Brahman Almighty God
The creator of the universe

Brahma is one of the three attributes of God Almighty. The two other attributes being the maintainer (god Vishnu) and the destroyer (god Shiva).


In hinduism Brahma god carries utmost significance yet in the history of mankind there is only one temple that has been dedicated to Lord Brahma. Lord Shiva has temples in every nook and corner of the world but deity Brahma has only one.

This single temple of god Brahma is located at Pushkar in India. Why is it so that only one temple is dedicated to Lord Brahma? Being the Creator of the cosmos we all owe our existence to god Brahma... yet there is only one temple, why?

Every human being nay every living being comes unto this world on its own. We never get created of our own sweet will. Everything is unto god Brahma's hand. One cannot be born on its own... all need the invisible hands of Lord Brahma to be born unto mother earth. So is the belief. If that is so... the need to worship Brahma does not seem to exist.

Why worship a god who conducts his affairs on his own. When the free will of a human being nay every living being is not considered at the time of beginning of life... why worship such a deity? This is the belief of every human being... the prime reason why Brahma is not being worshipped world-wide to the extent we worship Lord Shiva or other gods!


We worship one whom either we fear or consider involved in day-to-day affairs of life. We human beings by nature are very selfish. We are controlled by our senses and the mind which often prompt us on the path of deceit and things unethical. We never worship any god owing to reverence we have for that God.

We go to the temples and worship God for we desire/want to avail of his services in the times of need. Why else would a wanting human being lurch into a temple or a church knowing well that the time could be better spent in material pursuits of life.


Lord Brahma created the Cosmos and in the eyes of human beings that was the end of his job. Why pray to him for he has nothing further to bestow on mankind. Every human being lives a life of give and take. We never do things where returns are not promised. Why pray to god Brahma and spend our valuable time.

In the present Kali Yuga... the inherent greed plays the dominant role. Nishakama Karma (when a job is done without expecting anything in return) is rarely practiced. We often find huge gatherings in the discourses on Bhagavad-Gita but to implement what we hear is the problem. The materialistic tendencies existent within us forbid us to practice what we truly desire from within.
Brahma forms part of the Indian Trinity of Gods. Brahma is one and only one. This creative attribute of God Almighty is functional all the time yet it always remains unseen. For the Cosmos to exist... this creative aspect of God Almighty must continue to exist. In absence of god Brahma... the Cosmos would die its own death.

Every form of life on Earth nay in whole Cosmos owes its existence to Lord Brahma. This creative attribute of god Brahma comes into play with the start of a new cosmos... a new beginning. This happens after the dissolution of cosmos.

The end result of the dissolution of cosmos results in all souls / atmans in the cosmos uniting together in their pure from. This is the size of half a thumb as detailed in the most sacred document existing on Mother Earth... the Sacred Bhagavad-Gita.

Unable to retain itself for a long in its pure pristine form... the creative attribute of Almighty God... god Brahma (the size of half a thumb) explodes with a big bang. And starts the formation of a new cosmos... a new entity altogether. God Brahma has served its purpose. A new cosmos has begun its cosmic journey.


The manifest creative form of life is what god Brahma is all about! We must all with bowed hands pray to God Almighty for we all owe our existence to god Brahma.

Brahman: is totally different from the Gods we pray to in our normal course of Life. To comprehend the reality of the Absolute (Brahman) is just banned to ordinary Human Beings. Those on a path towards Self, God-Realization get a glimpse of his domain now and then ... the divine link which keeps the spark of self inquiry glowing within!

How much blessed are those ... Who see the Almighty in all its Cosmic glory!! The most beautiful of the beautiful ... is but a creation of his ... be it the beauty of the Nature, Science or a human being ... a perfect blonde in her teens!!! (Madhuri Dixit’s comparison to a Goddess is not an exaggeration. She is not a creation of spare time).

{(Madhuri Dixit a Goddess incarnate
"The swaying hips ... like the meandering flow of a river not tamed by set rules of limitation" "Dancing to the tune of music as if a lily swaying in soft breeze" "Naturality in her actions ... indicating absence of ego and false emotions" "To watch her is like drenching self in the first rain of the season ... unmindful of our lost self" "In her dancing we see pleasure defined in its most pure and pristine form"


"Oh Madhuri! You surely are Goddess incarnate" "In your form I see a daughter, sister, Bhabhi or a Mother dancing to the tune of heavenly Father, the Lord of all, the Almighty Creator" "In you I lose the sense of body"


"In my inner vision I see only a sparkling beauty, giving expression to the heights to which an Atman / soul can rise" "You dance to the rhythm of time" "Time stops when you dance ... the Creator is bewitched by your beauty" "God gets intoxicated by the beauty of his own creation"
A poem dedicated to Madhuri Dixit


Music is but for you Dance is there for you Dance! oh dear Madhuri ... dance Dance to the rhythm of time Music is serene for you are there Let not the whole World persuade you to stop


Dance until you live ... Humanity gets a new meaning with every step you dance Your every step beholds us to stop lest our breathing break the rhythm We quench our thirst ... our eyes glued to the swaying body You have given a new meaning to the dance


It is worth watching you act. No one knows when we shall meet again on the screen.)}

One who can create such beauty ... a Cosmos comprising of many Universes, a Universe comprising of many Milky ways and Galaxies, Milky ways and Galaxies having cluster of Stars exceeding tens of thousand in numbers! Among the Stars a small Star with nine Planets is our Solar system!! What Cosmic beauty ... what display of accuracy and control!! Not a single Star or Planet going out of control and dashing against another upsetting the Cosmic order and balance ... You can now imagine how mighty would he be!!!

Is a puny Human Being supposed to question his propriety? The most frequently asked question (FAQ) ... Why we were created! To suffer at his hands!! What an anomaly!!! Why would he who created us would lead us astray only to suffer ... Such is not ... his being. We underestimate and under evaluate him and continue doing our most heinous deeds! We try to shift the blame of our cowardice and inaction ... Still, the balance remains maintained.

Theory of Karma keeps the system of God perpetuating in full glory ... only to be rediscovered by an Avatar, a son of God after every 1000~2000 years! Only when such a mighty one unveils the Absolute Truth ... Do we shift the focus of blame from God to self and praise the Lord for what he is and shall continue to be.

Brahma is that attribute of God Almighty which resulted in the creation of the cosmos. Brahma is the Creative power of the cosmos in Hinduism.

Creator: "Brahman, the Creator" is one. Gods can be many. Brahman created the Universe and in it all Atmans (Souls). These Atmans manifest themselves in different forms to purify themselves. Once purified ... they attain Moksha (liberation). The purified Atmans have been accorded a status by the Society ... we call them God. Man Gods ... are those Human Beings, those jivas who in their Life time have liberated themselves from the cycle of birth and death and have become immortal (amar). They are known as amar for they shall not manifest again.


No living being can ever become immortal for the manifested form has a limited Life and with passage of time it biologically degrades. By controlling your breath with use of certain "Asanas" (Yogic exercises) you can never hope of becoming "immortal". If you’re normal Life is destined to be 70 years you may prolong it unto 200 years but what after!!! Moha (attachments) of the bodily frame shall ever keep you away from obtaining "Brahma-Jnana" for a realized soul wants to leave this body and attain liberation (moksha) at the earliest!


These liberated Souls who were top on the ladder and who also imparted "Brahma-Jnana", before leaving for the abode of God, the Creator were given the status of God ... for the messages coming out of their mouth were "Eternal messages - the texts contained in Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and all Religions of the World". All these Human Gods were powerful enough - to invoke any message from the mighty reservoir of thoughts i.e. Mind plus. They never let any thought from Mind minus come nearby. Listening to them was for any mortal like hearing the voice of God - the creator, the Brahman himself. Adi Shankaracharya who interpreted the Vedas, Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita is considered mighty ... for he also attained a near-God status by his bright revelations about the system of God.
