As the
deity whose cosmic power creates the world, BRAHMA is also considered to be
the protector of the world. He is the font of wisdom and knowledge and being an abstract
principle, is rarely ever seen or represented in any temple or place of worship.
When he is portrayed in mythology, his vehicle is a goose and he is often depicted wearing
white. In his hands he carries the Vedic texts and a jug of water, the element which is
associated with peace and contemplative silence. His consort is the calm, white clad
Saraswati, goddess of learning and knowledge.
According to ancient Hindu belief Bramha was himself created from the vibrations of the
cosmic sound Om which lies at the sacred heart of all being and unites creation in its all
encompassing and eternal reverberation.
