Who had put Lord Bramha in Jail? and why?

Question

Lord Bramha was captured and put in Jail? Why this was done?

Answer 1

It was during the days when Shiva and Parvati lived at Kailas with their children Ganapati and Muruga. One day, the Creator God Brahma, one among the Holy Trinity (Brahma – Vishnu – Maheshwara) came to see Shiva. The boy Muruga chatted with Brahma and casually asked if he knew the meaning of the Holy Mantra ‘Aum’ (Om). The Creator was a little embarrassed and had to confess his ignorance. Muruga, the ever playful boy, taken aback by the ignorance of Brahma, shut him in a room as a punishment.

Childish prank it was for a boy, but the whole universe was affected by this, since the Creator himself was held captive. Creation stood at standstill. Alarmed at the situation, Devas prayed to Shiva to free Brahma. Shiva came to know what had happened and asked his dear son to release Brahma. Later, Shiva asked the young boy: “You imprisoned Brahma alleging he doesn’t know the meaning of Pranava. But, do you know it yourself?”

“Yes, father”, said the child. The curious father asked him to explain then. However, Muruga said “For that, father, you must accept me as your Guru and bow down to me just as a disciple to a Guru”. Shiva smiled and readily agreed. Seated on his father’s lap, the young boy Muruga in his sweet childish voice explained to Shiva the meaning of the adimantra Om as no one would. The astonished but proud father blessed the child who was after all the very Fruit of Knowledge. This initiation happened at Swami malai. Hence Muruga here is called Swaminathan, the Lord of Swami (Shiva) Himself . -

Well, are you ready to listen to a story? Let me tell you the story. Legend has it that once in Tiruvannamalai (which incidentally is the place where Ramana Maharshi lived most of his life) Brahma and Vishnu had a competition. Brahma was to travel upward and reach the very top of Lord Siva (who was standing as Agni Linga there) and Vishnu was to find the foot. That was a stupendous task! Whoever reaches his respective destination first, wins. So, they started off and kept going. Lord Siva was standing in immense proportions as a pillar of fire. Brahma took the form of a Swan and flew upwards. Vishnu became a wild boar and drilled down the earth. No, the end was not in sight. While Brahma was on his way, he met a screw-pine flower (thAzampU), which was falling from Lord Siva's head. So, tired of going further up, Brahma decided to seek the false witness of the flower. Vishnu returned without success. Brahma met him and claimed to have reached the top; the flower 'bore witness' to the claim. However, Brahma's deceit was found. It was cursed that Brahma would never be worshipped in a temple and that the screw-pine would never be used for worship of Gods in any temple. So, that is the story.

Answer 3

Once when Brahma, the lord of all creations was proceeding to Kailasa, the ever-playful child Lord Muruga asked him for the meaning of the Pranava OM. When Brahma admitted his ignorance, the Lord imprisoned him. With Brahma imprisoned, all creations came to a standstill and the devas prayed to Lord Siva to get Brahma released. When Muruga insisted that the imprisonment was a just punishment for the ignorance of Brahma, Lord Siva asked him whether he himself knew the meaning of the primordial Pranava OM. Lord Muruga said that he knew the meaning of OM and can expound it to the latter only if he can accept him as guru and listen to the exposition as a devoted disciple. As Lord Siva acceded to the request of Lord Muruga and heard the exposition of OM as a disciple, the place came to be known as Swamimalai and the presiding deity as Swaminathan.
