The blessings of lord shani were felt by everyone who participates in Shani Havan on January 26^th, 2013- 9 am at Hindu Temple of SWFL, near 12552 Plantation Rd, Fort Myers, FL and so spiritually powerful that it gave a feeling of oneness with god.

Miracle of Brahman

God does not work miracles, you do.
When you believe in him with your heart and soul each second is a miracle. Never underestimate yourself , it is in you that Brahman resides.

Brahman, the Creator and First God of Hindu Trinity

Brahma is the source, the seed and the creator of all beings in this world. At the time of creation, he emerged as the first differentiated consciousness (the first ego) from the primal waters (universal consciousness). He is called svayambhu because in reality none created him.  He created himself.
