According to the Puranas, Brahma is a self-born from a lotus flower which grew from the navel of Vishnu at the beginning of the universe.Hence is called, Nabhija (born from the navel). Another legend says that Brahma was born in water. In this he deposited a seed that later became the golden egg,from which Brahma was born, as Hiranyagarbha.

Lord Brahma is one of the major gods of Hinduism from about 500 bce to 500 ce. Associated with the Vedic creator god Prajapati, whose identity he assumed, Brahma was born from a golden egg and created the earth and all things on it.

The remaining materials of this golden egg expanded into the Brahm-anda or Universe.Brahma is also called Kanja (born in water). Brahma is said also to be the son of the Supreme Being, Brahman and the female energy known as Prakrti or Maya.

In order to help him create the universe, Brahma gave birth to the 11 forefathers of the human race called ‘Prajapatis’ and the seven great sages or the ‘Saptarishi’. These children or mind-sons of Brahma, who were born out of his mind rather than body, are called the ‘Manasputras’.

Unlike most of the Hindu Gods,Brahma is not depicted with weapons. Instead, he holds prayer beads, a water vase, and a book, symbolizing the Vedas  It is beleieved that Brahmas four mouths constantly recite the four Vedas. Brahma's fourth hand is sometimes shown holding a lotus blossom, and sometimes shown holding a staff.

He sits on a lotus in the lotus pose and moves around on a white swan. Brahma is often depicted as having long white beard.

The oldest and the holiest of Hindu scriptures,The Vedas are attributed to Brahma, and thus Brahma is regarded as the father of dharma.

Brahma is beleived to be the creator of the universe.Brahma was all alone before the cosmos existed.Later on, he felt inadequate and desired a company.So,he got splited and created the goddess Shatarupa.


                                                                                 

Shatarupa turned into different lives every time,whenever Brahma got to her. She turned into a cow, a mare, a goose and a doe. Lord Brahma persues by taking the form of the corresponding male forms like- a bull, a horse, a gander, a buck. Due to this all creatures of the cosmos came into being from the smallest insect to the largest mammal,

God Brahma sprouted five heads, so that he could watch Shatarupa continuously. To restrain Brahma's lust,wrenched off one of Brahma's five heads. This helped Brahma come to his senses, and he took Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, as his consort. With her power, he regained control on his mind.

Brahma presides over 'Brahmaloka,' a universe that contains all the splendors of the earth and all other worlds. In Hindu cosmology the universe exists for a single day called the ‘Brahmakalpa’. This day is equivalent to four billion earth years, at the end of which the whole universe gets dissolved.

This process is called ‘pralaya’, which repeats for such 100 years, a period that represents Brahma's lifespan. After Brahma's "death", it is necessary that another 100 of his years pass until he is reborn and the whole creation begins anew.
