Story
Brahma Ji has created the universe. He is also called the lord of twenty-one universes. Three qualities have been described in Sanatan scriptures. During the Geeta Updesh, Lord Krishna has also explained the three qualities to his supreme disciple Arjun in detail. These three qualities are Sat, Raj and Tam. Brahma Ji is endowed with Rajo Guna.
Brahma's sons are called Manasputras. Brahma was given the responsibility of creation of the universe. When he created the universe, there was not only darkness but also silence all around. It was as if nature was mourning. The three gods were not happy to see this. At that time, they invoked Adishakti to make nature colorful.
At that time, Maa Sharada, the goddess of knowledge, appeared. Music rang out in all the three worlds of Maa Sharada. This filled nature with new colors. Nature became musical. Two days after this, the Sun God appeared to remove darkness from the universe. In simple words, the universe was created in the spring season. The goddess of knowledge and the Sun God were born in this season. Therefore, the spring season has a special significance in Sanatan Dharma.
