Indian boy (2): Creation, how... About the creation. I have read it from Bible too, about Adam and Eve. Do you think that it's true?
Prabhupāda: What is the idea of Adam?
Indian boy (2): God has created him.
Prabhupāda: So the same process is mentioned in Vedas. God created Brahmā, and he created this universe.
Indian boy (2): All which we can see on the earth have been created by...
Prabhupāda: Brahmā.
Indian boy (2): Brahmā. Who is Brahmā?
Prabhupāda: Brahmā is the first creature in the universe, created by God. He came from the navel.
Indian boy (2): Therefore, by himself he could create everything, Swamijī?
Prabhupāda: Who?
Indian boy (2): Brahmā himself? He is only one...
Prabhupāda: Yes. He was empowered.
Indian boy (2): He was only one person.
Prabhupāda: Empowered by God. God created Brahmā, and he was empowered to create the universe.
Indian boy (2): There should not have been two people, a female and male?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Indian boy (2): There should not have been two people, a male and a female, to create everything?
Prabhupāda: Yes, male and female.
Indian boy (2): Then, apart from Brahmā, there would have been something else.
Prabhupāda: No, Brahmā created male and female.
Indian boy (2): Oh, he himself created it from...?
Prabhupāda: From his ear, from his eyes, from his..., like that. From many parts of his body.
Indian man (3): Swamijī, there is something quite confusing.
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Indian man (3): Lord Kṛṣṇa created Lord Viṣṇu, and Lord Viṣṇu in His turn created Lord Brahmā. So...
Prabhupāda: Not created, expanded. Just like one candle is burning, and you lit up another candle. So this candle is not created, it is simply power transfer. Expansion. You can call it expansion. Dīpārcir eva hi daśāntaram abhyupetya (Bs. 5.46). Expansion of the light.
