a hindu creation story
Текст на Статията
- Before this time began, there was no heaven, no earth and no space between. A vast, dark, ocean washed upon the shores of nothingness, agiant cobra floated on the waters.
- Asleep within its endless coils lay the Lord Vishnu. He was watched over by the mighty serpent.
- Vishnu awoke. As the dawn began to break, from Vishnu’s belly button grew a magnificent lotus flower. In the middle of the blossom sat Brahma. He awaited the Lord’s command. Vishnu spoke to him ‘It is time to begin.’ Brahma bowed. Vishnu commanded: ‘Create the World.’ A wind swept up the waters. Vishnu and the serpent vanished.
- Brahma remained in the lotus flower. He lifted up his arms and calmed the wind and the ocean. Then Brahma split the lotus flower into three. He stretched one part into the heavens. He made another part into the earth. With the third part of the flower he created the skies.
- Then he created everything on earth
- To all these creatures, he gave the senses of touch and smell. He gave them power to see, hear and move.
