Vishnu is a part of the trinity and plays the role of the creator. He has taken ten incarnations to save the planet and the good people from the hands of evils or demons. There are many mantras to please Lord Vishnu.
Vishnu’s preserving, restoring, and protecting powers have been manifested in the world in a series of ten earthly incarnations known as avatars. The avatars arrive either to prevent a great evil or to effect good upon the earth. Nine are said to have descended already: three in nonhuman form, one in hybrid form and five in human form. The most important are Rama, fearless upholder of the law of dharma and Krishna, youthful hero of the Bhagavad Gita Vishnu’s final avatar is expected to arrive at a time when the earth is at the end of its present cycle, with the purpose of destroying the world and subsequently recreating it.
Vaishnavites, one of the largest Hindu groups, are the devotees of Vishnu as Ishvara, the Supreme Being, worshipped in the forms of his manifestations or incarnations. Because of his pervasive presence, images as the focus of worship are of great importance, as are temple architecture and carving.

I just saw Sudha Murthy on TV. She recited a Vishnu sloka she learnt from her grandfather. Someone asked Lord Vishnu what flower/Pushpam he would like to receive. Vishnu responded he wanted those Pushpam which show control of mind, truth, meditation and yoga, etc. she said that in Sanskrit. I could not write it down. Like to get that Vishnu sloka. Please respond at my email below.Thank you.
I would like to know how many times we can chant the Lord Vishnu Mantra – Achyutaya Namaha, Ananthaaya Namaha, Govindaaya Namaha. (minimum 5, 7 or 108)thanks
108 times is best. It gives immediate result. Also write it down 108 times in a New Book everyday
