Prayers offered by Lord Brahma to Lord Krishna

To personally witness God's pastimes and reaction means Lord Brahma was quite confused and wanted to check his mystic power, he thought to take test. One day Lord Brahma steals the boys and calves while they were all lunching with Shree Krishna and kept them all hidden and sleeping for one year...

Lord Brahma returned after a moment ( assumed as one year(per our solar calculation))to see what happened actually. Lord Brahma saw that Krishna had expanded himself and transformed into the many stolen boys and calves into Lord Visnu forms for this full one year, so that the mothers of his friends,cows are not disturbed and also to show lord Brahma the supremacy of Godhead.

Lord Brahma was so much perplexed and not able to understand the extraordinary mystic powers of Lord Krishna and then when God raised the curtain of maya Lord Brahma realized his actual position and offered his prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Lord Brahma Is Not Considered As God In Hinduism But As A Creation Of God

Hindu Lord Brahma - A Creation Of God

The Hindu God of creation, God Brahma is among the three Gods that form the Tridev, Trimurti or the Holy Trinity, the other two gods being God Vishnu and God Shiva. In Sanskrit, the word Brahma means masculine Brahman. In Puranas Lord Brahma has been described as self-born, when they depict the story of Brahma’s birth from the lotus flower in the navel of Lord Vishnu at the foundation of the universe.

Hindu God Brahma has got the other name as Kanja - water born and the legend according to Purana is there behind this name. It is said that he was born in water. That seed was turned into the golden egg and later into the entire Universe of Lord Brahma.

According to legend, Brahma have created eleven Prajapatis named
Narada,
Atri,
