The Vishnu Purana talks about the six divine attributes of the consort of Maa Lakshmi, collectively called Ṣaḍ-aiśvaryas.
Those six divine qualities or traits of Bhagwan Vishnu are :
Jñāna (knowledge): Bhagwan Vishnu has complete knowledge of each and everything in existence. His knowledge is not limited by space or time. He is always aware of everything in the past, present, and future.
Bala (strength): Bhagwan Vishnu possesses unparalleled strength. He
can lift mountains just by a mere thought.
Aiśvarya (command): He has full command over His entire creation. Everything happens according to His will, without any hindrance whatsoever.
Vīrya (valor): Bhagwan Vishnu is Vīra, a hero of unmatched valor. No one
can defeat Him in a duel, except Himself—[Vīrya can also be understood as a tendency to be unaffected by external factors].
Śakti (ability): Bhagwan Vishnu is Sarva-śaktimān. He is fully capable of doing everything that others can do. At the same time, He can also do that
which others cannot.
Tējas (independence): Bhagwan Vishnu is independent of everything other than Him. He does not need the assistance of someone other than Himself for doing anything.
Even though Bhagwan Vishnu is said to have infinite attributes according to Vishnu Purana,
Brahma Moksha Kanda of Garuda Purana talks about Sri Vishnu’s 32 auspicious traits.

There are four levels of experiencing deep connection with the Divine.
1. Saamipya
It means to feel that we are very close and very dear to the Divine. Now when will you get this experience? Will you feel this closeness tomorrow, day after tomorrow, 10 days
later or a few months later? No! Right now, in this very moment, just feel that you are very close to the Divine. This is what a Guru does. A Guru helps you feel that closeness with the Divine.
2. Saanidhya
Saanidhya means to feel or invoke the presence of the Divine. When you meditate, you become aware of the existence of the Divine; you experience the presence.
For example, we are enveloped by the air at all times but we do not always feel its presence. When you

श्री राम का घर छोड़ना एक षड्यंत्रों में घिरे राजकुमार की करुण कथा है और कृष्ण जी का घर छोड़ना गूढ़ कूटनीति।
राम जो आदर्शों को निभाते हुए कष्ट सहते हैं, कृष्ण षड्यंत्रों के हाथ नहीं आते, बल्कि स्थापित आदर्शों को चुनौती देते हुए एक नई परिपाटी को जन्म देते हैं।
श्री राम से श्री कृष्ण हो जाना एक सतत प्रक्रिया है....
राम को मारिचि भ्रमित कर सकता है, लेकिन कृष्ण को पूतना की ममता भी नहीं उलझा सकती।
राम अपने भाई को मूर्छित देखकर ही बेसुध बिलख पड़ते हैं, लेकिन कृष्ण अभिमन्यु को दांव पर लगाने से भी नहीं हिचकते।
राम राजा हैं, कृष्ण
राजनीति...राम रण हैं, कृष्ण रणनीति...
राम मानवीय मूल्यों के लिए लड़ते हैं, कृष्ण मानवता के लिए...
हर मनुष्य की यात्रा राम से ही शुरू होती है और समय उसे कृष्ण बनाता है।
व्यक्ति का कृष्ण होना भी उतना ही जरूरी है, जितना राम होना..
लेकिन राम से प्रारंभ हुई यह यात्रा तब तक

Unknown Facts of Ramayan Black Cave Wormhole in Ramayana used as Transportation System across Space and Time.
During last century, scientist Albert Einstein considered the possibility of using wormholes as potential roadways for time and space travel.
But,
Ancient Indian epic poem ‘Ramayana‘ has described a scene where transportation into another world or timezone was done through a black cave, which acted as a worm hole. A wormhole, also known as an Einstein–Rosen bridge, is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that
would be fundamentally a “shortcut” through spacetime.
A wormhole is much like a tunnel with two ends each in separate points in spacetime. In Kishkinda Kanda (Sarga 50-52) of Ramayana, sage Valmiki describes a situation where Hanuman, Angada and other Vanaras overstayed at Mount
