I cannot remember his multiheaded form right now, but he had four in it (Brahma can have four heads too)

2017-02-12 18:15:50 UTC  

the odinic trinity predates teh brahmic trinity

2017-02-12 18:16:00 UTC  

the brahmic trinity is probably a reaction to christianity

2017-02-12 18:16:22 UTC  

as it's a cool concept

2017-02-12 18:16:22 UTC  

Well it symbolises the 3 vedas, the 4th veda being added later

2017-02-12 18:16:38 UTC  

I am quite sure it predates Christianity by hundreds of years actually

2017-02-12 18:16:39 UTC  

they have different trinities more similar to the gree ktrinity

2017-02-12 18:16:46 UTC  

of zeus, poseidon, and hades

2017-02-12 18:16:51 UTC  

it doesn't

2017-02-12 18:17:16 UTC  

8th century ce

2017-02-12 18:17:32 UTC  

hundreds of years after proto-germanic odin

2017-02-12 18:17:34 UTC  

I never dated all the heads to check

2017-02-12 18:17:35 UTC  

and christ

2017-02-12 18:17:38 UTC  

but the vedas do

2017-02-12 18:17:46 UTC  

the vedas do not have a brahmic trinity

2017-02-12 18:18:05 UTC  

I noticed buddhists have it as well such as bonten

2017-02-12 18:18:06 UTC  

or any sort of trinity other than groups of gods who come in auspicious numbers

2017-02-12 18:18:08 UTC  

like 3 and 4

2017-02-12 18:19:08 UTC  

I need to check something I can reference

2017-02-12 18:19:40 UTC  

they never got the idea of 1 =3 = 1 = 3

2017-02-12 18:19:52 UTC  

the so-called hindu trinity gods didn't even all exist in the time of the vedas

2017-02-12 18:20:26 UTC  

it's not a reaction to trinity, it's something read into the corpus by western intellectuals

2017-02-12 18:20:35 UTC  

that hindus then took

2017-02-12 18:20:35 UTC  

there is no such thing as a non-western intellectual approach to religion

2017-02-12 18:20:44 UTC  

to explain their own religion

2017-02-12 18:20:45 UTC  

yeah, that the hindus then also took, but not in terms of practice

2017-02-12 18:20:48 UTC  

no, not at all

2017-02-12 18:20:55 UTC  

if this is at all occuring

2017-02-12 18:21:02 UTC  

it would be amongst the ranks of folks like the RSS

2017-02-12 18:21:07 UTC  

as hinduism mostly doesn't have rational explanations

2017-02-12 18:21:08 UTC  

who are like hindu salafists

2017-02-12 18:21:10 UTC  

Are you cargest or yarfy, @Yarf Mangione ?

2017-02-12 18:21:12 UTC  

it's heathenism

2017-02-12 18:21:15 UTC  

and local paganism

2017-02-12 18:21:20 UTC  

for the most part

2017-02-12 18:21:20 UTC  

Vishvamitra mentions the 3, 4, and 5 headed Brahma and is in the Rigveda

2017-02-12 18:21:21 UTC  

Sorry

2017-02-12 18:21:25 UTC  

Cargest

2017-02-12 18:21:39 UTC  

That wasn't it

2017-02-12 18:21:40 UTC  

Carjack

2017-02-12 18:21:45 UTC  

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