Brahma, in the Hindu religion and philosophy at one time the formless spirit of the Universe, from which all beings issue and into which they all merge, and as such is not an object of worship, but a subject of meditation; and at another the creator of all things, of which Vishnu (q.v.) is the preserver and Siva (q.v.) the destroyer, killing that he may make alive. See Trimurti.
