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

they have different trinities more similar to the gree ktrinity

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

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

Carjack

the Brahma that is in the rigved is not the Brahma that become part of the trimurti, but even so
