In the very beginning of time, it is said that the whole world was an ocean. And in it floated a solitary lotus leaf. But even in this beginning of beginnings, there was already an eye that watched. The lotus leaf grew from the belly button of Vishnu and it was his eye that watched. And then there is the beginning with the Devi. While other gods went about creating, she already existed within the forest. When she opened her eyes, life burst into being.
