Vishnu - Lord of Preservation

Vishnu is the Lord of protection, sustenance & maintenance. His consort Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth, which is a necessity for maintenance. Goddess Lakshmi represents not only material wealth, but the wealth of courage, valour, offspring, success, luxurious life, eternal bliss. Vishnu and Lakshmi thus help the souls introduced into the life cycle by Brahma to survive in the cycle of life.
 
Any time Lord Vishnu sees the rise of dark forces, He takes an incarnation on earth to rescue the people from dark forces. He is all merciful, ever rushing to serve his devotees. In the form of Mahavishnu he wears the chakra, conch, lotus & the gadha or mace in his arms. There have been 10 incarnations of Vishnu, including Lord Rama in Treta Yug and Lord Krishna in Dawaper Yug.
