Why Brahma is not worshipped?

Bhrigu’s Kick

Once many great sages were conducting an important yagya at Mandarachal mountain. The sages were arguing about which of the three Gods should be the presiding deity of that yagya. When they could not arrive at a conclusion, they all gave the task to sage Bhrigu to test the three Gods and decide who the presiding deity of the yajna should be.

In order to test the three Gods, Bhrigu rishi first went to Kailash, the abode of Bhagwaan Shankar. Shivji was spending time with His wife Sati at that moment - so Nandi and the other guards did not allow him to meet Shivji. Bhrigu rishi got angry and cursed Shivji to be worshiped in phallic form.

After that, Brighu rishi went to Brahm-lok. Brahmadev was so busy in conversation with other Gods that he forgot to greet the great sage properly or even offer him a place to sit. Bhrigu rishi got extremely angry and cursed Brahmadev that he will not be worshipped at all.

Thus, already filled with anger, the great sage went to Vaikunthlok to meet Bhagwaan Vishnu. Vishnuji was sleeping and did not see Bhrigu rishi when he arrived. Bhrigu rishi in a fit of rage kicked Narayan on his chest. The kick woke Shri Hari but instead of getting angry, Vishnuji started massaging the great sage’s foot and asked him if his foot was hurt because of his strong chest. This behaviour melted all the anger of Bhrigu rishi and he decided to select Vishnu ji as the presiding deity of the great yagya and that he be widely worshipped for his kind behaviour.
