Process of Creation:
1. Before the material creation, Lord Krishna existed and from His various expansions, Maha-Visnu appears, accompanied by all the ingredients of material creation. From His body pores, millions of universes of various sizes and properties come out with every exhalation.
2. Maha-Visnu glances over material nature, which is eternal and by His specific functional expansion, Sambhu (Lord Siva), injects the living entities (souls) into material nature. The living entities are eternal and fragmental parts of Lord Krishna.
3. Maha-Visnu expands as Garbhodakasayi- Visnu and enters into each universe.
4. Garbhodakasayi-Visnu creates the Vedas and enters into the atomic particles (atoms) as Ksirodakasayi-Visnu, who enters into the heart of all living beings as paramatma, the super soul.
5. A lotus flower sprouts from the naval of Garbhodakasayi-Visnu, and the first living being in the universe, Lord Brahma, appears from it.
6. Ksirodakasayi-Visnu from within the heart of Lord Brahma imparts Vedic knowledge, which he uses to create everything within the universe: the planets, plants, animals, humans, demigods, and rishis.
7. From the forehead of Lord Brahma, Lord Siva appears, who is an expansion of Sadasiva (Lord Siva in the spiritual world). Lord Siva plays a role in the creation of living beings and destruction, and is known as Rudra in this role.
8. After 311.040 Trillion years, Lord Siva destroys everything within the universe and the empty shell of the universe goes back into the body pore of Maha-Visnu. Who now inhales and all the universes go back into His body pores.
9. Dull matter or a bang (big or small) or an invisible force cannot create anything. It’s the power of the Supreme Person, Sri Krishna that creates and maintains millions of universes. The unlimited opulences of Lord Krishna are completely beyond our material conception.
