Query: Lord
Brahma... Creative attribute of god almighty!
Kaivalya
Jnani:
In Hinduism, Lord Brahma forms part of the Hindus Trinity consisting of
Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Shiva). Brahma is the creative attribute of God Almighty. Brahma is considered
responsible for all creation that exists in the Cosmos. Vishnu is considered the
maintainer.
One who looks after the running of the whole Cosmos! Mahesh (aka Shiva)
is the deadliest of all... the most powerful among all the attributes of God Almighty. Shiva is attributed
the power of ultimate governance... controlling the death of all
bodies.
Lord Shiva is the destroyer... unless things are destroyed... nothing new
will grow! Unless a body dies... no new body can take shape! Practically there has never been any person
titled Brahma, Vishnu or Mahesh. The three attributes of God Almighty are only symbolic. Only to explain the
omnipotent power God Almighty is... the three attributes have been created in Hinduism.
Contrary to the concepts in Hinduism... the Trinity concept of
Christianity believes in the existence of God Almighty as Father, Jesus Christ as son of God and the holy
spirit... in essence the holy spirit is present in every living being as ones soul atman
within.
The Christian Trinity considers Jesus Christ as the only son of God.
Contrary to this Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism believed that every human being had the right to
become a Mahavira, a Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed! Jainism came about 1000 years after
the advent of Lord Krishna and Christianity followed 500 years further down.
Jainism does not believe in the concept of God... the Jaina doctrines
emphasize the fact that entire Cosmos exists from times immemorial... i.e. it does not have a beginning! This
surmise in Jainism is not wrong if we realize that the Cosmos does not seem to have a boundary. What
beyond?
Hinduism believes that God Almighty is the cluster of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at a given point of
time. By this definition of God almighty... the soul atman within every human being is but a minuscule form of God
Almighty.
