Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 When does the creator of the universe Brahama decide to create the universe? When Does Vishinu decide to preserve it? WHen does Shiva decide to destroy it? Is Brahama the universe itself? Do we live in him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harish Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 the concept of three equal godheads is simplistic and based on puranic interpretations. The true understanding is that all three are done by the same God, That one God can be Vishnu or Shiva or other based on interpretation of Puranas. In the vaishnava beleifs, Vishnu as Padma-Nabha creates 4 faced Brahma who arises from the lotus from Vishnu's navel, and he creates the rest of the universe. During desctruction, the universe enters Vishnu again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Brahma is mortal as son of Shree Hari. Shiva is destructive power of Vishnu/Narayana and hence one and the same. Supreme personality of Godhead as described by Sankara is Narayana to whom He prayed as Shiva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
