What are Hindu god Brahma's powers and responsibilities?

Answer 1

In Hindu mythology, Brahma is the god of creation of the universe and all the living beings in it.

According to Brahmajnana, Brahma is the god of creativity. All of his powers and responsibilities are based on this fact.

POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BRAHMA

1. Brahma symbolizes manual force, which is a small, transient and controllable force. Thus, Brahma is the best god for experiments. Brahma, actually, is the creator of a new life after our old life is devastated completely.

2. Brahma is the god of change. He is the antagonist of Brahman, the Hindu supreme god who opposes change of any kind. The two, together make life flexible.

3. Brahma converts knowledge into data. Without this conversion, it wouldn't be possible to teach a skill to others.

4. Being the god of creativity, Brahma shows us all the options available to us. Thus, he is the god of improvement.

5. Used alone, Brahma can prevent an undesirable idea from becoming an action. He would just keep showing alternative options but never allow action.

6. It is Brahma who puts an end to undesirable, compulsive activities. He does it by making them weak, transient and controllable.

7. Since Brahma converts knowledge into data, he is the means to Brahmajnana.
