Vaikuntha
is the abode of Vishnu and constitutes numerous Janapadas.
The magnificence of
Vaikunth is beyond description and it houses many grand palaces fully decorated
with jewels and diamonds.
The
central part of Vaikuntha is called Ayodhya and is well protected by dwarpals
named Chanda, Prachanda, Bhadra, Subhadra, Jaya, Vijay, Dhata, and Vidhata. Vaikunth
is inhabited by countless divine people who live in well-illuminated houses.
In the
central part of Ayodhya is situated the 'antahpuri' of Lord Vishnu. It is inhabited
by celestial beauties--apsaras.
There
is a divine Canopy situated just at the center of antahpuri, where Lord Vishnu
has his divine throne.
The
divine throne is surrounded by deities as well as by the embodiments of all the
four Vedas--- Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda.
The
deities---Agni, Surya, and Chandrama have their dwellings at the center of
Vishnu's throne. There is a grand pedestal called yogapeeth established on the
throne.
A
beautiful lotus flower is established on the yogapeeth on which is seated Lord
Vishnu along with his consort- Laxmi.
Lord
Vishnu appears divine in his complexion of a blue lotus, whose radiance is
enough to subdue crores of sun.
He has
radiant earrings hanging down his earlobes.
His
forehead is covered with curly hair.
He has
the famous 'Kaustubh mani' on his neck.
He
holds a conch and a chakra in each of his two hands and the remaining two hands
are in the posture of giving blessings.
A
person who has total devotion to Lord Vishnu attains Vaikunth after his death.
