Brahma – The Hindu God Of Creation | Hindu Religion Explained

Brahma is the Hindu creator god known as the later equivalent of Prajapati. He is associated with creation, knowledge and the sacred Vedas. According to some Hindu sources such as the Mahabharata, Brahma is supreme in the triad of great Hindu gods which includes Vishnu and Shiva.
Most likely seen wearing a white robe with a sacred cord across his shoulder, Brahma is commonly depicted as a red or golden-complexioned bearded man with four heads facing the cardinal directions. This is to say that we must see that good and evil are intertwined in our universe and we should learn how to separate the two, keeping what is valuable and discarding what is not.
The origins of the term Brahma are uncertain, partly because several related words are found in the Vedic literature, such as Brahman for the Ultimate Reality and Brahmaṇa for priest. A distinction between the spiritual concept of Brahman and the deity Brahma is that the former is a genderless abstract metaphysical concept in Hinduism, while the latter is one of the many masculine gods in Hindu tradition. The spiritual concept of Brahman is quite old and some scholars suggest that the deity may have emerged as a personification of the impersonal universal principle of Brahman. But Brahma, although being the creative aspect of Brahman is not Brahman. Vishnu is more likely to be seen as a physical expression of the Absolute, as we observe him sleeping on Vasuki in the primal ocean of milk out of time and out of space. It is in this myth that Brahma appears seated as the first conscious deity on a lotus emerging from Vishnu’s navel. This Brahma has four faces and four arms holding the four holy books that exist before creation, and that give him the authority to create.
With Vishnu and Shiva, Brahma belongs to the trinity of supreme deities in the Hindu pantheon, however in terms of worship he does not have the importance of the other two gods. During the post-Vedic period, Brahma was a prominent deity who lost his significance by the 7th century. This is exactly the reason why some accounts say that if there is a worshiped trinity in India, the great goddess or Devi in her many forms would make up the third part with Vishnu and Shiva, but Brahma remains of great mythological importance. As the creator entity in the Puranas, he is frequently identified with the Vedic god Prajapati of the ancient Brahmanas.
