I've always wondered why we pray to Lord Pashupatinath to protect us. According to Hinduism, isn't Lord Pashupatinath the Destroyer? the God that's supposed to destroy things?

I make a motion that we start praying to Lord Vishnu, who's the Sustainer, to protect us.

I think we do not have to pray to Vishnu because he knows that he has to protect us by the virtue of his duty. We have to take care of the destruction that is going to happen so we pray to Pashupatinath to not let that happen because he is in charge of all the destructions. Sustainer is already a sustainer, and we have to make destroyer to sustainer as well, Yaso gurda " Dubbai haat ma Laddu ". purna jancha.
