Changes

परमात्मा ॥ Paramatma is one, and the विश्वम् || Universe (Cosmos) is His manifested greatness. Srishti is in one sense Asat (a formless, seamless expansion of space) and Sat (causal forms). Thus, the main components of Srishti are Life or Consciousness and conscious beings. When the transformation from Asat to Sat takes place, Srishti or Creation is said to happen, while the opposite of this, which is transformation of Sat to Asat is called विनाशः ॥ Vinasha (Destruction). An indepth knowledge of "Brahma's day and night" and the division of कल्पाः ॥ Kalpas and युग-s ॥ Yugas will unfold the calculation of the time elapsed since the creation of the Universe. This seems like अनन्तकालः ॥ Ananta Kala or infinite number of years have passed. The कालचक्रः ॥ Kala chakra (time cycles) are explained in ज्योतिष्-शास्त्रम् ॥ Jyotish shastra in the Panchanga.

=== सृष्टिकारणम् || Cause of Creation ===

Paramapurusha initiated Creation with a definite cause or reason.  The purpose of creation is to bring about order or harmony wherein through the process of transformation disarrayed expanse is brought to a stable structure. Paramatma’s karuna (compassion) and Swatantra sankalpa are the causes for this creation. The Paramapurusha remains unaffected and accompanied by श्री || Sri (Shakti) is always resplendent in a constant state of existence.   His दृढ संकल्प || drudha sankalpa (determination) is the symbol of Semen, the Seed of Creation. Paramapurusha is the अश्रयभुत || ashrayabhuta the shelter for the existence of Srishti. Paramapurusha, the illumine form, resources His abundant energy in the process of Creation, thus He becomes the original cause and is completely independent.<ref name=":1" />
