“Brahmand”or Cosmic Egg represents the entire creation, and as the name indicates, it is an egg shaped mass that includes three distinct parts within. The outer most exampansive region of golden red light is called Brahmlok because it is filled with Brahm, the sixth luminous element of golden red color. It is also called Shantidham because there is extreme silence here due to absence of thought, speech and movement. It is called Muktidham since the souls are free from the bondage of body here. It is called Paramdham because it is the abode of God, the highest authority of this creation. Inner to this region, we have the subtle world wherein the subtle deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar reside. Their areas are called Brahmpuri, Vishnupuri and Shankarpuri where there is no sound, but both thoughts and movements are present. Inner to subtle world is the Corporeal Human world where the souls put on the costume of male or female body in order to act their roles in the eternal world drama. In this world we have the five gross elements of nature, the sun, the moon, stars, earth and other planets. Earth is in reality a revolving drama stage wherein nature; soul and Supreme soul unite to enact the eternal drama. The original abode of souls is Param Dham where souls stay with Supreme Father, God Shiva.
