Duties of God ?

Responsibilities of God, we all taught as सृष्टि स्थिति संहारः - creation protecting and samharam. But it is much beyond that, they are படைத்தல் காத்தல் அழித்தல் மறைத்தல் மற்றும் அருளல். In Lalitha Sahasranamam it is mentioned as -

सृष्टिकर्त्री ब्रह्मरूपा गोप्त्री गोविन्दरूपिणी ॥ 

The mother goddess is in the form of Brahma and creates...she is Govinda and protects...

संहारिणी रुद्ररूपा तिरोधान-करीश्वरी ।

She is in the form of Rudra performs samharam and is our Eashwara who is responsible for hiding (making us to forget) certain things from us. 

सदाशिवाऽनुग्रहदा पञ्चकृत्य -परायणा ॥ 

She is also our Sadashiva who gives us anugraha or blesses us. Blessings are different from protection. These are her 5 duties.

Shiva also has 5 faces -ईशान तत्पुरुष वामदेव अघोर सद्योजात  - Ishana Tatpurusha Vamdeva, Aghora, Sadyojata. They are representations of the five actions described earlier. 

Veda Mata Gayathri too has 5 faces. Gayathri's picture is one of my favourite.

Lord Subrahmanya has 6 faces - additional face is named as antharmukam अन्तर्मुखः - Pure consciousness- Representation of Union of Jeeva Brahma Tatvam...

But Lord Krishna when displayed the Vishwaroopa Darshana depicts with thousands of heads, this indicates that because of our limitation in knowledge we have limited the duties God/Paramatma but in reality it is much beyond that.
