Text and/or other creative content from Sri Adhinathar was copied or moved into Vishnu with [permanent diff this edit]. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

There is a request, submitted by 46.200.212.181 (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "Important deity in Hinduism.".

Priority

Considering that Vaishnavism is the primary sect of Hinduism and most of the Hindus consider Vishnu as the Ultimate Being himself, shouldn't Vaishnavism have the priority especially at the introduction? —कृष्णकुलि^Krsnaquli || Contact - 06:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that non-Vaishnavas generally do not worship Vishnu. So worshipping Vishnu as a concept almost always means worshipping the Absolute Being and Absolute Self. —कृष्णकुलि^Krsnaquli || Contact - 06:27, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vishnu is a pan-Hindu deity, not restricted to Vaishnavism. For Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, we need to introduce him in a pan-Hindu context. Similar treatment is given in other references Britannica, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism p. 759, dictionary of Gods and Goddesses p. 342.

Revert of referenced informations

@DaxServer, could you please clarify the reason behind your reverts? —कृष्णकुलि^Krsnaquli || Contact - 09:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you decide not to answer, so please clarify reasons before reverting next time. —कृष्णकुलि^Krsnaquli || Contact - 10:11, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is regarding Gautam Buddha

I don't understand. Why are you saying this budda is the incarnation of Vishnu. This is completely false information. Remove this from Wikipedia. 103.177.82.205 (talk) 16:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you bothered to read Gautama Buddha in Hinduism, you'd know multiple Puranas mention the Buddha as an incarnation of Vishnu. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 10:33, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove wrong information

God Vishnu ceremonial sister is Yogamaya or Durga, no one scripture mentioned Parvati is brother of God Vishnu. Plz delete it in article. [[User:Krsnaquli| 2409:4071:4DBD:495E:5A03:8675:4AC0:2EA3 (talk) 02:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Implemented, Chariotrider555 (talk) 03:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit description by changes such as “in Vaishnavism one of the major contemporary within Hinduism ”

Add changes by supreme Being as Supreme Lord, in Shiva Wikipedia it is mentioned as Lord, then why you mentioned in this page unauthentic, kindly edit clearly and give all importance to all Deities in Hinduism. 2409:4071:4DBD:495E:E592:8C16:2012:76FA (talk) 10:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree the main infobox image should be Vishnu alone, without the avatars. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a painting by Ravi Varma Press called Shree Vishnu that I think fulfils your criteria. According to one site it's supposedly from the 1920s - 30s. I'm still kind of murky about copyright and domain so I'm not sure how to upload it. Maybe we could get some consensus about this or another painting and try to make sure it will be here to stay before it replaces the current infobox image.
