for the supreme god to appear. Laxmi asks goddess Saraswati to protect Dhruv while he is in the forest. 4 Goddess Parvati agrees to the request of Laxmi to protect Dhruv in the forest.

Even though there are innumerable incarnations of the Lord Vishnu, some of the important ones are mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 chapter 3. Altogether, Vishnu has reincarnated 23 times, and every time, he’s taken a different form. It is predicted that he will appear one last time at the end of Kaliyuga, making the number 24. Born in Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.24 talks about Buddha avatar of Lord Vishnu. तत: कलौ सम्प्रवृत्ते सम्मोहाय सुरद्विषाम् । बुद्धो नाम्नाञ्जनसुत: कीकटेषु भविष्यति ॥ २४ ॥ tataḥ kalau sampravṛtte sammohāya sura-dviṣām buddho nāmnāñjana-sutaḥ kīkaṭeṣu bhaviṣyati Translation: Then, at the beginning of Kali-yuga, the Lord will appear as Lord Buddha, the son of Añjanā, in the province of Gayā, to delude those who are envious of the faithful theist. 24. Kalki Kalki is the only avatar of Vishnu that is yet to be born. He will end all evil by defeating the demon Kali and start a new Satyayuga or Kalkiyuga. Kali is all the negative emotions and elements personified into one. Kalki is depicted as a warrior riding a white horse and holding a shining sword. Despite the difference in form or time, all his incarnations had one common goal, i.e., to end all evil and re-establish Dharma, the path to salvation. It is for this reason that Lord Vishnu is known as the protector and preserver of the universe. Read Also • • • Share
