Hindu Creation Stories



Most religions have a single creation story. Hinduism has many. This is because for Hindus there is no single creation, but periodic cycles of creation. The universe we live in is one of innumerable universes.

  1. I want to make my own religion where the universe was created with the Big Bang and the Milky Way was made by a giant god named Jerry who just spilled his Way milk while trying to pour his cosmic cereal and decided to call the spill the Milky Way and everything just happened on from there and Jerry just flies around the universe doing what ever the hell he wants. And that’s the religion I would make if I wasn’t so interested in astronomy and science.

  2. I don't know if it was said before but this all represents MYTHOLOGY. Most people think ONLY on physical reality and forget the spiritual which is at least 99.9999% of reality. So in fact we know so little. Depending on the reader level of enlightenment/spirituality/consciousness only then one knows to draw the true deep meaning. Example the snake/reptilian etc is the creative consciousness existing in the spiritual realm. Even though its the negative polarity. Vishnu represents the positive polarity having control of, or even in constant coexistence with the snake. Similar to ying yang, which is the fundamental building blocks of this so called material reality but illusory/holographic reality at the SAME time. Together with positive and negative polarities INITIAL PHYSICAL/ILLUSORY creation came into being. Off course there are countless creations that follows AS CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE UNIVERSE EXPANDS proportionally.They exist in the sea because this is quantum soup/physical creation as 'energy or some form' .We do not exactly know because humans DNA do not allow thought beyond 2 dimensions. Hence we are sort of difficult comprehending of higher realms, in the same way we cant visualize a tesseract. My 2 cents. Peace.

  3. I am hindu and i can tell you this vedio is a result of utter ignorance and lack of knowledge this vedio didn't even talks about the concept of brahman, aatman, maya the key concepts of sanatan dharma.

  4. Wow successfully stereotyped Indians as crazy believers. This is the land of seekers, please understand the basic metaphors BIG BULLSHIT CHANNEL.. BBC…

  5. I can understand the curiosity of westerners to make hell out of everything…

    Trinity gods (energy) created the universe
    1. Brahma the creator +ve
    2. Vishnu the preserver = neutral
    3. Shiva the destroyer -ve

    Science say the same
    1. Proton +ve
    2. Neutron = neutral
    3. Electron -ve

    So Hindus talk about personification of those energies
    But west can't be matured enough to understand hinduism.
    All they need
    1 god
    1 book
    That's it

  6. Ahhh….. what was that …?
    U have no idea about our texts don't u …..
    With my little knowlege about hindu stories i understand this is a stupid cooked up story with very less truth….
    Man ….just see the 10 avatar's of vishnu (dashavatar)
    Marine forms- malsya
    Amphibian- koormam
    Reptile-varaaham
    Half man -nara simha
    Shortman-vamanan
    Man who livd in forest-parashuram
    Civilisedman-ram,krishna
    Modern man – kalkki….
    There has to be a great dedication towards all those great books with all it's repect to understand all these hidden ideas and science from it….which u guys nevrr show and try to slave it over ur religion and which never occured and will never occur ..
    Hindu religion was made by not hindus but others that is the great speciality of hindus ….. our principles were love and dharma and karma,is love and dharma and karma, and will be love dharma and karma
    If hindus were to be destroyed it had to be destroyed till now…bcz it is the oldest of all religion…
    And that means it had overcome all the crises against it and stand 3rd in all religion population even hindus are more concentrated in india hich is only 7th largest country in the world…..
    That means people accept hinduism and it's vision
    Hope u understand my friend

  7. Hinduism is not a religion its not a religion of the earth the God finds in hinduism are not gods of whole world..real God is not only God of a country .. A real God is only that one which God does his maricle in every country and every country knows him and worships him thats real God becouse real God works in every place and tryes to turn diners in his side in light.. And real God is the one who had promised to people of earth that for whatever you pray to me I will give you and he is giving since today . and real God loves us forgives us take cares of us does maricles in our life ….. ?love you my LORD my SAVIOR LORD there is none like you..
