According to later beliefs in the post-Vedic Era, the Prajapaties were elected democratically. Lord Vishnu was first elected democratically/unanimously as Prajapati (in the North of Aryavarta or Bharta) by all the Rishis and subjects of that era and sat on the throne of Prajapati. Thereafter, Lord Bràhma was elected as Prajapati (in the west of Aryavrat or Bharta), after which Lord Shankar (in the South of Aryavrat or Bharta) or Rudras were elected as Prajapaties. The throne of Prajapati succeeded further and there were about 26 Prajapaties, as mentioned in the Vedas.
Prajapati is a Vedic deity presiding over procreation, and the protection of life. He appears as a creator deity or supreme god vishvakarman above the other Vedic deities in RV 10 and in Brahmana literature. Vedic commentators also identify him with the creator referred to in the Nasadiya Sukta.

The Prajapati Youth Group was founded in 2005 in order to let the younger members of the Prajapati Samaj participate in our yearly events. This year, one of our goals is to make the Youth Group a more active organization by having social events throughout the year, including the annual picnic and Diwali show. In order to do this, we are striving to reach out to more of the youth in all of our participating regions. Not only will this enable us to learn more about each other, but it will also help us grow as a community.
We look forward to seeing all of you at our upcoming events!
