Brahma is the creator within the Trimurti — the one from whom the universe, the Vedas, and all beings emerge. With four faces gazing in every direction, he speaks the four Vedas and sees all of creation at once.
"From the lotus that rose from Vishnu's navel, the creator opened his eyes and the worlds began."
His consort is Saraswati, goddess of knowledge; his vehicle is the swan, symbol of discernment. Brahma represents creativity, wisdom and the very act of bringing things into being. A child named Brahma carries vision and the spirit of a creator.
