There are multiple stories about the origin of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. The Shrimad Bhagvatam states that Shiva emerged from a burning tower when Lord Vishnu and Brahma had an argument. The Shiva Purana states that lord Vishnu originated when lord Shiva rubbed some nectar on his ankle.The Vishnu Purana says that lord Shiva originated from the eyebrows of the lord Vishnu, and that is why lord Shiva is mostly in the meditative state. Though it seems that there are multiple stories and hence, confusion about the origins of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, but, actually all the stories are true. There are broadly two reasons for this confusion:- One is that we do not account for the fact that the Hindu system of time is not linear but cylical in nature! Second being that every deity has a formless (nir-gun or without attributes and characteristics) and Physical form (Sagun with a form and attributes). As per Hindu belief there is only one supreme God-Parambramh, he has no form or attributes. His physical form is Sadashiv or Maheshwar. Shakti originated from it is Maa Durga/ Ambika/ Prakriti. It is from Sadashiv and Prakriti that Lord Bramha, Vishnu and Rudra are originated or born. All three Lords are ever present in their esoteric form, but, they get manifested in different physical worlds in different ways at different times. As per Shiv Puran after each cycle of creation and destruction the three Lords manifest in different ways. Sometimes it may start with Lord Vishnu, somet...

Brahman God or gods? Contrary to popular understanding, Hindus recognise one God, Brahman, the eternal origin who is the cause and foundation of all existence. The gods of the Hindu faith represent different expressions of Brahman. Different Hindu communities may have their own divinities whom they worship, but these are simply different ways of approaching the Ultimate. Hindus recognise three principal gods: • Brahma, who creates the universe • Vishnu, who preserves the universe • Shiva, who destroys the universe. Brahma Brahma is the Creator. However, Brahma is not worshipped in the same way as other gods because it is believed that his work - that of creation - has been done. Hindus worship other expressions of Brahman (not Brahma), which take a variety of forms. Hindus are often classified into three groups according to which form of Brahman they worship: • Those who worship Vishnu (the preserver) and Vishnu's important incarnations Rama, Krishna and Narasimha; • Those who worship Shiva (the destroyer) • Those who worship the Mother Goddess, Shakti, also called Parvati, Mahalakshmi, Durga or Kali. Vishnu, Shiva and other deities Vishnu Vishnu, the preserver, is believed to be linked to a very early sun god and is considered by his worshippers to be the greatest among the gods. He is also referred to as Narayana. Vishnu preserves and protects the universe and has appeared on the earth through his avatars (incarnations) to save humankind from natural disasters or from ty...

In Shri Shiv Mahapuran ( published from Gita Press Gorakhpur),there is knowledge about father of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv. Evidence: - Shri Shiv Mahapuran, in RudrasamhitaKhand, from page 100 to 110, there is the following account: - While giving answer to his son Narad ji’s question, Shri Brahma ji said that- OSon! The question that you have asked about the creator of the universe, listento its answer. In the beginning, there was only one “Sadbrahm” remaining. There wasdestruction at all places. That formless God made his appearance like Shiv. He iscalled “Sadashiv”. He took a woman out of his body. That woman came to beknown as Durga, Jagdambika, Prakriti Devi and Mother of Tridev (Brahma, Vishnuand Shiv). She has eight arms and is also called Shiva. • “ Birth of Shri Vishnu ji”: - Sadashiv and Shiva (Durga) by living as husbandand wife gave birth to a son. They named him Vishnu. • “ Birth of Shri Brahma ji”: - Shri Brahma ji told that just as Vishnu ji hastaken birth from the union (act of procreation) of Shiv and Shiva, similarly Shiv andShiva also gave birth to me.

However, in Devi Puran (Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Puran), Shankar ji has himself admitted that Ihave taken birth from Durga (Prakriti). In Shiv Puran...

Hinduism is one of the most ancient religions in the world, today practiced by nearly a billion people in the world. Originally called “Sanatana Dharma” by Hindus, Hinduism is characterized by beliefs in “samsara” (reincarnation), “karma” (all actions have consequences), “moksha” (freedom from the cycle of reincarnation), aspects including the “yogas” and “vedas” from literary works such as the Upanishads and the Vedas, and the concept of multiplicity, or the ideology that there are multiple gods that represent one divine being. There are some Hindus that don’t necessarily believe in the concept of multiplicity. Instead they simply pick one god to worship. However, many Hindus believe in the Trinity: Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer). Vishnu, in particular, was seen as a prominent figure in Hinduism for many generations because of his unique nature and reincarnations, and thus continues to be worshipped today. Vishnu symbolizes the preserver, the protector, and the sustainer of the world created by Brahma as well as the law of the Vedas. Compared to other deities, he was believed to have a very collected and benevolent nature with his “central character as guardian, protector and preserver of the world” (Dimmit and van Buitenen 64). Vishnu is portrayed with having blue skin and four arms, and as dressed with extensive jewelry, flower garlands, a wrapped skirt, and a large crown. In the four hands, Vishnu carries a conch shell, a “chakr...
