About 1st god of hindu
editBrahma is not the 1st god of hindu the 1st god of hindu is lord shiv 1st come in galaxy is God Shiv and then come lord Vishnu and then come lord Brahma in the galaxy Devil pandya09 (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct in a way! Lord Shiva existed before there was anything and he will exist after there is nothing. He is what we have and what we do not have. He is everything! However, it is vital to remember that together the three of these powerful beings form the Trimurti! There is a bigger power in play behind these three beings, which is Bhagavan! Bhagavan is in everything. So, I think based on the values of Hinduism, there is nothing wrong with stating that he is the first god. 104.230.12.92 (talk) 17:49, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- You are correct about that .
- Just know that the creator of Trimurti is Parmatma . although this js still confusing as some Granths state of Shiv being the first , some state of Vishnu being the first , some state of Parmatma creating Trimurti , some state Vishnu is the creator of multiverse , some state that there is Sada Shiv who resides beyond the boundries of reality , some state that Param Adi Shakti is the Supreme .
- But in reality it is us Humans who arr foolish to find differnces in the forms of Trimurti , AdiShakti or Parmatma. 2402:8100:26B1:8227:0:6:A42F:1201 (talk) 06:22, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Lakshmi
editWhy is Lakshmi listed as the sister of Brahma? Are there any scriptures that support this contentions? 66.177.183.209 (talk) 01:47, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- I have never heard of Devi Lakshmi being Lord Bhrahma's sister either. The only brothers of Devi Lakshmi I have heard of are Jalandhar and Chandra. I have heard once that Lord Vishnu is the spiritual brother of Devi Parvati, Perhaps, this is a similar situation. But this is definitely something that needs to be further researched. 104.230.12.92 (talk) 17:54, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- No, it is mentioned in the Brahmanda Purana. Chandra is the son of Atri and Anusuya and Jalandhara is the son of Shiva and Parvati who was killed by both of them. Also, Shiva and Sarasvati with Vishnu and Parvati are siblings as per the same Brahmanda Purana. 117.231.194.161 (talk) 13:19, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Brahma
editBrahma is a Hindu God, he is the most supreme out of the 3. 86.135.103.122 (talk) 15:20, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
Didn’t he originally have five heads?
editAccording to one legend, Brahma originally had five heads and Lord Shiva cut off one of them for lying. I'm confused that the article doesn't mention this legend. Llajwa (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC) Llajwa (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- No. That legend is mentioned in the Literature and Legends section of this article at the Lingodbhava story. 2409:40F4:3C:F6D2:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 13:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Claim is not verified
editIt says: Grammatically, the nominal stem Brahma- has two distinct forms: the neuter noun bráhman, whose nominative singular form is brahma (ब्रह्म); and the masculine noun brahmán, whose nominative singular form is brahmā (ब्रह्मा). The former, the neuter form, has a generalized and abstract meaning[1] while the latter, the masculine form, is used as the proper name of the deity Brahma.
It cites pg. 79 of India through the Ages. This book is available on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/indiathroughages00mada/mode/2up None of this information is stated on pg. 79 of that book. My own search of the book found no basis in it at all for the information given above. It seems, therefore, to lack verification from its purported source.Mwidunn (talk) 23:08, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for noting this. I also took a look at the source and cited page number and agree, it's not supported. I'll go ahead and remove, if you are able to find another citation to replace it with that would be helpful. EM (talk) 23:59, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
