Specification: Publisher : Vakils Feffer & Simons by : Devdutt Pattanaik Cover : Paperback Language : English Edition : 2007 Pages : x, 122p. Weight : 550 gm. Size : 10.9 x 8.3 x 0.4 inches ISBN-10: 8187111909 ISBN-13: 978-8187111900 Description: Vishnu: An Introduction attempts to highlight the many aspects of the preserver of the cosmos. As the sustainer of the elements, the lord of ten principal avatars, and the god of a thousand names – Rama, Krishna, Varaha, Narasimha, Narayana – Vishnu is an enigma and an intellectual challenge. The book untangles the bulk of this Godhead’s philosophy. Through a narrative that is eminently simple, and images that compliment a lucidly-written text, the book guides the reader through Vaishnava belief, history, folklore and myth.
