Snake and Lotus myths
Hindu legends
This one was inspired by a Hindu creation myth. In the story, Vishnu sleeps on the serpent of eternity in the cosmic ocean before heaven and earth exist. Then from the depths of the universe, the humming of om awakes him. As the long night of eternity comes to an end, a lotus flower blossoms from Vishnu’s naval. On the lotus sits Brahma. Vishnu tells Brahma to create the world, which was to last 432,000 years. tripod
