Details

Lord Vishnu is part of the Trimurti (trinity of Gods), Lord Vishnu is the maintainer or preserver. The Rigveda says: Vishnu can travel in three strides. The first stride is the Earth. The second stride is the visible sky. The third stride cannot be seen by men and is the heaven where the gods and the righteous dead live.

Every moment of life is related to the duties and responsibilities. The most important of all of them include duties towards family, social and economic responsibility. However, to fulfill these duties one has to take a lot of efforts and go through many problems, which are very scary like Kalrupi Sheshnag and create anxiety. The quiet face of Lord Vishnu on the other hand inspires us to keep calm and be patient in these tough times. With a quiet attitude towards problems one can achieve success.

This elegant Vishnu idol depicting Vishnu in standing pose with four hands would add grace to your altar and invoke His divine presence.

Dimensions: 3.75 inches (H) x 1.5 inches (L) x 1 inch (W) approx
Design: Made in heavy shining punchdhatu.
Punchdhatu is a mixture of 5 metals of silver, gold, copper, brass and bronze. This is very important in synchronizing balance between nature and human life as nature also consists of 5 elements which includes Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Sky.

Importance of Idol worship: Idols are not the idle fancies of sculptors, but shining channels through which the heart of the devotee is attracted to and flows towards God. Though the image is worshipped, the devotee feels the presence of the Lord in it and pours out his devotion unto it. Regular worship, Puja and other modes of demonstrating our inner feeling of recognition of Divinity in the idol unveils the Divinity latent in it. This is truly a wonder and a miracle. The picture comes to life. The idol speaks. It will answer your questions and solve your problems. The God in you has the power to awaken the latent Divinity in the idol. The lives of Mirabai, Sant Tukaram, Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Shri Yogananda are a few instances to prove the point. They proved beyond doubt that idol worship has its own brighter side and through simple faith and intense devotion one can realize God through it.

Idols are the "finite representation of the Infinite".  As per Vishnu Samhita (ch 29, v 55-7), persuasively endorses the use of imagery (idols) and puts it:
"Without a form how can God be mediated upon? If (He is) without any form, where will the mind fix itself? When there is nothing for the mind to attach itself to, it will slip away from meditation or will glide into a state of slumber. Therefore the wise will meditate on some form, remembering, however, that the form is a superimposition and not a reality."
