"The Hindu Philosophy of Vishnu" provides a structured overview of Viṣṇu across different Hindu traditions, beginning with the Vedic roots of the deity as a preserver and a cosmic entity. It meticulously maps out the three "stacked" forms of Viṣṇu (Mahā-Viṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, and Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu) to explain the concepts of transcendence, universal architecture, and immanence within Vaiṣṇava cosmology. Furthermore, the script summarizes how major Vedāntic philosophies interpret these forms and draws analogies between Viṣṇu’s cosmic role and modern ideas regarding multiverses, scale-dependent theories in science, and panentheism. Ultimately, the podcast frames the different divine forms not as competing deities but as relational "windows" for devotion and ethical practice.
