In Vishnu Purana, many wonderful and bright descriptions of the geography, astrology, rituals, dynasty, Shri Krishna character, etc. have been given.

Even if this is the case, this Purana is Vishnu-oriented, even then, in this Purana, for Lord Shiva, there has not been any condescending feeling.

In the entire Vishnu Purana, the context of Shiva comes only in the battle of Banasur. Lord Shri Krishna Himself manifesting his inseparability with Shiva, Shri Lord Krishna says

'yadbhayam dattam taddattamkhilam maya mattoऽvividmamatmanam drtumarhasi shankar 47॥"

Emphasis has been laid on strengthening the agricultural system. It has been said to provide security to families by connecting households, villages, cities, etc. That is why the earth was named ‘Prithvi’.

In the story of ‘Dhruv’, considering worldly pleasures, opulence, wealth, etc. to be fleeting i.e. perishable, inspiration has been given for spiritual progress.

In the case of Prahlad, there is talk of philanthropy and not giving up principles and ideals even in times of crisis.

In Vishnu Purana, the character description of Lord Vishnu’s avatar Shri Krishna is mainly described. In brief, the story of Ram is also mentioned.

Performing Duties:- (Pathi Dharma)

A woman who desires service and happiness for her husband with all her body and mind gets salvation without doing any other work.

Spiritual discussion:-

Human life is said to be the best in Vishnu Purana. Even gods are willing to take human birth. A human being frees from the trap of delusion and does the right thing. The message of ‘Nishkam Karma’ and ‘Gyan Marga’ has been given in Vishnu Purana. In human life, both the Karma Marga and the Dharma Marga are followed. Whether in the forest or in the house, a man achieves God while performing his duty.
