I have learnt about Brahma’s replies from my guru (teacher) Vedvyasa. I will relate to you what I know. In the beginning , there was water everywhere and the brahman (the divine essence) slept on this water in the form of Vishnu. Since water is called nara and since ayana means a bed, Vishnu is known as Narayana. In the water there emerged a golden egg (anda). Brahma was born inside the egg. Since he created himself, he is called Svayambhu, born (bhu) by himself (svayam). For one whole year, Brahma lived inside the egg. He then split the egg into two and created heaven (svarga) and the earth (prithivi) from the two parts of the egg.

  • The Story of Sa Ṃ J Ñ Ā , Mother of Manu
    1 2 Th e Story of Saṃ j ñ ā , Mother of Manu: Shadow and Light in the M ā rkaṇ ḍ eya Pur ā ṇ a Raj Balkaran Th e Sanskrit narrative text Dev ī M ā h ā tmya , “Th e Greatness of Th e Goddess” (henceforth DM), extols the triumphs of an all-powerful Goddess, Durg ā , over universe-imperiling demons. Th e exploits of this formidable fi gure constitute the fi rst known Sanskrit articulation of a Great Goddess within the Indian subcontinent, indeed the fi rst occasion where the ultimate divine principle is accorded femininity. Believed to have emerged somewhere along the Narmada River c fi ft h century ce (Kinsley, 1982: 153), the DM is preserved in thousands of manuscripts across India, in remarkably stable fashion. It is recited as liturgy to Durg ā in temples, during individual daily spiritual practice, and at temples and homes during the autumnal Navar ā tri (nine nights) Hindu festival. While the DM equates supreme reality with the feminine Hindu concepts of m ā y ā , ś akti , and prakṛ ti , it posits no systematic theory; instead, it masterfully interweaves these philosophical strands—as only narrative can—into the visage of a Feminine Divine whose power surpasses that of the Vedic pantheon, and even that of the cosmic trim ū rti comprised of the great gods Brahm ā , Viṣ ṇ u, and Ś iva. Hindu narrative literature is enormously didactic in nature, functioning to preserve philosophical principles and religious ideology across the centuries. Th erefore, the overwhelming scholarly emphasis on philosophical texts over narrative literature has proven problematic.

  • Revisiting Purāṇic Chronology
    European Journal of Science and Theology, February 2021, Vol.17, No.1, 25-37 _______________________________________________________________________ REVISITING PURĀṆIC CHRONOLOGY Sidharth Chhabra* MIT School of Vedic Sciences, Rajbaug, Loni Kalbhor, Pu, Al Luqta St, Maharashtra, 412201, India (Received 22 May 2020, revised 21 October 2020) Abstract The Purāṇas provide dates for major events in the history of the Earth, Solar System and Universe. These dates are within 0.3% of half of the modern scientific dates for these events. Since modern scientific dating involves several completely independent techniques that are subject to different sources of error, the fact that all of these scientific techniques yield dates that are twice those of Purāṇic dates suggests that traditional Purāṇic chronology is off by a factor of two. The 14th century Purāṇic scholar, Śrīdhara Svāmī, alluded to this in his commentary on the Viṣṇu Purāṇa. This paper also reviews Purāṇic time units and notes the presence of a time unit, the pratisaṃdhi, which has hitherto escaped scholarly attention. Keywords: purāṇas, cosmology, chronology, radiometric dating, Big Bang 1. Introduction The Purāṇas are Indian encyclopaedias handed down by oral tradition for thousands of years and first written down on palm leaves between the second and twelfth centuries AD [1]. The oldest extant editions of the Purāṇas date to the 19th century. Scholars now universally acknowledge that the Purāṇic system of time units is at least 2000 years old [2]. The Purāṇas provide dates for significant paleontological and astrophysical events, recorded in terms of specific periods of time known as yugas, manvantaras and kalpas. There are eighteen Maha Purāṇas, which are considered corollaries to the four Vedas.

  • The Saturn Planet)
    Shani-deva (The Saturn Planet) The planet Saturn (Shani), is one of the Navagraha. Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn and is the Lord of Saturday (Saturn-day). The word shani also denotes the seventh day or Saturday. The word shani comes from Shanye Kramati Sah, the one who moves slowly, because Saturn takes about 30 years to revolve around the Sun. Shani is the son of the Sun Deity (Surya-deva) and his wife Chhaya, hence is also known as Chayyaputra. He is the elder brother of Yamaraja, the Deity of Death. Surya©s two sons Shanideva and Yama-raja performs judgement upon the world. Shani gives us the results of one©s deeds throughout one©s life through appropriate punishments and rewards and Yamaraja grants the results of one©s deeds after death. "The ultimate Tantric viewpoint in Indian astrology is to please Saturn, because of all the planets Saturn is the greatest." It is possible, through rigorous penance, to control the darshan of all eight of the other planets, but Saturn can only be propitiated, not controlled. While everyone - deva, asura or human - who has tried to control Saturn has come to grief, anyone who can propitiate Saturn will pass safely through life with very few hindrances in his/her path. Suryadeva was married to Samjna (she was the daughter of Vishvakarma - the architect of the universe). Samjna lived with her husband for many years, during which time she gave birth to the first three of her children: Vaivasvata Manu, Lord Yamaraja (the lord of death) and Yami.

Yama belongs to an early stratum Yama of Indo-Iranian theology. In Vedic tradition Yama was Death considered to have been the first mortal who died and espied the way to the celestial abodes, thus in virtue of precedence he became the ruler of the departed. In some passages, however, he is already regarded as the god of death. Yama's name can be interpreted to mean "twin", and in some myths he is paired with a twin sister Yam ī. Yama is assisted by Chitragupta who is assigned with the task of keeping complete records of actions of human beings on the earth, and upon their death deciding to have them reincarnated as a superior or inferior organism, depending on their actions on the earth (Karma). Yama is also the lord of justice and is sometimes referred to Devanagari यम as Dharma, in reference to his unswerving dedication to maintaining order and adherence to harmony.
