The origin of these creation myths come from one early source and are different only because time and local cultural circumstances have embellished or altered them. Details in the creation myths vary, but either the basic outline is similar, or they at least share common elements. Hinduism possesses many different creation myths and creator personalities but the one being discussed explains one of the major Hindu beliefs; reincarnation. The belief in reincarnation, in the cycle of life, strongly influences the lifestyle of many Hindus.
In Hindu thought, this is not the first world, nor is it the first universe. Hinduism believes that there are times when the universe takes form and times when it dissolves back into nothing. Before time began there was no heaven, no earth and no space between. This universe existed in the shape of darkness, unattainable by reasoning, unknowable, wholly immersed, as it were in deep sleep. And all the times in-between are known as the days and nights of Brahma, who is the Hindu god of creation.
The creation story begins with the word “OM”, it signifies the God Almighty and is also defined as “that which hath no beginning nor end.” From the depths a humming sound began to tremble, “OM”; it is also described as the primal sound out of which the universe came forth. The Hindu Triad (the three highest gods) is ordinarily referred to Brahma as the “Creator”, Vishnu as the “Preserver,” and Shiva as the “Destroyer”. The universes are made by Brahma the Creator, maintained by Vishnu the Preserver and Destroyed by Shiva. Since the universes must be destroyed before they can be recreated, Shiva is also called the Destroyer and Re-creator.
The Hindus of the Hindu religion and even the Christian and Zoroastrian religions also describe the cosmic reality created by God as a series of particles, or ‘particles’, that form the entire universe. Some of the myths of Buddhism (Davidaism, Hinduism) and Sikhism (Kali/Kharata) say that the universe is made by the Buddha and by Vishnu. Hindu scriptures say that some of the gods are named by these particles and the others by themselves with a Sanskrit Name. Most of the Hindu myths claim that the universe appears as a continuous, immutable, universal force which does not move, or change, according to any law of nature. Such claims have been popularized by various religions. Buddhist mythology calls the world of light, shadow, time, energy, fire, light, water, lightning, heat, and energy, as a series of particles created by the Buddha under the direction of his “Aa.” Most of the myths surrounding the Universe of Light and Time are fictional entities, which are not meant to be explained by the science, nor can they be described as true events in the real world of history. Indeed, they will be used, rather than as real life, as a weapon against Satan. In the history of India Buddhism tells us that many things have changed, including the creation of the Buddha; it is said that the Buddhadhana (the Divine name of the Buddha) changed to the name of Aali Veda during the time of Indra; Buddhism is the only religion with a history of births that no modern science can make out of the “history” of Hinduism. In India, the birth of the Buddha is depicted as as having occurred when the four great masters of Hinduism were simultaneously teaching the people of India: Venerable Vipata (Venerable), Dhamma (Dhamma), Bodhisattva (Buddha), and Sakti (Sakti) Mahayana. This fact is illustrated in the legends of the Tathagata Sutta and of the Buddha’s birth as it pertains to modern India. Buddhists consider themselves to have undergone the birth of the Buddha under the direction of the Great Bodhisattva, Dhamma. Similarly, the teachings of the Mahatma were also changed to fit the theme of the Buddha’s birth in the story of Indra. The Buddha was born with the power of this power. The Bhagavad Gita says, “A bodhisattva came to us from a higher being who revealed himself to
