In the beginning, there was only Brahman, the one without a second. From this Brahman was born SwayamBhu VishwaKarma who created the universe.(SwayamBhu means "self-born", VishwaKarma means "architect of the universe"). VishwaKarma had five faces; from each face, a brahma was born; these were Manu, Maya, Twastha, Shilpi, and Vishwajna. (Vishwakarma Vaidic Brahmins)Each of these Brahmas was the architect of one Veda. Thus there are five vedas: Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharva, and Pranava vedas. As the female counterpart of these five Brahmas, five female aspects (Shaktis) were born. These were Adi Shakti, Para Shakti, Ichcha Shakti, Jnana Shakti, and Buddhi Shakti. From each of these Brahmas were born five Bhootas (or elements). These were Prithvi, Apas, Vayu, Agni, and Akasha.
