WHEN IS SUPREME LORD BRAHMA, WHEN IS HE VISNU AND WHEN IS HE RUDRA!!

1/5

Reference Varaha Purana

Sage Agastya asked Rudra "O Lord, tell me at which time are you Rudra, at which time are you Brahma and at which time are you Visnu"

Rudra Replied:

2/5

"Visnu is Supreme Brahman and in Vedas and sastras he is said to have 3 forms. Visnu for sake of Devas assumes human form in every yuga and praises me. For the sake of the world & gods, I worship these two forms of the lord (divine and human) in the Svetadvipa in Krtayuga.

3/5

At the time of creation, I extol Brahma and become time. And in that Krtayuga, Brahma, Devas and Asuras extol me.

People who seek pleasure sacrifice to me in my form as linga, and those who seek liberation sacrifice to me mentally in my form as the thousand-headed.

4/5

It is to this form that the universal god Narayana himself offers sacrifice. Those who perform Brahmayajna daily propitiate Brahma, because the Veda is Brahma.

5/5

The Supreme Brahman is enshrined in the names Narayana, Siva, Visnu, Sankara and Purusottama. For those who perform Vedic rituals, we Brahma, Visnu and Mahesvara are the spirits of the mantras."
