they never got the idea of 1 =3 = 1 = 3
the so-called hindu trinity gods didn't even all exist in the time of the vedas
it's not a reaction to trinity, it's something read into the corpus by western intellectuals
that hindus then took
there is no such thing as a non-western intellectual approach to religion
to explain their own religion
yeah, that the hindus then also took, but not in terms of practice
no, not at all
if this is at all occuring
it would be amongst the ranks of folks like the RSS
as hinduism mostly doesn't have rational explanations
who are like hindu salafists
Are you cargest or yarfy, @Yarf Mangione ?
it's heathenism
and local paganism
for the most part
Vishvamitra mentions the 3, 4, and 5 headed Brahma and is in the Rigveda
Sorry
Cargest
That wasn't it
the Brahma that is in the rigved is not the Brahma that become part of the trimurti, but even so
gods with multiple heads are not a trinity
Shiva is not in the vedas as anything but an epithet for Rdura
Rudra*
Vishnu I don't know
I don't believe he is in the vedas, but I could be wrong
yes even though shiva was already a seperate local god
that was probably carjack
that was found in the indus valley
Yeah Shiva was likely something they appropriated
they are reading shiva back onto the aryan god
Well, maybe not Shiva
just as the greeks did
but certainly aspects of Shiva
reading mercury onto odin
the deity that became shiva
it would be like going back to ancient greece, not knowing anything, seeing jupiter enthroned and presuming that's where jesus enthroned in heaven came from
and the answer is yes
I can see them adopting Latin artwork, it makes sense
>greece
>jupiter
