Vishnu is regarded as a major god in Hinduism. He is thought as the preserver of the universe, while two other major Hindu gods, Brahma and Shiva, are considered the creator, and destroyer of the universe, respectively. As the preserver of the cosmos, Vishnu upholds the universal laws. Unlike Shiva, who often seeks refuge in the forest to meditate, Vishnu constantly participates in worldly affairs. Ensuring that all is well. Vishnu and his Earth-regenerating serpent Ananta protect the planet itself. They symbolize right livelihood, the husbanding of resources and masculine nurturance.
