Bunch Of Hindu Gods Part 1, or simply
Brahma
It is one of the Hindu gods, a member of Trimurti (Hindu Trinity) (the others are Vishnu and Shiva). His first functions is to be the God of Creation. He is usually confused with the Supreme Cosmic Spirit of Hindu philosophy (named Brahman), but the words are akin to each other. His wife is named Saraswati, the goddess of learning.
Brahma is traditionally depicted with four heads and four faces and four arms. With each head he continually recites one of the four Vedas (will be looked at in one of the nearest posts). He is depicted with a bird. None of his arms has weapon (like many other Hindu gods). One of his hands is shown holding a scepter in the form of a spoon, which is associated with the pouring of holy ghee or oil into a sacrificial pyre - indicating the fact that Brahma is the lord o
f sacrifices. Another of his hands holds a water-pot (sometimes depicted as a coconut shell containing water). The significance of the 
water is that it is the initial, all-encompassing ether in which the first element of creation evolved. Brahma also holds a string of rosary beads that he uses to keep track of the Universe's time. He also is shown holding the Vedas, and sometimes, a lotus flower.
The Great Cycle of Brahma
Brahma enters cycles of night, day, and years just as all living
things do. The Great Cycle of Brahma controls the birth, life, and death of the universe. 4,320,000,000 years is the length of a Brahman day. A Brahman night is the same length, making the whole day/night cycle 8,640,000,000 years long. 360 day/night cycles make "One Year of Brahma" (3,110,400,000,000 years) . After 100 Brahman years (311,040,000,000,000 years) the cycle of creation is over, Shiva uses his destructive influence and the universe is dissolved. But after "One Year of Brahma" The god is recomposed and begins to dream the great lotus dream of the universe.
Brahma's vehicle is a divine Swan. It can separate mixed milk and water, which shows that justice should be dispensed to all creatures, however mixed it might be in a situation. Also, this virtue indicates that one should learn to separate the goo
d from the evil and then accep
t that which is valuable and discard that which is worthless or evil.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
I just wanted to share a website that I came across that actually proves that God exists through date patterns. The date patterns actually correlate to scriptures all throughout the Bible. It's absolutely amazing to see how historical events and the date they occurred can be matched to scriptures that speak of specific detail of the occurrence.
The website is www.provesgod.org!
I have actually used this website as a tool to show people that there is indeed a spiritual record that can be proven!
Nice job, but there is a lot more to Brahma which needs to be covered.
Still, I enjoyed your work!
