[Advaita-l] Which one is first in the creation sequence

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

Creation in Drishti Srishti Vada is simultaneous. Because when That One saw
at that same time simultaneously ALL Creation happened. The Four Varnas and
Rishis, animals, all the worlds and the whole creation happened immediately
and simultaneously.
