The monumental task of controlling and running the world is done by Lord Vishnu. Time and time again when the world was in peril He saved it through His various Avataras. The Bhagavatam Purana which gives the details of his various Avataras is regarded as the most important Purana. The Bhagavad Gita He taught to Arjuna during His incarnation as Krishna is undoubtedly the greatest religious discourse in the world. Goddess Laxmi, His consort, is the giver of eight types of wealth. No Vedic ceremony is complete without reciting His Purusha Suktam.
