Definition Of: |
Brahma
(in Hinduism, The Creator, The Universal Self); in Buddhism, a divine being of the Form Sphere or the Formless Sphere, Happy and blameless celestial beings, inhabitants of the higher heavens.
A member of the Hindu trinity, Brahma is the creator god; Vishnu is the preserver; and Shiva is the destroyer (of ignorance, et.al. ). Brahma's major work of creating the universe being now essentially finished, he is not much interested in human affairs, and therefore is neither widely nor devoutly worshiped.
