The mythology Pandora's Box (7) Review Vishnu triad of gods, Vishnu
takes the role of "preserving" with
Shiva the destroyer and Brahma the creator (Brahma
was received only non-worship). Vishnu
is immortal, fair and misedicordioso. Its role is to ensure that good triumphs over evil. Sleep over billions of years on
Vasuki (or
Shesha), the cosmic serpent that serves as a bunk bed with their heads as canopy while
Lakmi goddess Sarasvati and prepare his bed on the big waves and cosmic massage him. His appearance is of a young man of rare beauty, agile bluish-gray skin, yellow robes and four arms. To protect the world from destruction gives rise to parts of itself in various forms (some of them were a fish, a turtle, a boar, a lion-man ...) Of all these the best known are those of the heroes
Rama Krishna and , or spiritual leader
Buddha. However, when
Vishnu reincarnated is not always remembered his divine nature.
At the beginning of creation, when gods felt that their powers are weakened, Vishnu
helped them to go batieran the Ocean of Milk
like butter, using the mountain as
Send stick and Vasuki , king snakes, like rope. In this act would require the help of all the gods, and also from the evil giant Danavas
. Earthquakes and fires created during agitation, but eventually got many gifts: Surabhi
, the sacred cow that had the power to grant wishes;
Varuni , the goddess of wine;
Parijata , the tree of paradise which gives fragrance to world the beautiful nymphs
Apsarasas that Indra took care to dance in his palace, the Moon
, a powerful poison that
Shiva drank to prevent the giants who would use it (what was left was claimed by
Nagas, the serpent-gods), the goddess
Lakmi on a lotus flower and
Dhanvantri, the divine physician, with a drink in the nectar of life. While Vishnu
distracted giants taking the form of an exuberant woman, the gods drank ambrosia and regained their power.
Vishnu and Lakmi on Shesha
"Avatar" includes themes from Hindu mythology
Lakmi also known as Shri , or Chanchal
(the variable, because its fickleness) . She is the goddess of good luck, love and wealth. Goddess is closer to human. It was like a perfect woman, whose only fault was their vulnerability to praise and worship. Used mainly to promote evil and greedy, instead of the good and truly needy.
At the beginning of creation gods noted that their powers dwindled because of the curse that a sorcerer had thrown
Indra, so
Vishnu advised them to remove the celestial ocean of milk. From it emerged a lotus flower, and she the goddess
Lakmi of indescribable beauty. It was a golden-skinned young man with a pearly luster, large and bright eyes were shaped like a lotus flower, and her long black hair falling to her knees. The celestial elephants bathed in the clear water that absorbed with their trunks, after which she dressed in clothes and ornaments of great beauty. After the ocean gives her a garland of fragrant blossoms never faded, approached Vishnu
to hug him, causing all the gods and demons sigh of envy and desire.
Lakmi remained faithful to her husband Vishnu
in all its incarnations, as a token of eternal love. If he was reincarnated from human, she appeared in human form as his wife. If you were a god, it took the form of a goddess. For example, when
Vishnu took the form of Krishna
, she was his companion
Rukmini.
Bali Bali was the head of the
Danavas , a powerful giant continually harassed the gods. His power was so great that they came to conquer all domains, cornered in the palace of Indra
. They asked for help
Vishnu, who agreed to protect them.
Vishnu descended to Earth
taking the form of a dwarf called Vamana
requested hearing before the Bali
. This giant asked him cede all the land that could cover with three steps of their tiny legs. The giant agreed to the request laughing ... until he saw with the first stride
Vamana covered the whole of the Earth
, with the second, the Sky
, and the third on
Paradise. After realizing the ruse, Bali
accepted banishment to the lower realms of Hell
, while Vishnu
again lying on his snake Vasuki
, floating in the calm waters of the cosmic ocean.
Hanuman is the son of Vayu
, god of wind and Sugriva
server king of the monkeys. Had with an army of monkeys and bears with which Rama
helped to get his wife Sita
. Physically he was a monkey so tall and strong as a tower, his face red as a ruby \u200b\u200band the body shining like molten gold. Had the ability to fly and jump to the height of the clouds. It is also wise and considered an expert magician.
The seventh incarnation of Vishnu , Rama
, asked for help to rescue his wife Sita
the hands of the evil demon Ravana
, who had kidnapped her to seduce her. Although he failed, he could find the castle which was locked, to communicate the whereabouts
and accompany Rama to the final battle. So strong was his devotion to Rama
who jumped the ocean to find Sita.
It is understood that Hanuman was the inspiration for the
Monkey King (Sun Wukong) in the play "Journey to the West "Chinese literature.
It would be based Tezuka to draw " The legend of Son Goku ", and this
Manga take inspiration to create Toriyama Dragon Ball .
Krishna Eighth
avatar of Vishnu . While other avatars were partial representations of this god, Krishna
was Vishnu himself
human looking. Decided to take the shape of the eighth son of Vasudeva
nobles and his wife Devika
for more defeat the evil king Kamsa
. Its name means "black", is known as the "dark lord" or "dark skinned" and is represented in blue, like all the avatars of Vishnu
with yellow robes and a crown with peacock feathers.
Since it was just a baby king Kamsa
used different methods and magical creatures to destroy, but Krishna
was always the winner. As a boy he became famous for his antics to steal butter, a food that he loved. When he reached adolescence he was known for his ability to play the flute and to seduce the herders of cows. "Whoever flute for Krishna
lips caress me all day!", Used to say them to him. When the time came, killed Kamsa
and returned the throne to the rightful king (we are cynical: he gave it to anyone). After that he married Rukmini
and participated in the battle between
Pandavas and Kauravas
as driver of his friend, Prince Arjuna
. The death came as a clueless hunter wounded him heel, his only vulnerable spot.
