This
dharm starts with Viswarup & Radha. They are like the father and mother of
this dharm. The world starts with Vishnu taking birth with the aid of Devi
Bhagwati. When he grows up, he gives birth to Brahma through his naabhi. And
after Brahma grows up, he gives birth to Mahesh.
People
generally pray to one of these gods. That depends on which one appeals to them
most and on their own swabhaav. There are various different customs that are
followed by people in this dharm, again depending on who they pray. For e.g.
Mahashivratri by Shaiv & Satyanarayan Vrat by Vaishnavs.
This
dharm is not a set of rules to be followed but a way of life. People 'discover
within themselves' which dev they will pray to. And they share their life's
issues with their dev who guide, teach and heal them on their journey. Life is
considered a journey ending in moksha. Moksha is freedom of the soul from
karma.
