Sanātana Dharma - The Eternal Way
Explore the vast cosmos of Hindu mythology, from the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) to the countless devas and devis. Journey through the cycles of creation and destruction, the paths to moksha (liberation), and the sacred wisdom of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita.
🔱 The Trimurti - Divine Trinity
The Trimurti represents the three fundamental forces of the universe: creation, preservation, and destruction. These three aspects work in eternal harmony to maintain the cosmic order (dharma) through endless cycles of manifestation.
🪷 Brahma - The Creator
The divine architect who creates the universe at the beginning of each cosmic cycle. Born from the golden egg (Hiranyagarbha), Brahma brings forth all worlds, beings, and the sacred knowledge of the Vedas.
🦚 Vishnu - The Preserver
The sustainer of dharma who descends to earth in various avatars (incarnations) whenever cosmic balance is threatened. His ten primary avatars include Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and the future Kalki.
🔱 Shiva - The Destroyer/Transformer
The lord of transformation who dissolves the universe at the end of each cosmic cycle, clearing the way for new creation. The cosmic dancer (Nataraja) who maintains the rhythm of existence through destruction and rebirth.
🌌 Cosmology & Creation
🌀 The Cycle of Creation
The universe undergoes infinite cycles of creation, preservation, and dissolution. Each cycle (kalpa) lasts 4.32 billion years, encompassing four yugas (ages) that progressively decline from golden perfection to chaos before renewal.
🔄 Samsara & Moksha
The eternal cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara) driven by karma. Through righteous living and spiritual practice, one can achieve moksha - liberation from the cycle and union with the divine.
