Vaishnavism is a major tradition within Hinduism that focuses on the worship of Vishnu and his avatars, particularly Krishna and Rama. Followers believe that Vishnu is the supreme deity who preserves and protects the universe. Devotees engage in various practices, including prayer, chanting, and rituals, to cultivate a personal relationship with God. The tradition emphasizes the importance of devotion, or bhakti, as a means to attain spiritual liberation. Vaishnavism has a rich philosophical foundation, with texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Puranas providing guidance on ethics, devotion, and the nature of the divine.
