So as I mentioned I want to connect certain days of the week with certain topics...
Wednesdays being stories.
Now stories in Hinduism are important because they help you to learn, understand and discern.
For the next ten weeks I thought I would write about the ten Avatars of Vishnu
Avatars refers to a deliberate descent of a deity from heaven to earth
The concept of avatar within Hinduism is most often associated with Vishnu, the preserver or sustainer aspect of God within the Hindu Trinity.
Vishnu's avatars typically descend for a very specific purpose, to bring dharma, or righteousness, back to the social and cosmic order. So next week will start with the first one, Matsya a fish avatar.
