Panchadashi
Module - A
Unit - A04: Introduction to Creation
By Raja Subramaniyan

On completion of this Unit, the student will be able to
(a) Know how the universe is created
(b) Understand the importance of knowing the nature of creation
(c) Identify the relationship between God, Living beings and Universe

Notes to the teacher: (Ref 1.15 to 1.28 of the original text)

Give a general overview of Creation through a drama enacted in the classroom. The story line is given in the Lesson A0412.

It is important for the student to understand WHY they should learn about the creation. This is more important than knowing the specific steps in creation.

Efforts should be made to make the student understand the creation as detail in as possible. However the emphasize should not be on memorizing and reproducing the order of creation but the conceptual differences in the creation should be understood.

If the students are interested the Sanskrit names of God, Living Beings, and Universe in the three different stages (Causal, Subtle, Gross), it can be discussed. This part is not given in the lessons.
