The Trimurti (Trinity) of Hinduism: 3 manifestations of Brahman, Brahma is the source, the seed
and the creator of all beings in this world. Brahma originated from Brahman, or rather Brahman
became Brahmâ, just as he became Vishnu and Śhiva. Brahma was the original Narayana (the creator
of men), a title, which was later transferred to Vishnu.
- Brahmâ is like the Father, the creatorr, the cosmic mind.
- Vishnu, his wife Lakshmi, he is the prreserver, the cosmic lord. His last 3 incarnations were Rama, Krishna, and Buddha.
- Śhiva, also known as Rudra ("howller"), his wife Umâ. He is destroyer of the bad things to renew the universe, the transcendent Godhead.
