Creation according to Hindu Religion

There are a variety of universe creation story is told in the mythological and vary in Puranic scriptures. According to the book of the Vedas, the basic elements of this universe is Aditi which means the absence or void. Everything that there is meaning attached Diti. Before the existence of the universe, there is only Brahman, something that is hard to describe. Brahman is beyond life and death, not bound by time, eternal, motionless, they're everywhere, filling all things.
According to Hindu belief, the universe formed and evolved gradually. Brahman created the universe with a tapa. With tapas, the heat radiating Brahman. Once created, merged into the Brahman creations. According to the Puranas the book, at the beginning of the process of creation, formed Brahmanda. At the beginning of the creation process and also formed Purusa Prakerti. Both these forces met so that the universe is created. This phase occurs gradually, not all at once. At first that appears is the Citta (mind), which was already affected by TRIGUNA, namely Sattwam, Rajas and Tamas. The next stage is the formation Triantahkarana, which consists of Buddhi (instinct); Manah (mind); Ahamkara (sense of self). Furthermore, munculah Pancabuddhindria and Pancakarmendria, also called Dasendria (ten senses).

After the emergence Pancabuddhindria and Pancakarmendria, then the ten senses are evolved into Pancatanmatra, namely the five elements of the universe seeds very smooth, not size. Pancatanmatra a seed only. Pancatanmatra evolved into the elements of the real material object. The elements are named Pancamahabhuta, or the Five Elements of Nature Substance. The five elements are: Akasa (ether); Bayu (substance gas, air); Teja (plasma, fire, heat); apah (liquid); Earth (solids, soil, metal).
Pancamahabhuta shaped Paramānu, or seed that is more subtle than the atom. At the time of creation, moving and starting Pancamahabhuta up the universe and fill the void. Each of the planets and heavenly bodies are composed of five elements, but sometimes there is one element that dominates. Sari-sari Pancamahabhuta be Sadrasa, six kinds of sense. These elements are mixed with Citta, Buddhi, Ahamkara, Dasendria, Pancatanmatra and Pancamahabhuta. Of mixing, the seeds timbulah living creatures, namely Swanita and Sukla. The second meeting of the seeds causes living things.
Life begins from the most subtle to the most violent. Before man was created, first terlabih in the form of Brahman as Brahma, created the Gandharva, pisaca, supernatural beings, and so on. After it is created plants and animals. Humans are created after the emergence of plants and animals on earth. Because it has elements that make up the universe, humanity is called Bhuwana Alit, while the universe is called the Great Bhuwana.
According to Hindu belief, the first man was Swayambu Manu. This name is not the name of a person, but the species name. Manu Swayambu literally means "thinking beings who made himself".
