Male Hindu gods I believe. Shiva was the destroyer and Vishnu the preserver. Not sure of the connection between them and Vishnu tuning.

No, it's Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma(the creator). Collectively known as the Trimurti. Similar to Christianity's Holy Trilogy.

I think that's what he believes.

read this

http://www.pantheon.org/articles/v/vishnu.html

"that men attain salvation by faithfully following predetermined paths of duty, and that powers of good and evil (gods and demons) are in contention for domination over the world."

that and it sounds good for a performance shop.

just like, godspeed inc.

Maybe they just chose it because "Hot Buddha" and "Jesus Tuning" were taken.
