In Hinduism Lord Vishnu represents the preserver aspect of Brahman. He is spoken of as the luckiest of the gods in early scriptures. His worshippers consider him the greatest among the gods. He is referred to as Narayana, the ever-present and all pervading. Vishnu is associated with primeval waters and is often depicted reposing on a lotus or upon the coils of the serpent Shesha. Vishnu, along with Brahma, the creator, and Shiva, the destroyer and regernerator, form the trimurti, the image of the three great gods of Hinduism.
God Vishnu is being referred to as “the unconquerable preserver”. By the time of the epics, Lord Vishnu is not only the great preserver of every part of the universe including the sun but the Puranas even call him the creator, thus usurping the role of Brahma.
