“Let there be no compulsion in Religion: truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah (one God) has grasped the most trustworthy hand hold, that never breaks. and Allah hears, and knows all things.” 
(Qur’an, Al-Baqarah 2:256)
Its important to each and every person to understand the basic scriptures in light of truth, because our Faith and belief completely depend upon them. also its matter of  Salvation.
Almighty Allah had made Mandatory to every muslim give to the true message [Holy scripture Quran which was sent to his Slave and Prophet Muhammad Pbuh] of Islam to each and every person around the world.
Vedavyasa did much more than compose the Mahabharata and the Puranas. So far as the Vedas are concerned.  Krishna Dvaipayana had four other disciples.  But the Puranas were taught only to Romaharshana.
There was a forest known as naimisharanya.  Many years ago, several sages organized a yajna (sacrifice) in the forest.  After the sacrifice was over, the assembled sages told Romaharshana.  You have recited to us many Puranas.  These suject matter is so pleasing that we would like to hear them once more.  Please satisfy our thirst for hearing.
[ This is the great Matsya Purana, told by Vishnu to Manu]
The Creation of Universe and Mankind [THE MATSYA PURANA]
In the beginning, there was nothing in the universe.  There was only darkness.

When the time came for creation to beigin, Vishnu removed the darkness and expaned into three.  These three parts came to be known as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.  The first object that appeared was water and Vishnu slept on this water.  Since nara means water and ayana means resting-place, Vishnu is accordingly also known as Narayana.

In this water next appeared a golden (hiranya) egg (anda).  The egg shone with the radiance of a thousand suns.  Inside the egg, Brahma grew from the navel of Vishnu.  The egg was golden.  Garbha means womb, and since Vishnu appeared inside a golden egg, he is also known as Hiranyagarbha.

For a thousand years Brahma stayed inside the egg.  He then split the shell into two and emerged out.  Heaven (svarga) was made from one half of the shell and the earth from the remaining half.  All the land masses, the oceans, the rivers and the mountains, had been inside the egg in embryonic form.  Brahma made them manifest.

Since he was the first (adi) being to be born, he is known as Aditya.  (The name Aditya is more commonly explained as characterising the offspring of Aditi, from whom all the gods were descended.  The Matsya Purana refers to this later.)

Brahma’s first act was to meditate.

Human Bondage in Hinduism

Within Hinduism there are two schools of philosophy which attentively attend to the problem of human bondage. These are those who subscribe to the theories of the Upanisads and the followers of the Yogasutras. The human bondage referred to is a confinement to the human condition and the chains of consciousness. According to the Upanisadic literature, karma ties one to Samsara, while in the Yogasutras cittavrtti’s bind one to prakrti. Consequentially, moksa (liberation) and its requirements a Article 319: God’s Creations According to Christianity

In this series of articles, the author explores faiths and cultural myths of the world in terms of creation. Cultures and faiths explored are: Japanese, Egyptians, Buddhism, Aztec, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Article 321: The Creation Issue according to Buddhism

In this series of articles, the author explores faiths and cultural myths of the world in terms of creation. Cultures and faiths explored are: Japanese, Buddhism, Aztec, Christianity, Islam and Judaism.It was while he was meditating that the Vedas were revealed from with in his heart. He then distributed that knowledge.

Critic Objection : Logically This proves that Brahma doesn’t had any knowledge of Vedas until it is reveal from his heart, meditation is done only for peace of mind. one will not gain any knowledge  from mediation  from internal source, because knowledge he had to be gain from external source or has to be recollect from brain, it’s a just a common saying that we will hide secrets in heart but actually heart is just a blood pumping device.

Ten sons were also born to Brahma.  Created from Brahma’s mental powers, they all became sages.  Their names were Marichi, Atri, Angira, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Pracheta, Vashishtha, Bhrigu and Narada.  There were others too who were born. Daksha was born from Brahma’s right toe.  And the god Dharma was born from his chest.

But for further creation to continue, it was essential that created beings should have proper mothers and fathers.  Brahma accordingly created two beings from his body, one was male and the other was female.  The male half was named Svayambhuva Manu and the female half was named Shatarupa.

Shatarupa is also referred to as Savitri, Gayatri, Sarasvati or Brahmani.  Since she had been born from Brahma’s body, she was like Brahma’s daughter.  In fact, Vashishtha and the other sages who were Brahma’s sons welcomed her as their sister.  But Shatarupa was so beautiful that Brahma fell in love with her and wished to marry her.

Shatarupa circled Brahma and showed her respects to him.  When she stood in front of him.  Brahma gazed upon her with the face that he had.  But when she went and stood behind him, Brahma could see her no longer.  (Brahma, obviously, did not want to turn his head.)  Another head with another face therefore sprouted behind Brahma’s first head so that he might be able to see Shatarupa.  In similar fashion, a head sprouted to Brahma’s first head so that he might be able to see Shatarpa.  In similar fashion, a head sprouted to Brahma’s right an another one to his left.

Brahma married Shatarupa and they lived together as man and wife for a hundred years.  Their son was named Svayambhuva Manu.

Critic Objection: So Brahma the creator of the universe was married to  his own created daughter Shatarupa is also referred to as Savitri, Gayatri, Sarasvati or Brahmani,  because of  his unavoidable lust towards  his daughter Shatarupa, even though when she tried to escape from his lustful eyes, finally when she hadn’t  had way to escape because  Brahma was seeing and attacking her from each and every direction like wild beast so she surrender  to Brahma without her will. So Humans are created because of sinful acts of the creator with her creation.

Logically this proves that the creator Brahma doesn’t have the exact knowledge of his own creation. Then Brahma’s complete creation was base on trial and error method, as an ordinary normal human being does. Please Brothers and Sister How can you belief such a individual will be creator of unimaginable universe.

Remember that this story was being told by Vishnu to Vaivasvata Manu.

Hearing the account, Vaivasvata Manu exclaimed. What you have just said is truly amazing.

To continue with the account of the creation, Brahma created the four kumars from his menatal powers and their names are Sananda, Sanaka, Sanatana and Sanatakumara, and they became celebate brahmacaries .  Shiva appeared as well.

Brahma asked Shiva to help him in the act of creation.  Why don’t you create some beings as well?’ asked Brahma. Shiva complied and started to create.  But all the beings that he created were just like him in appearance.  That is , they were all immortal.

What are you doing?  asked Brahma.  Don’t create immortal beings.  Create mortal ones instead. 
That I refuse to do, retorted Shiva.  If I am to create, I shall create only immortals.

Please do not create then, requested Brahma.  I will take care of creation myself.

Logically this Proves Even Lord Shiva too doesn’t have any knowledge of creation of mortal mankind.

Svayambhuva Manu performed very difficult tapsaya and obtained a wife named Anati.  (In other Puranas, Svayambhuva Manu is stated to have married Shatarupa.)  Svayambhuva Manu and Ananti had two sons named Priyavrata and Uttanapada.
Logically Again this proves that the creator Brahma doesn’t had any knowledge of the exact requirement of his own creation, Because Brahma forget to create female partner to his son Svayambhuva Manu until he had done very difficult tapsaya. [ In other Puranas, show love  triangle between Father Brahma, Mother Shatarupa and Son Svayambhuva Manu]

From Uttanapada was descended Prachinavarhi.  Prachinavarahi married Savarna, the daugther  of the ocean, and they had ten sons.  These sons were known as the Prachetas.  The ten Prachetas married a woman named Marisha.  That is, all of them had the same wife.

Logically So Brahma forget to create equal partner to ten Prachetas brothers, so all the ten brothers married a single available women on the earth, again how can a ocean had a daughter, because ocean is not a human being.

Daksha was the son of the Prachetas and Marisha. 

Daksha’s Descendants

Daksha married Panchanjani.  (The more usual name, as given in the other Puranas, is Asikli or Prasuti.  Prasuti is said to have been the daughter of Svayhambhuva Manu and Shatarupa.  Asikli was the daughter of Virana and is also referred to as Vairini.)

Objection : More confusion again, Svayambhuva Manu above mention son of Brahma and Shatarupa, Now here mention his own mother as his wife.  [ this Daksha is a mortal human being because he had born from mortal parents, But the Daksha who was born from right toe of  Brahma is immortal being]
Daksha and Panchajani had one thousand sons.  These were known as the Haryakshas (alternatively, Haryashvas).  Daksha asked his sons to create more living beings.
Objection : More confusion again, Brahma created normal mortal human being , the normal human being eat, sleep and die. Since Brahma not allowed lord Shiva to created immortal beings like Shiva himself. how could normal human being pair of Daksha and Panchajani can give birth to  thousands sons.

But the sage Narada came and told the Haryakshas, You can’t possibly create living beings unless you know where they are going to live.  Have you explored the universe that your creations are going to populate?  Why don’t you start out on a voyage of discovery?

The Haryakshas did this and have never been heard of since.  They did not return. Instead became devoted brahmacaries.
Objection : More Confusion : Why Brahma had written a such future to poor Haryakhas, again  Brahma had forget to create their female partner, So he send his son Narada to trick these poor guys and send them to explored the universe, so that they can forget about their marriage. this just foolishness to imagine that when Brahma the creator himself not able to resist and married his own daughter. then how can these thousands of poor guys  foolishly agree to Narada’s advice. Because human nature never change.

Daksha and Panchajani now had another thousand sons.  These were name the Shavalas. (The more usual name is the Shavalshvas.)  Narada asked the Shavalas also to explore the universe and they too disappeared.
Big Question : There is no description still now, forget about heaven that is something which is practically impossible to explain by scientific methods, But what are the things that  Brahma had created on Earth and on Space and how did Brahma protecting and control  them.

Sixty daughters were next born to Daksha and Panchajani.  Sometimes the number is given as sixty, sometimes as fifty and sometimes as twenty-four.)  Ten of these daughers were married to the god Dharma, twenty-seven were married to the moon-god Chandra, and thirteen were married to the sage Kashyapa.  The remaining daughters were married to various other sages.

Objection : Serious Confusion : The Moon is a Natural Satellite of Earth, So if you guys Consider Moon as god than God Moon is Immortal So why did Brahma made god Chandra or moon to marry the 27 mortal  daughters of Daksha and Panchanjani. how could 27 mortal daughter of Daksha can live for ever with immortal god Chandra or Moon, because it’s against the nature of creation, if they could live forever with god Chandra or moon, then they have to be immortal, if so why did Brahma had stop Shiva from creating immortals, so that the immortal being like god Chandra or moon can have immortal life partner so that they can live happily for ever after.

The thirteen daughters who were married to Kashyapa were named Aditi, Diti, Danu, Arishta, Surasa, Surabhi, Vinata, Tamra, Krodhavasha, Ira, Kadru, Vishva and Muni, (The names of Kashyapa’s wives, particularly the minor ones, sometimes vary from Purana to Purana.)

Aditi’s sons were known as the adityas.  There were twelve of them and they were named Indra, Dhata, Bhaga, Tvashta, Mitra, Varuna, Yama, Vivasvana, Savita, Pusha, Amshumana and Vishnu.  These were the gods.  (Yama is more commonly regarded as having been the son of the sun-god and his wife Samjna.)

Diti’s sons were the daityas (demons).  There were two of them, named Hiranyakshipu and Hiranyaksha.  Their sons also came to be known as the daityas.  Hiranyaksha’s sons were Uluka. Shakuni, Bhutasantapana and Mahanabha.  (More commonly, Hiranyaksha’s son is said to have been Andhaka.  In some accounts, Hiranyaksha did not have a son and Andhaka was adopted as a son.)  Hiranyakshipu’s sons were Prahlada, Anuhlada, Samhlada and Hlada.  Prahlada’s son was Virochana, Virochana’s son was Vali, and Vali’s son was Vanasura.

Danu had a hundred sons.  These and their descendants were known as the danavas (demons).  Chief among the hundred sons was Viprachitti.  Maya, the archietect of the demons, was descended from this line.

Tamra had six daughters.  These were the mothers of the birds and of goats, horse, sheep, camels and donkeys.

Vinata had two sons, Aruna and Garuda.  Aruna’s sons were Sampati and Jatayu.

Both Surasa and Kadru gave birth to snakes (nagas or sarpas).

Krodhavasha was the mother of rakshasas (demons); Surabhi of cows and buffaloes; Muni of apsaras (dancers of heaven); Arishta aof gandharvas (singers of heaven); Ira was mother of trees and herbs; and Vishva of yakashas (demi-gods).

The Maruts

Although the gods and the demons were cousins, they did not like each other and fought amongst themselves all the time.  Many daityas were killed by Vishnu and the other gods.

Serious Confusion: How could gods like Indra become immortal and demons become mortal even though they were cousin who share  same blood because their father is same and their mothers are sisters. how could a Human [women's womb] gave birth to birds, goats, horses, camels and donkeys. this is against their nature of creation. logically if  Brahma had created from his mind power a pair of  all kinds animals, pair of  all kinds of  birds, a pair of all kinds of reptiles,pair of all kinds of  insects etc then creation will be perfect rather than he had created everything such as animal both herbivorous such cow, buffaloes, donkeys, camels and elephant etc and carnivorous animal such as dinosaur, loin, tiger, cheetah, jaguar etc, reptiles such as  fishes,crocodiles, snakes,dragons, frogs, crabs etc and more over millions of different spices which live on water, air and land can’t come from Humans [womens womb].
. Even if you agree to this idea of creation then the major Error or mistake that Brahma had committed : Since Ira was mother of  all kinds of tress and herbs  and Tamara’s daughters were mothers of  all kinds of  animals such as Goat, Buffaloes, cow, camel and donkey etc so from the first human being Svayambhuva Manu and his wife or mother Shatarupa to Daksha and his family were not eating any kind of food, Since Brahma forget to create any kind of food because All kind of food such rices, wheat, sugar, spices etc and vegetables such as onion, tomato, potato etc natural will come from either trees, herbs, milk and meat comes from animals. Even if we consider God Varuna [God of  Rain], God Surya  [Sun God]  was sons of  Kashyapa and aditi, then their will be no light or rain  in any part of the earth till birth of  both Surya and Varuna. again then how could human life or any kind of life  existed on earth without food, water, light,  air &  fire. finally this proves this just a imperfect fantasy stories with imperfect creature name Brahma. It is just foolish to imagine that Brahma married his own created daughter Shatarupa or Sarasvati and they lived together as man and wife for a hundred years.  Their son was named Svayambhuva Manu. when their is no food, water, light, air and fire present on earth, So without these basic elements human life can’t be exist. This clearly prove that Brahma’s inability to become either create or sustainer of universe.
