How did God create the material universe, and in what way?

The creation of the material universe, the entire process, its development, and its evolution.

How did God create the material universe, what is the original cause of its existence, how is it sustained, and by whose will all this accomplished?

The true eternal knowledge concerning the individual soul that each of us truly is, and the Supreme Soul, also contains knowledge related to the material cosmos and its creation.

Any intelligent person will notice that within the material cosmos there are three major evident factors: the presence of living beings, the universal manifestation itself, and the power that governs the latter two.

Indeed, a perceptive mind is capable of understanding that neither individual beings nor the material cosmos studded with galaxies of various dimensions are the product of chance. The perfect balance of creation and the ordered harmony of its causes and effects suggest the presence, behind these mechanisms, of a Divine Being endowed with an extraordinary superior intelligence, the original cause of the material cosmos.

Brahma, the demiurge and first created being, received the power to create from Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He therefore acts under the authority of the Lord. He is therefore the direct creator of the manifested galaxy and everything it contains, and therefore has knowledge of the past, present, and future.

Three major factors: the individual being, the phenomenal world, and the one who rules it, act continuously in the past, present, and future. It is incumbent on the master who rules the galaxy to perfectly understand the mechanism of cause and effect within his galaxy. The revealed scriptures announce that the Brahma of our galaxy is the youngest of all the Brahmas who rule the innumerable galaxies beyond our own, which constellate the material cosmos, and that none of them can equal Krishna, the Supreme Personality.

God is forever the Supreme Lord, and no individual being can ever equal Him; even Brahma cannot claim to be the equal of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, let us beware of ever being deceived by those who posthumously worship certain great figures as if they were God.

Brahma the demiurge says: I create after the Lord Himself has created from His personal effulgence. I serve Krishna, the original Lord. The spiritual effulgence of His body, omnipresent, infinite, and unfathomable, is the cause of the creation of the innumerable planets, each endowed with a specific atmosphere and living conditions.
