Bhagwan Vishnu is the protector of the world. Whenever there is too much evil, he takes a new form—called an avatar—to save people and bring peace. He took on different avatars (forms) to protect the good and stop the bad. Each Bhagwan Vishnu avatar teaches us to be brave, kind, truthful, and helpful. No matter how big the problem is, good always wins in the end!
