Brahman Devas

Brahman connotes the highest Universal Principle, the Ultimate Reality in the universe. It is the material, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is the pervasive, infinite, eternal truth and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes. Brahman as a metaphysical concept refers to the single binding unity behind diversity in all that exists in the universe.

Brahman the Absolute God of Hindus, is a very mysterious Being. In Hinduism He occupies the highest place, as the creator and enjoyer of all creation. He is the Light and Delight of the Universe, the Ruler and the Lord, without a beginning and without an end, indestructible, indescribable, blissfully immersed in Himself and all by Himself. The concept of Brahman and His relationship with individual souls and Nature and His manifestations are the subject of many schools of Hindu philosophy. Some schools believe that He is both the efficient and material cause of creation.

As Brahman is beyond the understanding of most mortal souls, he can be better known through his aspects and avatars. The Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) are the strongest aspects of Brahman's power. They are Creation, Preservation and Destruction, respectively. The Tridevi (Saraswati, Lahkshmi, and Parvati) are the Consorts and Feminine counterparts to the Trimurti. There are dozens of other lesser Devas who oversee increasingly specific aspects of the Brahman.
