Handicrafts

Handicrafts are devices or works of art that are made completely by hand or by the use of relatively simple tools. Such goods are usually made in the traditional way of manufacturing goods. Therefore, the knowledge of the art of craft is usually passed down from one generation to another. The items made using these traditional methods of manufacturing are usually produced in smaller quantities and they often represent the culture or religious beliefs of the community that makes them. The goods are also handmade from natural materials that are found in the environment of the particular economy.

Lord Brahma: The Creator of The Universe

Posted by Art Of Legend India [dot] Com On 3:02 AM 0 comments

Lord Brahma is the creator of the universe and the first lord in the Hindu Trinity, other are lord Shiva and Vishnu. He is the creator of life on the earth, who created eleven 'Prajapatis' for fathering the human race. Lord Brahma himself is believed to have taken birth from the navel of lord Vishnu. The Vedas are attributed to Brahma, and thus he is regarded as the father of dharma. The Vedas are the oldest and the holiest of Hindu scriptures. Lord Brahma is said also to be the son of the Supreme Being, Brahman and the female energy known as Prakrti or Maya. His Vahan (vehicle) is the white swan, which is known for its unique faculty of separating pure milk from a mixture of milk and water. Brahma is generally depicted as red in color, four armed and bearing four heads seated on the Lotus flower. The four faces of Brahma represent the four Vedas. Brahma's abode is known as Brahmalok, which is said to contain all the splendors of earth and of all the heaven

Lord Brahma is shown with four heads facing all four directions symbolizing that he has created the entire

Universe. The fact that, after each kalpa (or age), he meditates and recreates the Universe we live in is symbolized by the Vedas he holds in his hand which guide him, and the kamandala or water pot which is used in the ritual of prayer prior to tapasya (meditation and penance), after which he creates the Universe. He sits on a lotus which is a symbol of purity, as the lotus usually grows in muddy waters but is untouched by the dirt and mire from which it emerges. So also the true Yogi (one who practises Yoga and is an evolved being), should be unaffected by the world around him. To emphasise the closeness of Creation and Preservation, Brahma is shown emerging from the navel of Vishnu, the Preserver.All paintings are courtesy of Art of Legend India.

At the beginning of the process of creation, Brahma created eleven Prajapatis who are believed to be the fathers of the human race. The Manusmriti enumerates them as Marichi, Atri, Angirasa, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Vasishtha, Prachetas or Daksha, Bhrigu, and Narada[citation needed]. He is also said to have created the seven great sages or the Saptarishi to help him create the universe. However since all these sons of his were born out of his mind rather than body, they are called Manas Putras or mind-sons or spirits.

Within Vedic and Puranic scripture Brahma is described as only occasionally interfering in the affairs of the other devas (gods), and even more rarely in mortal affairs. He did force Soma to give Tara back to her husband, Brihaspati. He is considered the father of Dharma and Atri.All paintings are courtesy of Art of Legend India
