Brahma
Brahma is described as the soul and creator of the universe, the self created father of the world and the indwelling spirit of the cosmic system. According to Hinduism, at the end of each great cycle of time, or kalpa, the universe is destroyed. Brahma is then reborn of Vishnu and recreates the world system for him.
Brahma, the creator god, appears seated on a lotus that comes out of the navel of Vishnu, a symbol of glorious existence. He has four heads and four hands, which hold a sacrificial tool, the Vedas , a water pot and a rosary. Brahma's vehicle is a swan, which is known to distinguish between good and bad. Goddess Saraswathi, the goddess of education, arts and knowledge, is his consort. |
