Description:
The Vaishnavite tradition is a branch of Hinduism that reveres Vishnu. Vaishnavites trace their lineage to the sage Vyasa, who is said to have compiled the Vedas. Vaishnavites believe in a pantheon of gods and goddesses, including Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma. Vaishnavites have a number of customs, including worshipping in temples and fasting during the month of Ashadha. There are many variations of the Vaishnavite tradition, including the Sri Vaishnavite tradition, the Chaitanya Vaishnavite tradition, and the Dvaita Vaishnavite tradition.
