Reading Notes: 7 Secrets of The Hindu Calendar: Bramha's Secret - Part F



Bramha - The Flawed Creator

Despite being the creator of the world, Bramha is mentioned only in passing through much of the mythology that we have read so far. The desire to worship a creator has roots in the Christian viewpoint. However, there is a different story in Hinduism. The poets of the Vedas determined that the reason for creating the world was for him to understand himself. However, Bramha became obsessed with the world, mimicking it's material forms. He continued to desperately chase this material world, rather than using it to understand himself. Thus, the reason Bramha is not worshiped is because he forgot his reason for creating the world.

It is a weird to call a Rubik's Cube a twisty puzzle, but that is what it is. I say this because there is a large amount of

Week 7 Story: The Undying Battle

Author's Notes This story focuses on the events that happened during the conflict of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The main battles can be seen in this story 1 . I found that the fighting in this war was primarily focused around where the generals were fighting, and less so about the actual infantry on the ground. One particular sentence inspired me to write this story, "Terrible were the omens, for headless men rose up and fought against one another". The concept of the dead fighting each other while a horrific war was happening was something that I wanted to elaborate on further. The Undying Battle An ancient prophecy of old once spoke of the days to come, of a great horror and darkness that would befall upon the world. The prophecy read:   A day will come when the bonds of blood will break.   Mothers' sons locked in celestial conflict.   Endless darkness will fall upon the sky,   and a disease will inflict those already gone...
