Hindus Worship Brahma In Hinduism’s vast pantheon where millions of deities receive devotional attention through elaborate temple rituals, festivals, and daily prayers, one glaring anomaly stands out: Lord Brahma—the supreme creator deity of the Trimurti responsible for manifesting the entire universe—receives minimal worship and possesses only a handful of dedicated temples across India despite his foundational cosmic role, raising theological questions about why the architect of existence itself fades into relative obscurity while Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer command vast devotional followings, massive temple complexes, and central positions in Hindu religious practice.
This striking disparity stems from multiple curses imposed upon Brahma by various deities and sages as punishment for moral transgressions including lustful obsession toward his own creation Shatarupa, arrogant lies during the infinite lingam competition with Vishnu, impatience leading to improper marriage, and disrespect toward visiting sages—each curse restricting his worship and explaining why he who created everything receives almost nothing in return.
The most famous explanation comes from the Padma Purana’s account of Savitri (Saraswati) cursing Brahma after he married Gayatri, a local gopi (cowherd girl), to complete a crucial yajna (fire sacrifice) at Pushkar when his first wife arrived late, causing the enraged Savitri to declare “You shall never be worshipped by anyone!”—a curse later softened to allow worship only at Pushkar, Rajasthan, explaining why the Brahma Temple at Pushkar remains one of very few prominent temples dedicated to him in a nation containing millions of temples for other deities.
A second major narrative involves Shiva’s curse after Brahma lied about reaching the top of an infinite pillar of fire (Jyotirlinga) during a superiority competition, using a Ketaki flower as false witness—when honest Vishnu admitted defeat, proud Brahma’s deception prompted Shiva to manifest as fierce Bhairava, sever Brahma’s fifth head, and curse him to receive no worship from mortals.
Additionally, Sage Bhrigu cursed Brahma after the creator deity failed to properly welcome him during a test of the Trimurti’s humility—when Bhrigu arrived unannounced at Satyaloka finding Brahma absorbed in meditation with Saraswati playing veena and completely ignoring the distinguished guest, the insulted sage declared Brahma unworthy of worship due to his arrogance and lack of hospitality toward spiritual seekers.
Beyond mythological curses, theological explanations suggest that Brahma requires limited worship because his primary work—creation—is essentially complete; once the universe is created and its fundamental laws established at each cosmic cycle’s beginning, preservation (Vishnu’s ongoing duty) and transformation/destruction (Shiva’s continuous function) become the pressing necessities requiring constant devotional attention and divine intervention, while Brahma retreats into transcendent meditation having fulfilled his initial creative purpose.
Understanding why Hindus don’t worship Brahma reveals fundamental theological principles about accountability applying even to creator deities, moral consequences transcending cosmic hierarchy, the distinction between creating and maintaining, and how Hindu tradition balances mythological punishment narratives with practical devotional focus on deities managing ongoing cosmic processes rather than completed events.
This comprehensive exploration examines the multiple curse narratives explaining Brahma’s limited worship, the few exceptional temples where he is honored, theological and philosophical reasons beyond curses, comparative analysis with Vishnu and Shiva worship, and contemporary spiritual lessons from this unusual phenomenon.
The Savitri-Gayatri Curse: Pushkar’s Singular Status
The most widely known explanation for Brahma’s limited worship involves his hasty second marriage during a crucial sacrifice, triggering his first wife’s devastating curse.
The Crucial Yajna at Pushkar
According to the Padma Purana and local Pushkar traditions, Brahma decided to perform a grand yajna (fire sacrifice) at Pushkar, a sacred location where lotus petals from his cosmic lotus had fallen to earth, creating three beautiful lakes. This sacrifice aimed to ensure purity, prosperity, and cosmic balance for the region.
However, Hindu ritual law stipulates that a yajna cannot be performed by a man without his wife present beside him—the feminine principle must balance the masculine for the ritual to possess spiritual efficacy and produce desired cosmic results.
Savitri’s Delay and Brahma’s Impatience
Brahma sent the divine sage Narada to summon his wife Savitri (also called Saraswati in some versions) to attend the yajna. The ritual required beginning at an astronomically auspicious muhurta (precise timing) that would soon pass, after which the ceremony would lose its effectiveness.
Savitri, however, was delayed in her preparations. According to different versions:
- She was waiting for Goddesses Lakshmi, Parvati, and Indrani to accompany her as befitting her divine status
- She was adorning herself appropriately for such a significant public ceremony
- She was completing other divine duties before departing
As the crucial muhurta approached and Savitri had not yet arrived, Brahma grew increasingly anxious. The gathered sages, devas, and witnesses urged him to proceed, warning that missing the auspicious timing would nullify the entire ritual’s purpose.
The Hastily Arranged Marriage
Unable to wait longer and desperate to complete the yajna before the muhurta passed, Brahma married Gayatri (also spelled Gayathri), a local gopi (cowherd girl or milkmaid), and seated her in the rightful position beside him reserved for his legitimate wife Savitri, completing the ritual with this hastily arranged substitute.
Different texts describe Gayatri as:
- A beautiful local cowherd girl transformed and purified for divine marriage
- A form of divine shakti manifested for the emergency
- An innocent participant in Brahma’s impatient decision
With Gayatri beside him holding a pot of amrit (elixir of life) in one hand and ahuti (sacrificial offerings) for the fire in the other, Brahma successfully completed his yajna before the muhurta expired.
Savitri’s Fury and the Devastating Curse
When Savitri finally arrived and witnessed Gayatri occupying her rightful place beside Brahma, fury consumed her. Feeling humiliated, disrespected, and replaced—especially in such a public ceremony before countless divine witnesses—she exploded in rage.
She also cursed the other participants:
- The sages present: They would always perform sacrifices merely in exchange for material gifts rather than spiritual purity
- Vishnu: For supporting Brahma’s decision, he would suffer separation from his consort
- Indra and other devas: They would face various future difficulties
Softening the Curse
When the other deities pleaded for mercy, recognizing the severity of completely eliminating Brahma worship, Savitri softened her curse slightly: “There shall be one temple only—here in Pushkar—where Brahma may be worshipped. Nowhere else shall he receive significant devotion.”
After pronouncing the curse, the heartbroken Savitri deserted Brahma and retreated to a nearby hill where a temple to her stands to this day, overlooking but separated from the Brahma temple where Gayatri continues to sit beside her husband.
Contemporary Pushkar Temple
The Brahma Temple at Pushkar, Rajasthan, remains the most prominent and sacred site for Brahma worship, constructed in the 14th century CE with later rebuilding. The temple features:
- A distinctive red pinnacle (shikhara)
- A hamsa (swan) bird motif representing Brahma’s vehicle
- Marble and stone slab construction
- The idol showing Brahma seated with Gayatri beside him
- The nearby Savitri Temple on a hilltop overlooking the main temple
During the Kartik Purnima festival (November), thousands of pilgrims visit Pushkar to bathe in the sacred lake and worship at the Brahma temple, temporarily transforming this quiet town into one of Hinduism’s most vibrant pilgrimage centers.
Shiva’s Curse: The Infinite Lingam Competition
The Debate Over Supremacy
According to the Linga Purana and Shiva Purana, Brahma and Vishnu once engaged in heated argument about their relative supremacy—who among the Trimurti was truly the ultimate deity, the most powerful, the supreme cosmic principle worthy of primary worship?
Their escalating dispute threatened to disrupt cosmic stability, with each claiming superior status based on their respective functions—Brahma as creator bringing existence into being, Vishnu as preserver maintaining cosmic order.
The Test: Manifestation of the Infinite Pillar
To definitively settle the matter, Shiva manifested as a massive pillar of blazing fire (Jyotirlinga) that extended infinitely upward into the celestial realms and infinitely downward into the netherworlds, telling them: “Whoever finds the top or bottom of this pillar shall be declared the supreme deity.”
This towering column of divine fire represented the Absolute—infinite, unbounded, beyond all categories and limitations.
The Search: Honesty Versus Deception
Vishnu transformed into Varaha (boar form) and dove deep into the earth, digging through layers of reality seeking the pillar’s foundation. Brahma assumed his swan (hamsa) form and flew upward, ascending through the heavens searching for the pillar’s crown.
Both searched for what seemed like eons—traveling through countless cosmic layers, dimensions, and realms—yet neither could locate an end to the infinite pillar.
Finally, exhausted and humbled, Vishnu honestly admitted defeat, returning to acknowledge: “I could not find the bottom. This pillar is truly infinite. Lord Shiva is supreme.”
Brahma’s Deceptive Claim
However, Brahma’s ego prevented such humble admission. During his upward ascent, he encountered a Ketaki flower (Pandanus odorifer/screwpine flower) gently falling downward along the pillar.
Seeing an opportunity for deception, Brahma convinced the flower to serve as false witness, testifying that it had come from the pillar’s top which Brahma had supposedly reached—thereby “proving” his victory through lies and manipulation.
The Punishment: Severed Head and Curse
Enraged by such dishonesty—especially from the deity responsible for establishing cosmic truth and dharmic principles—Shiva manifested his fierce Bhairava form and severed Brahma’s fifth (uppermost) head with his fingernail or Trishul.
Shiva also cursed the Ketaki flower: “For bearing false witness and participating in deception, you shall never be used in my worship despite your beauty and fragrance”—a curse explaining why Ketaki flowers, though lovely, remain excluded from Shiva puja to this day.
The Brahmahatya Dosha
After severing Brahma’s head, the skull (Kapala) stuck to Shiva’s hand and could not be removed—representing the Brahmahatya dosha (sin of killing a Brahmin, which Brahma represented as the source of all Brahmins).
This curse forced Shiva to wander the three worlds as Bhikshatana (the naked beggar), carrying the skull as his begging bowl, seeking liberation from the karmic weight. Only when reaching Varanasi (Kashi), the eternal city transcending karmic laws, did the skull finally fall from his hand, demonstrating that even righteous punishment carries consequences requiring spiritual purification.
Sage Bhrigu’s Test and Curse
The Mission to Test the Trimurti
According to the Bhagavata Purana, sages gathered at the river Saraswati’s banks for a great yajna and debated who among the Trimurti deserved to be honored as the supreme deity worthy of receiving the sacrifice’s primary offerings.
Unable to reach consensus, they deputed the respected Sage Bhrigu to test each of the three deities to determine who possessed the greatest combination of power, wisdom, and—most importantly—humility and grace.
Testing Brahma: The Failure
Bhrigu first visited Lord Brahma at Satyaloka (Brahma’s heavenly abode). To test his patience and humility, Bhrigu deliberately refused to sing Brahma’s praises, did not prostrate before him, and showed no external signs of respect despite being in the creator’s presence.
Brahma initially grew angry at this apparent disrespect, consumed by pride and expecting automatic veneration. However, realizing his son (Bhrigu being one of his Manasaputras or mind-born sons) was testing him, Brahma controlled his anger and allowed the sage to depart without punishment.
Despite avoiding the worst reaction, Bhrigu was not impressed by Brahma’s initial anger and pride, concluding that the creator lacked sufficient humility and grace. The sage cursed Brahma that he would not be prominently worshipped by mortals on Earth.
Contrasting Vishnu’s Response
When Bhrigu later tested Vishnu by actually kicking him in the chest while the deity rested, Vishnu responded with perfect grace, apologizing for his chest being too hard and asking if Bhrigu’s foot was injured—demonstrating supreme humility despite being kicked.
This response so moved Bhrigu that he declared Vishnu the supreme deity worthy of primary worship, explaining Vaishnavism’s prominence in Hindu practice.
The Rare Brahma Temples Across India
Despite the curses restricting his worship, several temples dedicated to Brahma exist across India, each with unique history and significance.
1. Brahma Temple, Pushkar, Rajasthan
The most famous and prominent Brahma temple, one of very few in the world, this 14th-century structure features:
- Red shikhara (spire) with distinctive architecture
- Hamsa (swan) motif throughout
- Annual Kartik Purnima festival attracting thousands
- Gayatri seated beside Brahma inside the sanctum
- Savitri temple visible on nearby hilltop
2. Adi Brahma Temple, Khokhan, Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Located in the scenic Kullu Valley, this ancient temple features pagoda-like Himachali architecture and is believed to be consecrated by Parashurama. Local legends credit Adi Brahma with curing the region of evil and diseases when the Kullu king prayed for intervention.
The “Adi” (first/original) prefix suggests Buddhist influence in the region over centuries, and the temple once served devotees from both Mandi and Kullu districts before political division required a replica.
3. Brahma Karmali Temple, Goa
Located in Nagargao Village, Sattari district, this unique temple houses a magnificent 12th-century black basalt idol from the Kadamba period, standing nearly six feet tall. The intricately carved standing figure features:
- Four heads facing cardinal directions
- Long beard on the front face
- Four hands holding ladle (fire rituals), Vedas, kamandalu (water pot), and prayer beads
- Exquisite prabhaval (arch) with deity carvings
- Goddesses Savitri and Gayatri on either side
Worship of Brahma likely arrived in the Konkan region during the 5th century CE under early Chalukya rule, establishing this rare temple that remains one of Goa’s unique spiritual sites.
4. Brahma Temple, Thirunavaya, Kerala
This ancient temple in Kerala is believed to be where Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva manifested together, making it especially sacred. According to tradition, Lord Parashurama consecrated this temple after settling Brahmins in the region, dedicating it to his guru Brahma as a Brahma-Kshatriya balancing priestly and warrior duties.
The site is famous for the annual Mamangam festival and Vavu Bali rituals where thousands offer oblations to departed souls.
5. Brahma Temple, Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu
Located in the temple town of Kumbakonam, this temple features architectural grandeur with Brahma shown with four heads—three visible from front and sides, the back face hidden. Goddesses Saraswati and Gayatri flank the main deity.
Parents perform Brahma Sankalp Pooja here praying for children’s educational and material success, recognizing Brahma’s connection to knowledge and the Vedas.
6. Brahma Temple, Asotra, Rajasthan
Another rare Rajasthan Brahma temple exists at Asotra village in Barmer district, though far less famous than Pushkar.
Other Notable Mentions
- Various temples contain Brahma shrines as secondary deities
- Some ancient temples include Brahma in Trimurti representations
- Certain yantras and sacred diagrams invoke Brahma alongside other deities
Theological and Philosophical Explanations
Beyond mythological curses, deeper theological reasons explain Brahma’s limited worship.
Creation is Complete: Focus on Preservation and Transformation
The most philosophically sophisticated explanation is that Brahma’s primary work—creation—is essentially finished. At the beginning of each cosmic cycle (kalpa), Brahma creates the universe, establishes fundamental laws, designs living creatures, and sets existence in motion.
Once creation is accomplished, the ongoing cosmic necessities become:
- Preservation (Vishnu’s domain): Maintaining order, protecting dharma, sustaining life, ensuring cosmic balance
- Transformation/Destruction (Shiva’s domain): Removing obstacles, destroying evil, transforming through dissolution, preparing for renewal
These ongoing functions require constant divine attention and intervention, making Vishnu and Shiva directly relevant to devotees’ daily lives—protecting from enemies, granting material needs, destroying illnesses and obstacles, transforming consciousness.
Brahma, having completed creation, retreats into transcendent meditation, requiring less active worship since his foundational work no longer needs daily repetition until the next cosmic cycle begins.
The Problem of Origins
Philosophically, worshipping the creator raises questions about ultimate origins. If Brahma created everything, what created Brahma? The answer—he emerged from Vishnu’s navel lotus—suggests Vishnu’s primacy.
Additionally, creation implies duality (creator and created), whereas ultimate reality (Brahman) transcends such divisions. Worshipping Vishnu or Shiva as Supreme Consciousness allows devotees to focus on the underlying unity rather than the creative multiplicity.
Moral Accountability and Divine Justice
The curse narratives teach that even creator deities face karmic consequences for moral failings—lust, pride, impatience, dishonesty. This reinforces fundamental Hindu principles:
- Dharma applies universally, even to gods
- Moral transgressions carry consequences regardless of cosmic status
- Spiritual hierarchy does not exempt anyone from ethical accountability
- Divine power without moral discipline leads to downfall
These stories make Hinduism’s ethical framework more compelling by showing that gods themselves must uphold dharma or suffer punishment.
Symbolic Interpretation: Ego and Attachment
Allegorically, Brahma represents the ego (ahamkara) that creates our subjective reality and becomes obsessed with its creations (represented by Shatarupa). The curse symbolizes that:
- Ego-worship leads to spiritual stagnation
- Transcending identification with the creator-mind is necessary for liberation
- Ultimate devotion belongs to transcendent consciousness (Shiva) or divine grace (Vishnu), not to the creative ego-principle
This reading transforms controversial narratives into profound spiritual psychology applicable to individual sadhana (spiritual practice).
Comparative Analysis: Why Worship Vishnu and Shiva?
Understanding why Vishnu and Shiva dominate Hindu worship clarifies Brahma’s marginal position.
Vishnu: The Accessible Preserver
Vishnu’s avatars (Rama, Krishna, Narasimha, etc.) make him directly accessible through incarnate forms that walked the earth, taught disciples, protected devotees, and demonstrated divine intervention in relatable human or semi-human forms.
His preservation function addresses immediate concerns—protection from danger, material prosperity, family welfare, victory over enemies—making daily worship practically beneficial.
Shiva: The Transformative Ascetic
Shiva represents both the terrifying destroyer removing obstacles and the supreme yogi granting liberation through dissolution of ego. His fierce grace transforms devotees through spiritual ordeals, making him essential for those seeking moksha (liberation) or overcoming karmic bondage.
His easily apprehended linga form allows abstract worship without requiring elaborate anthropomorphic representations.
Brahma: The Distant Architect
Brahma remains abstract—the cosmic administrator whose work feels distant from daily concerns. He doesn’t incarnate, doesn’t intervene in battles, doesn’t grant boons as readily, making personal relationship more difficult to establish through worship.
Contemporary Spiritual Lessons
The Brahma worship phenomenon teaches important spiritual principles:
1. Function Over Position
Cosmic position (creator deity) matters less than ongoing functional relevance. This applies to spiritual and worldly life—what matters is present utility and continuous engagement, not past accomplishments.
2. Moral Consequences Transcend Status
Even the universe’s creator faces punishment for moral failings, teaching that dharma operates universally without exception or favoritism.
3. Humility and Honesty
Vishnu’s honest admission of defeat versus Brahma’s prideful deception demonstrates that spiritual greatness requires humility and truth-telling even when ego tempts toward self-aggrandizement.
4. The Danger of Impatience
Brahma’s hasty marriage to complete the yajna on schedule shows how impatience and rigid attachment to timing can violate relationship commitments and trigger devastating consequences.
5. Worship Reflects Need
Devotees worship deities whose functions address present necessities—preservation and transformation—rather than completed events. This practical focus shapes religious expression.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t Hindus worship Brahma?
Hindus don’t prominently worship Brahma due to multiple curses and theological reasons. Savitri (Saraswati) cursed Brahma after he married Gayatri to complete a yajna without waiting for her, declaring he would be worshipped only at Pushkar. Shiva cursed Brahma after he lied about reaching the infinite lingam’s top during a competition, using a Ketaki flower as false witness. Sage Bhrigu cursed him for displaying arrogance when tested.
Theologically, Brahma’s primary work—creation—is complete at each cosmic cycle’s beginning, requiring less ongoing worship than preservation (Vishnu) and transformation (Shiva) which address daily devotional needs. This explains why Brahma has only a handful of temples across India despite his foundational cosmic role.
What is the Savitri-Gayatri story?
Brahma planned a yajna at Pushkar requiring his wife Savitri’s presence, but she was delayed. As the auspicious muhurta (timing) approached, impatient Brahma married Gayatri, a local cowherd girl, to complete the ritual on schedule. When Savitri finally arrived and saw Gayatri occupying her rightful place beside Brahma before assembled deities and sages, she exploded in fury and cursed Brahma: “You shall never be worshipped by anyone!” When other deities pleaded for mercy, Savitri softened the curse, allowing worship only at Pushkar.
The heartbroken Savitri then deserted Brahma and retreated to a nearby hill where a temple to her stands today, overlooking but separated from the Brahma temple where Gayatri continues sitting beside him.
Why did Shiva curse Brahma?
Shiva cursed Brahma for lying during the infinite lingam competition. When Brahma and Vishnu argued about supremacy, Shiva manifested as an infinite pillar of blazing fire, challenging them to find its top or bottom. Vishnu honestly admitted defeat after searching the depths. However, Brahma’s ego prevented humble admission—he encountered a falling Ketaki flower and convinced it to falsely testify he’d reached the pillar’s top.
When Shiva recognized this deception, he manifested as fierce Bhairava, severed Brahma’s fifth head with his fingernail or Trishul, and cursed him: “You shall no longer be worshipped by humans or gods.” Shiva also cursed the Ketaki flower never to be used in his worship despite its beauty, demonstrating that divine justice punishes dishonesty regardless of cosmic status.
How many Brahma temples exist in India?
Only a handful of prominent Brahma temples exist in India: 1) Brahma Temple, Pushkar, Rajasthan—the most famous and sacred; 2) Adi Brahma Temple, Khokhan, Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh; 3) Brahma Karmali Temple, Goa with magnificent 12th-century Kadamba-period idol; 4) Brahma Temple, Thirunavaya, Kerala consecrated by Parashurama; 5) Brahma Temple, Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu; 6) Brahma Temple, Asotra, Rajasthan.
Additionally, some temples contain Brahma shrines as secondary deities or include him in Trimurti representations. This extreme scarcity contrasts dramatically with millions of temples dedicated to Vishnu and Shiva, demonstrating the curse’s effectiveness in restricting Brahma worship despite his foundational creator role in Hindu cosmology.
What is Pushkar Brahma Temple’s significance?
The Pushkar Brahma Temple in Rajasthan is the most prominent and sacred Brahma temple globally, constructed in 14th century CE with later rebuilding. Its unique status stems from Savitri’s curse allowing Brahma worship only at Pushkar. The temple features distinctive red shikhara (spire), hamsa (swan) motif, marble and stone construction, and Gayatri seated beside Brahma inside the sanctum.
During Kartik Purnima festival (November), thousands of pilgrims visit to bathe in the sacred Pushkar Lake and worship at the temple. The nearby hilltop Savitri Temple overlooks the main temple, symbolizing the separated but observing first wife. This architectural arrangement preserves the mythological narrative while allowing continued worship despite the curse’s restrictions.
Why did Sage Bhrigu curse Brahma?
According to Bhagavata Purana, sages deputed Bhrigu to test the Trimurti to determine who deserved primary worship. When Bhrigu visited Brahma at Satyaloka, he deliberately refused to sing praises, prostrate, or show external respect. Brahma initially grew angry at this apparent disrespect, consumed by pride and expecting automatic veneration.
Though Brahma controlled his anger realizing his son was testing him, Bhrigu was unimpressed by the initial prideful reaction and concluded the creator lacked sufficient humility and grace. The sage cursed Brahma would not be prominently worshipped by mortals on Earth. This contrasted sharply with Vishnu’s perfect humility when Bhrigu later kicked him—Vishnu apologized for his chest being too hard and asked if Bhrigu’s foot was injured, demonstrating supreme grace.
What is the theological reason Brahma isn’t worshipped?
Beyond mythological curses, the philosophical explanation is that Brahma’s primary work—creation—is essentially complete. At each cosmic cycle’s beginning, Brahma creates the universe, establishes fundamental laws, designs living creatures, and sets existence in motion. Once accomplished, ongoing cosmic necessities become preservation (Vishnu’s domain) maintaining order and protecting dharma, and transformation/destruction (Shiva’s domain) removing obstacles and preparing for renewal.
These ongoing functions require constant divine attention and intervention, making Vishnu and Shiva directly relevant to devotees’ daily lives—protecting from enemies, granting needs, destroying obstacles, transforming consciousness. Brahma, having completed creation, retreats into transcendent meditation, requiring less active worship since his foundational work doesn’t need daily repetition until the next cosmic cycle begins.
What spiritual lessons does Brahma’s story teach?
Brahma’s limited worship teaches crucial spiritual principles: 1) Function matters more than position—ongoing relevance exceeds past accomplishments; 2) Moral consequences transcend cosmic status—even the creator faces punishment for dharmic violations; 3) Humility and honesty surpass pride—Vishnu’s honest admission versus Brahma’s prideful deception demonstrates spiritual greatness requires truth-telling; 4) Impatience causes devastation—hasty decisions violating relationship commitments trigger severe consequences; 5) Worship reflects present need—devotees focus on deities addressing current necessities (preservation, transformation) rather than completed events (creation).
Allegorically, Brahma represents ego (ahamkara) creating subjective reality and becoming obsessed with its creations—the curse symbolizes that ego-worship leads to spiritual stagnation, requiring transcendence toward divine consciousness.
