Why don't Lord Vishnu have kids ?
It leaves me in much awe , when realising that this indeed is a question in many a person's thoughts ...
Though an interpretation has been put forth in an earlier post Why don't Lord Vishnu have any kids ? - Part 1 , recently I just had to face the same question from a friend with her own interpretation , which goes as "
" maybe it is because to indirectly imply (to us, people/devotees) that even gods can't have all the wealth/health/pleasures at the same time. You are always left wanting to have something that you don't have. Poor have kids (want money); rich have money (want kids); those who have both (kids and money) want health and/or peace(of mind) and the list of what you have and what you want (don't have yet) is never ending. So maybe that is the reason? "
I feel it this way ..

" Lord Vishnu & Goddess Lakshmi are Gods of Wealth and Prosperity , as we know very well. And innumerable number of people throng the holy place of Thirupathi , to seek Lord Balaji's blessings in the form of wealth and prosperity.And Goddess Lakshmi is revered so much that people keep calling Her name in their prayers , seeking the wealth showers.

If that's the case, where will the Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi find a leisure time to think about a kid of their own ?!
They should be too busy attending to the needs of the Earth inhabitants who are so much fond of wealth !!
If we consider Lord Shiva and Parvathi , the deities responsible for the peace of mind/tranquility/strength etc, they are less sought for comparitevely by the people of the world. Therefore more amount of leisure time left for Lord Shiva and Parvathi and they could very well think of planning a family with 2 kids !!
So , we can expect Lord Vishnu to have kids, if the people start cutting down their demands with regards to the material benefits and bother Goddess Lakshmi to a lesser extent in the near future !!
Love & smiles...

No vishu does have a child - kamdev: the desire personified. And vishnu is the father of our universe as well as all the universes. So he is the universal father.
ReplyDeletePlease don't discriminate between shiva and vishnu by saying: 'they are less sought for by the people of this world'- shiva and vishnu r one and same. In fact the whole iconoclast of gods and goddesses in hinduism is nothing but a representation of nirakara brahman. So vishnu, shiva and all other deities are emblem of one same almighty.
Thanks for your comment !!
ReplyDeleteTrue !!
Vishnu , Shiva and all other deities represent the One and the Same !!
Not only that ...
Jesus, Allah and all other existing names represent only that One !!
