Vishnu (Sanskrit) is a Vedic Supreme God (including his different avataras) in Hinduism religion, venerated as the Supreme Being in the Vaishnavism. He is also known as Narayana or Hari and is venerated as Purushottama or Supreme Purusha in all of Hindu Vedic sacred texts like Bhagavad Gita, Vedas and Puranas.
The Vishnu Sahasranama of Mahabharata declares Vishnu as Paramatman (supreme soul) and Parameshwara (supreme God). It describes Vishnu as the All-Pervading essence of all beings, the master of—and beyond—the past, present and future, the creator and destroyer of all existences, one who supports, sustains and governs the Universe and originates and develops all elements within.
