Creation of Life

There are a number of answers around what led to the creation of the universe which also states that there was no heaven, earth, and no space existed between the two. All the universe was a huge ocean filled with darkness. It is said that it all began with the sound of oom or ohm which is also considered to be very sacred by Hindus. Hindu scriptures state that the Brahman has three main functions which are found in the trinity of Gods i.e., Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva which is also the reason due to which one can see all three of them merged into one body known as Trimurti. Brahma here is the creator of the universe, Vishnu is the protector while Shiva is the one who destroys the earth whenever needed.
