I've heard some information about bahir-mukha brahmas before and I found myself absolutely intrigued by that concept. For those who might not know what a bahir-mukha brahma is, it is a brahma who is unfavourable in regards to bhakti towards the Supreme Lord. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find much information about 'bahir-mukha brahmas' so I was wondering if some of the people here could provide me with more information about them. Do they have excessively rajasic or tamasic personalities? Do the universes they create somehow reflect their materialistic nature? Are they chastised by the Supreme Lord for their lack of bhakti? So many questions! I look forward to seeing the answers I'll get.

:P

yes it has to be on revelation b/c i think we cannot see outside the time limit of our universe.

 

i think you mean a 2nd new universe in the same location. b/c according to hinduism there are way over trillions of material universes scattered around maha-vishnu. and this universe is regarded as 111+ trillion yrs. old.
