Brahma
Brahma, Vishnu og Shiva hindúaþrenningarinnar samhliða vestrænni hugmynd um föður, son og Heilagan anda – hinn eilífa skapara, varðveitanda og tortímanda. Brahma felur í sér hina guðlegu löngun sem var innblástur í sköpun heimsins. Vishnu miðlar miskunn og dyggð til að viðhalda heiminum. Shiva táknar hinn heilaga eld sem eyðir illsku.
Litið er á Brahma, sem föðurmyndina og fyrstu persónu þrenningarinnar, sem hina gríðarlegu veru – skapara, æðsta valdhafa, löggjafa, viðhaldsaðila og uppspretta allrar þekkingar. Brahma er guðlegt almætti holdgert. Guðdómleg viðbót hans, eða shakti, er Sarasvati, virk meginregla Brahma. Þessir guðlegu elskendur eru dæmi um karllæga og kvenlega útfærslu kosmíska kraftsins.
Maha Chohan talar um alheimsnærveru Brahma með okkur:
Ástvinir, skilið leyndardóminn um Brahma í hjarta ykkar, hins mikla löggjafa, hina lifandi meginreglu föðurins, manneskjuna í mynd þess sem hefur hið mikla Guðsvald yfir fjórum fjórum tilverunnar. Sá faðir sem þú kallar Brahma er svo sannarlega blái kraftstrókurinn í hjarta þínu. Og þess vegna, þegar þið segið „Ó Drottinn Brahma, komdu fram,“ ástvinir, Drottinn Brahma alheimsins mun koma fram innan úr hjarta þínu, innan úr hjarta Helios og Vesta, Alfa til Omega, og sérhver sonar og dætur Guðs bæði stiginn upp og óstiginn. Skildu þá merkingu sjálfrar persónu Guðs....
Understand, O blessed hearts, that that Brahma unto whom you give your call and your devotion is both an energy, a consciousness, a spirit and the living, dancing, moving image of the Hindu deity. So when you say “Brahma,” the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood will answer your call in the full power of cosmic omnipotence. Do not consider that the word I use, “cosmic omnipotence,” is merely a word that you cannot comprehend. But begin to extend your flame, the flame within your heart, out, out, out into dimensions of magnitude and begin to sense the great sphere of God’s being within you extending, contacting the earth, the air, scraping as it were the very sky or head and beyond and beyond.[1]
Beloved Brahma has spoken of his desire to be with us:
O beloved of the Creator, I AM come for one purpose this day. For I AM the lowering of myself, the Great God Self, into levels of being one by one, into the waiting chalices of millions who look to the dawn of their union with Brahma.
I come, then, to anchor by Word, by vibration of my spoken Word (resonating in this plane through the messenger) my heralding to many that I AM available unto you even as you have made yourselves available unto me.
I descend to the levels of purification to which you have attained, to the levels of love—profound and dignified love, love that is the immersing of being in the totality of God.
Thus, throughout the earth I AM everywhere, known in form yet formless. I descend, then, for I come for the harvest of souls of light and I may now occupy heart chalices upraised until the fullness of that light is manifest....
So, my little ones, so, my precious souls, so, my sons and daughters, come into the arms of Brahma and know me as the figure of one who creates and re-creates and re-creates so that the whole of creation is in that process of being born again and reborn and reborn until the fullness of being is discovered—and the fullness of purpose of a blade of grass, of the tiniest elemental, of an angel, of a star is made known.[2]
