The seven Swargas are: Bhuvas, Swas ( governed by Indra ), Tharus, Thaarus, Savithaa, Prapithaa, Maha ( governed by Brahma ).

At this point, Brahma, at the head of the Devas led by Indra, names Kaushika a brahmarishi, and names him Vishvamitra, or Friend of All for his unlimited compassion.

Indra along with Shiva and Brahma went to seek the aid of Vishnu.

The gods Brahma and Indra, with their mystic regalia and mounts, are shown to the right of Shiva ; Vishnu riding his mount Garuda, is shown to the left of Parvati.

Other figures discerned from a study of the broken images are: Vishnu riding Garuda on a plantain leaf ; the Sun-god Surya riding a fully saddled horse ( head missing ); a saint with a rosary ; two female figures in the sky draped up to their thighs ; a faceless figure of the moon with a water container ; three identical figures of a male flanked by two females ; the skeleton of a sage ; Brahma ( without one arm ) riding a swan ; and Indra without his mount ( elephant missing ).

At this juncture, Brahma intervened and asked him to free Indra.

It was Brahma who gave him the name Indrajit (" the conqueror of Indra ").

According to Venerable Tripitaka Master Bhikshu Shramana Hsuan Hua's " Shurangama Mantra Commentary " ( Buddhist Text Translation Society of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, 1981, Volume 1 ), the Shurangama Mantra mystically and literally includes all of the Buddha Dharma in its entirety, and its focus is on the Five Dhyana Buddhas ( Vairochana, Amitabha ), Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, and Amoghasiddhi, with stress on Vairochana and Ashobhya Buddhas ) and their retinues of Dharmapalas and wrathful deities in male and female forms, such as Vajrapani, wrathful Manjushri, Mahakala, Tara, Pandaravasini, Prakruti, Uchushma Fire Head Vajra, Brahma, Indra, Shiva as Rudra, Raudri-Umapati form of Vajrayogini, Narayana, Ganapati, various Dhakinis, Naga kings, Yaksha kings, Rakshasha kings, and many other Dharma Protectors of the Buddhist Pantheon and Vedic pantheon.

The two Hindu gods are Brahma and Indra.

The " Kanishka casket ", dated to 127 | 127 CE, with the Gautama Buddha | Buddha surrounded by Brahma and Indra, and Kanishka standing at the center of the lower part, British Museum.

The lid of the casket shows the Buddha on lotus pedestal, and worshipped by Brahma and Indra.

For example, already while in India, it had absorbed Hindu divinities like Brahma ( Bonten in Japanese ) and Indra ( Taishakuten ).

Indra, Shiva, and Brahma are present in the Phra Ram Xadôk.

The secret was revealed to Lakshmana by the elemental God of Wind, Vayu at the behest of Lord Indra, that an otherwise invincible armour of Lord Brahma was granted to Atikaya, that could only be pierced by a Brahmastra.

Since the casket already displays quite a sophisticated iconography ( Brahma and Indra as attendants, Bodhisattvas ) in an advanced style, it would suggest much earlier representations of the Buddha were already current by that time, going back to the rule of the Indo-Greeks, as advocated by Alfred A. Foucher and others.

Brahma is also a servant of Vishnu, Supreme Godhead ( Bhagavan ).

But, it is explicitly stated in Buddhist sutras that the worship of an Ishvara ( an ancient South Asian term for a creator god, most likely not referring to the Abrahamic God who may not have been known in South Asia during the Buddha's lifetime, but given the context meaning either Shiva, Kali or Brahma ) is unnecessary to the attainment of Nirvana, as the Buddha believed worshipers are still trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth ( Samsara ).

The syllable consists of three phonemes, a ( Vaishvanara ), u ( Hiranyagarbha ), and m ( Ishvara ), which symbolize the beginning, duration, and dissolution of the universe and the associated gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, respectively.

These differing views are explicitly noted in a series of passes in the Brahma Sutras ( III. 2. 38-40 ), an important text in Vedanta, the major school of Hinduism, which endorses the concept of Ishvara i. e., a personal supreme God, as the source of fruits of karma, but note opposing views in order to refute them.

For example, Swami Sivananda's commentary on verse III. 2. 38 from the Brahma Sutras refers to the role of Ishvara ( the Lord ) as the dispenser of the fruits of karma.

Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi Śastra ), Xuanzang refutes the Indian philosophical doctrine of a " Great Lord " ( Ishvara ) or a Great Brahma, a self-existent and omnipotent creator deity who is ruler of all existence.

** Vishvakarman in Vedic mythology, responsible for the creation of the universe ( while in later Puranic period, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are for creation, maintenance and destruction, respectively )

Brahma works with the materials provided by Vishnu to actually create what are believed to be planets in Puranic terminology, and he supervises the population of them.

Buddha even tells how the views concerning ' creator gods ' originate in the world-through junior Brahma-gods ( with a more limited life-span ) who, on their passing away, get reborn as a human, and through practicing meditation are able to remember their previous life as a junior god to a Brahma god.

"“ I am the Great Brahma, the Supreme, the Mighty, the All-seeing, the Ruler, the Lord of all, the Controller, the Creator, the Chief of all, appointing to each his place, the Ancient of days, the Father of all that are and are to be .”.

Sister Shivani of ' Awakening with Brahma Kumaris ' ( www. bkwsu. com ) explains that anger created by a negative emotion ( irritation, frustration, insult, hatred or rage ) could be forbidden by gradually forming a belief system that you are a peaceful soul and that nothing can disturb your peace until you consent.

Many are dedicated to Shiva and Parvati, Vishnu and Lakshmi and Brahma and Saraswati

Whatever forms are born, O Arjuna, in any womb whatsoever, the great Brahma ( Nature ) is their womb and I am the seed-giving father.

bhu, bhuvas, svar, mahas, janas, tapas, and satya ( the world that is ruled by Brahma ); and the lower ones ( the " seven underworlds " or paatalas ) are atala, vitala, sutala, rasaataala, talatala, mahaatala, paatala.

Brahma is considered the ruler of the highest of the heavens ( the world called Sathya ), so in one sense, Brahma is not beyond the fourteen worlds as Shiva and Vishnu are.

These two along with Brahma are considered the Trimurti — the three aspects of the universal supreme God.

They are called the creatures of Prajapati, of Brahma, of Kasyapa, of the Munis, of Arishta, or of Vāc.

Thus spoke Brahma to him “ O Angirasa, you are my third “ manasa putra ” ( the one born out of divine intellect ).

For example: Purusavatara is the first avatara ; Gunavataras are represented by the Trimurti ( Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva ) who each preside over one of the gunas ( rajas, sattva, and tamas ); Lilavataras are the well-known ones, and include Avesavataras ( beings into whom part of God Himself has entered ) and saktyamsavesa ( into whom only parts of His power enter ); Kalpa -, Manvantara -, and Yuga-avataras descend during different cosmic ages.

He had many sons, including Datta, Durvasa and Soma who are the incarnations of the Divine Trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra respectively.

To this day, there are very few temples devoted to Lord Brahma ( the notable exception being the Brahma Temple at Pushkar ).

There are two kinds of Brahmaloka-first are Vaikunthaloka ( Brahmalokaḥ — the spiritual planets )-eternal planets, and second being the Brahmaloka, the abode of Brahma, also called Satyaloka.

The most powerful deities, such as Yama, Brahma, Shiva, and Agni, are now dead or sworn enemies of Heaven.

While Brahma / Kali is exultant, Ganesha realizes that the days of Heaven are numbered, and he must look out for himself.
