Har Har Mahadev Dear readers, how are you guys, hope you are fine by the grace of Lord Shiva.
How Brahma created the universe ?
The question of how the universe originated has been a research topic for scientists around the world for many decades. Many scientists believe that due to some explosion this creation originated and then in the course of development gradually the origin of living beings started. But according to the Hindu scriptures, the creation of this universe was done by the Supreme Father Brahma with his own hands.
Which has been described in many Puranas and Vedas including Vishnu Purana, Narada Purana. And this is the reason why the Supreme Father Brahma is also called the creator of the universe. But in this post we are going to tell you what the Shiv Purana says about the creation of the universe. So let's start today's story without any delay.
Friends ! In the Rudra Samhita of Shiva Purana, it has been described that when Naradji asked the Supreme Father Brahma about the origin of the universe, Brahma said that -Devarshi! As you know that I originated from the navel lotus of Shri Hari.
When I was born, Mahadev, the God of Gods, ordered me to create the universe and he disappeared. After that, I started thinking about my duty in order to obey his orders, and then after saluting Lord Shankar,(shiva) getting knowledge from Sri Hari and getting bliss, I decided to create the universe.
After that, remembering Lord Shiva and him with the desire to create the universe, first of all I put my anjali in the water created by him and tossed the water upwards. Due to this an egg appeared there. Which is called a group of 24 elements.

Hey Muni Shrestha! That colossal sized egg was inert. Not seeing consciousness in him, I got very suspicious. And I started doing very harsh penance. In this way, for 12 years he was engaged in the contemplation of Lord Vishnu.
After that Lord Shri Hari himself appeared and clarified my organs with great love and said to me happily - O Brahma, ask for a boon. I am very pleased with your penance. I do not owe you anything.
By the grace of Lord Shiva, I am able to give everything. Hearing this, I said to Lord Shri Hari - O Lord! The kindness you have shown me is absolutely right - because Lord Shankar has handed me over to you, O Vishnu, salutations to you. Give me what I ask of you today.
Lord, there is no consciousness in this huge egg made of 24 elements. The stud ghost appears. Hey Narayan! At this time you have appeared here by the grace of Lord Shiva. Therefore, bring consciousness to this egg obtained from Shiva's creation power or Vibhuti.
When I said this, Maha Vishnu, who was ready to obey the orders of Lord Shiva, took shelter of the infinite form and entered that egg. At that time, that supreme man had a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a thousand feet. They surrounded the land from all sides and pervaded that egg.
When Shri Vishnu entered that egg after being praised well by me. Then he became aware of the disordered form of 24 elements. In the form of that egg which had a period from Hades to Satyalok, only Shri Hari started sitting there.
Being widespread in that huge egg, Lord Vairaj is called Purush. Prasanna Mukh Mahadev not only built Sugam Kailash Nagar for his living. The one who is adorned above all the worlds. Devarshi, even if the entire universe is destroyed, both these abodes, Baikunth and Kailash, never get destroyed.
Hey Narad! I take shelter of Satyalok. And only by the order of Mahadev ji, the desire to create the universe has arisen in me. After that, when I started thinking with the desire to create the universe, at that time, first of all, sin and tamoguna emerged in me unknowingly. which is called avidya panchak.
After that, being happy, by the order of Shambhu, I again started thinking about the creation with a non-attachment. At that time the immovable conjunctive tree etc. was created by me. Which is called the main canto.
This is the first canto. Knowing that he is also not a seeker of effort for himself, the second canto appeared from me Brahma who desired the creation. which is full of sorrow. Its name is Tiryaka Srotā.
That canto was also not an effort seeker. Knowing him also devoid of the power of means of effort, when I again started thinking about the creation. Then soon the third sattvik canto emerged in me. It is called Udharva Srotara.
It also became famous by the name of Devsarg. Devsarg is truthful and very pleasant. Knowing that he is also devoid of the interest and authority of means of purusharth, I started thinking of my Lord Shri Shiva for another canto. After that, by the order of Lord Shankar, a Rajoguni creation emerged.
Who has been called an avaricious listener. Humans are the creatures of this canto. The one who is the high officer of the means of effort. After that, by the order of Mahadev ji, ghosts etc. were created. In this way I have described 5 types of vicious creation.
Apart from these, 3 Prakrit cantos have also been called. Those who have appeared from nature by the association of me Brahma. The first important among these is Sarg. The second is the canto of the subtle ghosts i.e. Tanmatao and the third is called Vaikarik Sarga.
Thus they are three natural cantos. By mixing both Prakrit and Vaikrit types of cantos, there are eight cantos. Apart from these, there is the ninth Komarg Sarg. Which is natural as well as vicious. I cannot describe the difference between all these because it is of little use.
O Muni Shrestha! After all this the dual canto was rendered. Another name for this is Komarg Sarg. In which the important creation of Sun Nandan etc. Kumars took place.
Sanak etc. are my four Manas sons. Who is equal to me Brahma. He was endowed with great renunciation and observed the best fast. His mind is always engaged in the contemplation of Lord Shiva. He is detached from the world and knowledgeable.
But he refused to create the universe even after I ordered him. Hearing this, I got very angry and at that time darkness enveloped me. At that time I remembered Lord Vishnu in my mind and he came soon. He explained to me that you should do penance for the pleasure of Lord Shiva.
After that, as per the order of Shri Hari, I started doing great and excellent penance in the name of Lord Shiva. While doing penance, Sarveshwar and Dayasagar Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Ardhanarishwar from both my eyebrows and the middle part of the nostrils. The one who is free from birth, the zodiac sign of Tej and is omniscient and omnipresent.
Seeing Umavallabh Shankar standing in front of him with the name of blue color, he bowed his head with great devotion, was very happy after praising him and said to God, Lord, you create different types of living beings. Hearing these words of mine, Devadhidev Mahadev created many Rudra Gunas like himself.
Then I said again to my master Maheshwar Maharudra - You create such creatures who are full of fear of birth and death. Muni Shrestha! Hearing such words of mine, Karuna Sagar Mahadev ji (lord shiva) laughed and immediately told me that I will not create indecent creatures with the fear of birth and death. Because they will be immersed in the ocean of sorrow due to their actions. I will only uplift those souls drowned in the ocean of sorrow.
Taking the form of a Guru, I will take them all across the worldly ocean by giving them the best knowledge. Prajapati! (brahma ji) You only protect all the living beings drowning in sorrow.
Maya will not be able to bind you because you are engaged in this work by my order. Saying this to me, Shriman Bhagwan Nillohit Mahadev immediately disappeared from there along with his councilors, that is, went away.
After that I composed Rigveda from east face, Yajurveda from south face, Samaveda from west face and Atharvaveda from north face as per the order of Devadhidev Mahadev. After that, I Composed Upavedas like Ayurveda, Dhunarveda, Gandharvaveda and Sthapatya etc.
Then from my mouth I created history and Puranas and created Yogavidya, Tapa, charity, truth, religion etc. and finally I created Aunkar (Om) from my heart, from other parts I created seven notes from the play of characters, voices, verses etc.
But after creating all these, when I felt that my creation was not growing. So I divided my body into two parts. Whose name and or i.e. body. From one of those two parts man and from the other woman was born. The man's name was Manu and the woman's name was Shatrupa. Manu and Shatrupa started the human world.
So dear readers! Now you must have come to know how Brahma ji created the universe. Hope you have liked the information. If you liked this post of ours then do let us know. With this, we end our talk here and pray to Lord Shiva that you have a happy life. Will meet again with the next post in Devotional Story, till then you keep smiling - keep smiling.
