Lord Vishnu visited a temple called Thiruveelamilali while Lord Shiva and Devi Parvathi was there. Lord vishnu loved the beauty of the temple and the fact that Lord Shiva and Parvathi were there
In his devotion to Lord Shiva lord Vishnu made a request to Lord Shiva that he wants to worship Lord Shiva and Parvathi in that Temple.
Lord Shiva as usual agreed for this request and changed himself to the form of a Lingha.
Lord Vishnu started his prayers every day he visits the garden around there and pick 1000 flowers with which he worships Lord Shiva.
One day he was short of a flower. He was so worried that he would not be able to full fill his duties in the Worship of lord Shiva he digs one of his eyes and offer that as the 1000th flower to Lord Shiva/
Overwhelmed by the devotion of Lord Vishnu , lord Shiva offers a boon to Vishnu. He amalgamates all his powers together and instill them in a small wheel called Chakkra. And presents this to Lord Vishnu and requests him to protect the world by getting rid of evils with the help of this powerful wheel.
This is one of the weapons that Lord Vishnu carries in his one of the four hands all the time/ He also uses this wheel to get reed of the bad people who provoke evil deeds on the world.
The bond between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu is very strong they admire one another and worship one another. It is also said they both but one and is separated in different forms for the purpose of protecting the world.
Once when Lord Shiva was asked who he pray to while he meditates he smiles and says that he pray to Lord Narayana. On the same way when Lord Vishnu was asked who prays while he meditates his answer was Lord Shiva.
what we see in the form of gods are in fact our inner sense. It is very difficult for average person to look within him/herself to realise god resides within them. Hence several forms of gods were introduced explaining the different functions of a person and the purpose of living.
