Episode 03: CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE/WORLD ACCORDING TO HINDUISM

In this video, we explore the rich and complex creation narratives of Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions. Hindu cosmology presents a unique and cyclical view of the universe's creation, destruction, and rebirth, encapsulated in sacred texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Puranas.

Central to Hindu creation mythology is the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality and cosmic spirit. We’ll delve into the famous story of Vishnu, the preserver and protector, who lies in a cosmic ocean, from whose navel springs a lotus that holds Brahma, the creator god. As Brahma awakens, he begins the act of creation, shaping the universe, celestial bodies, and all living beings.

Additionally, we will examine the cyclical nature of time in Hindu thought, emphasizing the concept of Yugas—ages of the universe characterized by different levels of spiritual development and dharma. This cycle of creation and destruction, symbolized by the dance of Shiva, the destroyer, reinforces the belief that creation is a continuous process rather than a singular event.

Join us as we uncover the profound philosophies and rich narratives that shape the Hindu understanding of the universe. Discover how these stories reflect the interconnectedness of all life and the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution that defines the cosmic order in Hinduism.
