Glories to Sri Krishna! Glories to Radha Rani! Glories to Uma- Maheshwara! Glories to Srila Veda Vyasa! Glories to Suka deva!

Sukadeva's POV:

Let me describe how Sri Narayana, the self-sufficient, has created the Universe, nature, activities, and various creatures. "

Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead created the whole Universe due to his will. He felt he was imperfect without the creations and His plenary expansions. He with the help of Shakti who is called Yoga Maya created this whole Universe.

Brahma's POV:

I opened my eyes. I could not see anything but just pinkish around me. I just glanced in all the 4 directions and for my help, 3 more heads appeared and I wondered what happened to me. Suddenly the thing on which I was seated opened. I was sitting on the whorl of a lotus flower whose stem was connected to the navel of a very divine person who seems to be in deep sleep! Who am I? What am I supposed to do? Why did I appear? Who is this divine person?

Author's POV:

Thinking so, Brahma deva decided to find the end of the stem of the lotus that is the root. He entered the water through the channel of the stem to reach the navel. He was shocked to find that it has no end. There was no root for the stem.

Brahma deva started meditating and did penance for 100 years to know who he is. When he completed the 100th year of meditation, Brahma opened his eyes and started realizing the truth. He could see the divine form of Sri Narayana clearly with adorned jewelry glittering. The Lord's transcendental body, unlimited in length and breadth, occupied the three planetary systems, upper, middle, and lower.

Pleased by the devotion of Brahma, Sri Vishnu opened his lotus eyes and smiled. Brahma's ignorance and doubts got destroyed just by his divine smile. Brahma could observe the Lord's beautiful appearance clearly. He was wearing a yellow cloth on his waist and was decorated with a belt. The earrings in his ears added light on his lips which formed amazing light to glow from his face which was as brightness like the sun and as cool as the moon.

Brahma joined his bows, bowed his head, and said "Oh Narayana, after 100 years of penance, I realized who you are I. Oh Lord, I surrender unto you who is untouched by proudness and arrogance even after being the cause for everything in this Universe. Oh Lord, By my penance, I understood that I was created for a reason and that was for the creation. Oh Sri Hari, bless me with spiritual powers to create this world."

Sri Hari said, "Dear Brahma, you have been already blessed with powers to create the creations. You are the first sage of this Universe. You will always be my greatest devotee and under my affection and blessings. Your intention to expand this universe will sure happen under your work."

Saying so, Narayana disappeared. Brahma meditate for a while before starting the creation.

Brahma, the reservoir of Vedic education, one who appeared with Vedas in his hands, created the feelings, qualities, and modes of nature: self-deception, the sense of death, anger after frustration, the sense of false ownership, and the illusory bodily conception, or forgetfulness of one's real identity.

Brahma created four great sages named Sanaka, Sananda, Sanatana, and Sanat-kumara. He advised them to help him in the creation and create progeny. But these young ones refused as they want to attain Sri Narayana,

Brahma went to the extent of begging them. But they refused. Brahma became frustrated and his eyes became reddish in anger. As he tried to control his vexation, it started concentrating in the middle of his eyebrows.

Suddenly, a child mixed blue and red was immediately generated from the part. It started crying.
