Victory to Lord Vishwakarma

Lord Vishwakarma is the divine architect and creator of the universe. Through His divine power and wisdom, He gifted humanity with scientific knowledge, craftsmanship, and creative skills. From ancient times, He guided human life toward discipline, innovation, and progress.

Over time, humanity has drifted away from the path shown by Lord Vishwakarma. This introduction presents important spiritual and historical facts to reconnect society with His teachings.

In today’s materialistic era, worship and devotion to Lord Vishwakarma are essential. In the age of science, seeking His blessings protects humanity from accidents, mental unrest, and imbalance. True progress is possible only when material and spiritual growth move together under His guidance.

All tools, machines, and systems of creation operate under the divine control of Lord Vishwakarma. Hence, both material development and spiritual upliftment are governed by Him.
