According to the Hindu theory of creation, time (Sanskrit ‘kal’) is a manifestation of God. Creation begins when God makes his energies active and ends when he withdraws all his energies into a state of inactivity. God is timeless, for time is relative and ceases to exist in the Absolute.

How does Hinduism see time?

How does Hinduism believe God uses time?

Hindus believe that time goes in a circle. In this cycle, everything is in constant change, like seasons and lives. Only Brahman, the Creator, exists forever. Hindu believers think everything in the world is part of Brahman, including the human soul.
