The supreme abode of Lord Maha Vishnu is Vaikuntha. He rests on Ananta Shesha (big snake). His consort is Sri Maha Lakshmi Devi. He is the Lord of all the worlds and the eliminator of all the causes of fear.
Sri Maha Vishnu has four arms that holding Shankha (conch), Chakara (disk), Gadha (mace) and Padma (lotus). The Shanka represents the five basic elements of the universe, namely the Earth, water, fire, air and sky. Chakra means cosmic mind. The spirit is fast and lively like the chakra.
