look at their jesus
altright then, I gues they are influenced by this
still I have no idea how this relates to odin
as compared to hinduism actually relating
this is closer to jupiter/odin
than vishnu is
I would compare Brahma to Odin
Brahma is the creator god
Brahma has 3 heads and is bearded
like odin and his two brothers
odin does not have three heads.
he does in one form actually
I cannot remember his multiheaded form right now, but he had four in it (Brahma can have four heads too)
the odinic trinity predates teh brahmic trinity
the brahmic trinity is probably a reaction to christianity
as it's a cool concept
Well it symbolises the 3 vedas, the 4th veda being added later
I am quite sure it predates Christianity by hundreds of years actually
of zeus, poseidon, and hades
it doesn't
8th century ce
hundreds of years after proto-germanic odin
I never dated all the heads to check
and christ
but the vedas do
the vedas do not have a brahmic trinity
I noticed buddhists have it as well such as bonten
or any sort of trinity other than groups of gods who come in auspicious numbers
like 3 and 4
I need to check something I can reference
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
