Originally Vyasa told this Puranam to Suka
maharshi. Lomaharshana Maharshi went to Nymisaranyam as Satra yagnam is taking
place near Saraswathi river. Yagnam and Sandhya Vandanam (to ensure surya
gamanam by removing obstacles of demons) both are for Loka Kalyanam (public
prosperity). Vedam srvanam, Go dust, Homa dhumam
(Listening to Vedas, Cow dust, Yagna sacred ash)– these three are
very sacred and if we touch, get punya and difficult to get this punya. Nymisaranyam
is having full of trees, all caste people are there following their customs,
Having all resources. Deekshithas greeted Lomaharshi. They asked him to talk
about creation. Then he decided to tell them about Brahma Puranam. Prayed to Vishnu,
Vyasa and started.
Aadi Sarga
·
Whole creation is originally filled with water.
Madhu, Kytabhas formed from Vishnu. They wanted to fight with Brahma. He tried
to wake-up Lord Vishnu, but He was in deep sleep. Then He prayed Jagan Matha. Vishnu
woke-up, defeated both Madhu-Kytabhas. Brahma first created Appulu i.e., Nara
i.e., water i.e., Narayana. In that he left Srishti samkalpam (sperm). That
became egg. In that Brahma himself created. Tatvam – Divam and Bhuvam – In
middle created Aaksam – 10 directions – Time, Manassu, Vaak (Speech), Kama, Krodha,
Rati – From Rosham Rudra - Saptha Brahmas i.e., Mareechi, Atri, Angirasa,
Pulasthya, Pulaha, Krathuvu, Vasishta (7) – Mansa Putras (4) – Lightening,
Thunders, clouds – Rainbows, Birds – Vedas, Bhuthas etc., born.
·
Brahma made himself two halves – One half male,
another half female. Created Manuvus. There are
7 Manuvus for each Manmantaram as head. In each Saptahrshis change. 1.
Swambhuva 2. Swarojashasa 3. Uthama 4. Thamasa 5. Raivatha 6. Chaakshusava 7.
Vyvasvatha – Now Saptharshis 1. Athri 2. Vasishta 3. Kasyapa 4. Gauthama 5.
Bharadwaja 6. Viswamitra 7. Agiras. These Saptharshis vary for each
Manvanthara.

·
Kasyapa with Daksha sutha, Adithi, had son, Vivaswantha
(Sun). His son only Vyvasvantha. Sun married to Sangna. Their Children are –
Sradha Manuvu, Yamuna and Yama (Twins). Unable to bear heat – Sangna i.e., Sowmya (D/O
Thwashta prajapathi) created Chaya, exact replica of her. She left telling her
to take care of children and husband, also not to tell her husband. Sowmya went
to father’s place. But he advised her to go back to husband place. Unable to go
back Sangna went to faraway place, converted herself to a white horse.
·
Sun is spending with Savarna (Chaya) and had
children, Savarna Manuvu, Sani. She started showing step motherly treatment.
Yama got angry on her. Chaya cursed him to get infect liquid to come from his
feet. Then Yama and Sun realized something happened. Chaya finally told the
fact. Sun went to his father-in-law place, from there went in a horse form. When
he reached Sangna, could recognize each other because of their breath-in-out.
Then Ashwini Gods have been born. Then Sun reduced his hotness.
Somothpathi
·
Athri did 3000 years Tapassu – Tejassu (Charishma)
from him is Soma rupam. That has fallen on Earth. Brahma took him (Soma) on his
chariot. Soma did 21 pradakshinas to Vasundhara. His tejassu entered to earth
as Oshadhis (Medicines).
·
Soma has done Rajasuya yagam in which Brahma
has taken Dakshina (Donation) . Brahma, Athri, Brughuvu have been rithviks.
Hari has been a member. Cine, Kuhuvu, Dhyuthi, Pushti, Prabha, Vasuvu, Keerthi,
Dhruthi, Lakshmi have served Soma. After getting so much aiswaryam (prosperity)
he has become avinaya (disobedient) and nanaya (corrupted). He kidnapped
Bruhasptahi’s wife Tara. Then Sukrudu came from Bruhaspathi and fought with
Soma along with Gods. But in vain. Brahma mediated and made Tara to be handed
over back to Bruhaspathi. But she was already pregnant and delivered Budha (due
to Soma). Bruhaspathi disowned her.

and women should do without agni hotram. Pushkara teerthas, pilgrim places,
mountains, sacred rivers, lakes etc., suitable places for Sradha. The places
where should not be done – Kiratha, Kalinga, Konkanam, North of Sea / Sindhu
River, South of Narmada. Every year should be done. With mantras only non-sudras
should do. When Surya enters in Kanya Rasi 15-day Sradha is Good to be done. It
will fetch tithi-wise from Padyami to Pournami/Amavasya as follows: 1) Money 2)
Animal property 3) Children 4) Enemy destroy 5) Prosperity 6) Becomes Loka
Pujya 7) Ganadipathyam 8) Gnaanapradam 9) Women labham 10) All ambitions 11)
Becomes sarva veda rich 12) Jayam 13) Children development, animal prosperity,
long age, aiswaryam, 14) Those who died because of weapons or at the young age
will get satisfied 15) Will attain sarva kama and reach heaven.

One should do sradha to parents, children less
father’s brothers, elder brothers. Every year pithru devathas, Viswa devatha
should be done. two Brahmins should be prayed in the place of Deva pithru
places. Brahmins become Suchi after 11th, Khsatriya 13th, Vysya 16th, Sudra 31st
day. Ekodishta Sradha should be done on 12th Day, Tripaksha day.
Every month masikam. Then sapindikaranam also should be done. In this Viswa
Devathas will not be invited. Brahmins will be in odd number. No need for
children less women. For such women anniversary should be done by Gnathas, if
not, brothers, or Grandson (daughter’s son). If none is there King should do
for any caste as he is the relation for all castes. Then Nithya Sradham should
be done for Pithru, Pitha maha, Pra Pithamaha + three more generations – thus
including the yajamani it relates to 7 generations. Thus, by doing this he will
satisfy all. Whatever births they would have taken (Birds, animals) will be
happy.

In Krutha yuga 12-year Tapassu equals to 1 year
in Tretha – 1month in Dwapara – 1 day and night in Kali. Krutha – Dhyanam,
Tretha – Yagnam, Dwapara – Archana, Kali – Keerthana. Brahmins should be
satvika, adhere to Vedas, do rituals. Sudras should respect Brahmins. Women
should respect husband and they go to heavens only because of that.

Three types of Pralayams – Nymythikam (After
Brahma’s ayuh kalam), Prakruthikam (for every 2 pararadhams once happens),
Athyanthikam (Jeeva moksham). 100 crore crores is parardham Double of it is
dwiparardham Hence whatever pralayam happens for every dwiparardham is called
Prakrutha pralayam. One eye lid time is Nimesham – 15 such – kashtam – 30 such
= 15 kalalu nadika. 2 Nadika = 1 muhurtham. 30 such = 1 day and night. 30 such
= 1 month. 12 months = 1 year. 360 years = 1 Devatha year. 1200 Devatha years =
1 chaturyugam. That will be Krutha Thretha Dwapara Kali yugas. 1000 such = 1
Brahma dinam i.e Kalpam. After Kalpam end – including Brahma nymithika layam
happens. During Nymithika time after 1000 Chaturyuga – heavy rains, downpour
takes place, all will be submerged, Vishnu will become like Rudra and in Sun’s
7 rays He will appear and dries out all, 7 Suns will appear in all directions,
all water dependant animals die, whole world dries up, becomes like back of
tortoise, gradually fire generates, burns the entire universe till heaven
including trilokas, with nowhere to stay Brahmins run to Maharloka, then to
Jana loka, then Vishnu forms dark clouds, heavy rains continue for 100 years.

Prakrutha Pralaya Kathanam

First water swallows prithivi’s ghandha
quality, then prithvi takes water form. Then fire takes away rasa quality of
water, then it becomes agni tatvam and everything becomes fire. Then Vayu takes
away agni’s rupa quality, then all becomes vayu. Then sky takes away sparsa
quality of vayu, then entire thing becomes sky. It becomes sunyam. Then
trigunas will be in equal state. For Vishnu Dwiparardham is equal to one day.
For Him there is no day and night. Only day.
Athyanthika Laya

Jeevi will recognize doshas and dukhas through
Adhyathmika, Adi Bouthika, Adi Dyvika and become vyragya. Then he becomes laya
and attains moksham. Getting physical problems
like fever etc and mental problems is Adhyathmika. From animals, birds, reptiles’
problems – Adi bouthika. Bhuthas – pranis problem like heat, cold, rain – Adi
Dyvikam.
Yoga Vidhi

Yogis will be like fishes who breaks net and go
back to water, animals like who break zoo and go back to forest. This is
because they achieve yoga bala. They should eat suji, telaga floor. Should
leave oil, should eat only once in a day. Drink watered milk. Fasting in a
month. It is like the ability to walk in a thick forest of wild animals, with
no proper road and no light – but still able to walk steadily, with no fear and
correctly.
Samkhya Vidhi
·
Samkhya yogam – Dasa guna sathvam, Nava Guna
Rajassu, Ashta Guna Tapassu, Saptha Budhi, Shashta Nabassu (Sky), Tri –
Tamassu, Eka Guna sathvam leads to moksham. Jeevi should be in sathvika guna, eat
limitedly, should forefeet kama krodha. Should know that sukham is like a
bubble, Rajo and Tamo.

Lomaharshana concluded the Brahma Puranam. He
told that Vysaya concluded the Brahma Puranam to Munis. Lomamaharshana took
leave of the munis and left the place.
