In Jainism, Brahmā is not the creator of the universe.

Role of Brahmā in Jainism

• Jain Dharma does not accept a single supreme God who creates, sustains, or destroys the world.
• Brahmā is understood as a deva in the celestial realms, not as the maker of the cosmos.
• He is one of many living beings in the universe, still subject to birth, death, karma, and rebirth.

Creation and destruction in Jainism

• The universe is eternal in Jain philosophy.
• It is without beginning and without end.
• So there is no absolute creation of the universe and no final destruction of the universe.
• What does happen is continuous change:

- substances take new forms, - living beings are born and die, - cycles of time move through rising and declining ages.

Jain view in simple words

• Nothing is created from nothing.
• Nothing is destroyed into nothing.
• Only the states and forms change.
• The fundamental realities of the universe remain eternal.

So, in Jainism:

• Brahmā is not the creator
• The universe is eternal
• Creation and destruction mean transformation, not absolute beginning or ending
