Self Realization

Brahma

In Hindu mythology the supreme soul is described in the form of a trinity which is as follows:

Brahma- Creator

Vishnu- Preserver

Shiva- Destroyer and Progenitor.

When the consciousness was in the form of Mahatatthva it turned into an oval shape and began floating on the milky ocean.

Lord Vishnu lied down inside this Mahatatthva and from his navel sprung a thousand petal lotus which symbolizes universal intelligence.

Lord Brahma sat on this thousand petal lotus and meditated on god.

In the beginning Lord Brahma created the four Kumaras also known as Catursana. 

Brahma created them so that they may in turn procreate and populate the universe created by Brahma. 

However these Kumaras chose celibacy and devotion to lord Vishnu.

Then lord Brahma created his ten mind born sons called the Prajapatis.

He also created a daughter called Satrupa who could change her form hundreds of times.

The names of Brahma’s sons are as follows:

1.  Marichi                          

2.  Atri                      

3.  Angirasa

4.  Pulaha

5.  Pulasthya

6.  Krathu

7.  Vashista


9.  Bhrigu

10.              Narada
