Brahma (The God of Creation)

Brahma is self-born, According to Hindu legend the birth of Brahma is described as, a seed was deposited in water, later that seed became the golden egg. From the golden egg, Brahma, the creator was born. The remaining materials of this golden egg expanded into the Brahm-anda (The Universe).

According to the standard theory, our universe came into existence as "Singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity"? to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes". Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density. These zones of infinite density are called Singularities. Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitely small, hot, dense, something - a singularity. We don't know, Where did it come from and Why did it appear?

The Big Bang, it was not an explosion; it was (and continues to be) an expansion. The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know. We don't know where it came from, why it's here, or even where it is. All we really know is that we are inside of it and at one time it didn't exist.
