Birth and Birthplace of Gods in India

Hinduism is often known for its large and complex pantheon of gods. Today I'll tell you about some birthplace of Gods in this article and I'll also tell you how they are connected and how they are perceived. The Hindu trinity, as it is often called, is made up of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. They are often considered to be the three most important Gods. In modern days Hinduism, Shiva, and Vishnu have far more followership. I guess you can say, or more people view Shiva or Vishnu as the supreme being. In India, there are also many temples dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu than there are to Brahma.

Lord Vishnu

Lord Vishnu is one of the trinity along with Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva and is the preserver of the universe. Vishnu means "One who is every and inside everything" is usually depicted as having a dark, or pale blue complexion and having four arms. He holds a Padma (Lotus flower) in his lower left hand, Kaumodaki Gada (mace) in his lower right hand, Panchajanya shankha (conch) in his upper left hand and the Sudarshana Chakra (discus) in his upper right hand. A traditional depiction is Vishnu reclining on the coils of the serpent Shesha, accompanied by his consort Lakshmi. Lord Vishnu is considered the supreme being who created the universe in Vaishnavism. In Vaishnavism, Vishnu is identical to the formless metaphysical concept called Brahma, the supreme, The Svayam Bhagav, Who takes various avatars as "The preserver, protector" whenever the world is threatened with evil, chaos and destruction force Rig Veda he is the one who separates heaven and earth and helps Indra in killing Vrta and he is one who along with Indra produces the Sun. Atharvaveda and Upanishadic texts, Vishnu is equivalent to Prajapati, both are described as the protector and prepare of the womb. Lord Vishnu is referred trivikrama in Rigveda who with his three steps covered the three worlds. With his first step covers the earth, with second the ether and the third entire heaven. This story is associated with his Vamana Ava. As per major Puranas and Vaishnavism Lord Vishnu is out of the circle of death and birth he is the one who can't die or can't be born. He was there when there were nothingness and darkness and he is the one who has created the universe. He is the one who preserves the lives in the universe. As per Puranas Lord Vishnu is Sayambhu as are Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma. They have created themselves and then they created the universe and living things. They are the one who incarnates on the earth to check the balance between Dharma and Adharma. (Religion and wrongdoing)

Lord Shiva

Everyone always eagerly wants to know who is Lord Shiva's father or how Lord Shiva born and where? According to a common belief among the people, Lord Shiva has no parents. According to myths he is beyond birth, death, and time. He is even considered as Lord of Lords. Lord Shiva is formless. He is considered as Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omnibenevaolent. Once a saint asked this question to Lord Shiva that who is your father Lord? Lord Shiva replied that Lord Brahma is his father. Then the saint went on to ask that who is your Grandfather Lord? Lord Shiva replied that Lord Vishnu is his Grandfather. The saint further asked Lord Shiva that if Lord Brahma is your father and Lord Vishnu is Your Grandfather then who is your Great grandfather Lord? Lord Shiva astonished him by saying that he himself is his Great Grandfather. Well, the story sounds much confusing and mystifying. However, as there is no origin point it serves as a circle. And as well all know that mathematically in a circle any point can be taken as a starting point.
