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
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
gods with multiple heads are not a trinity
Shiva is not in the vedas as anything but an epithet for Rdura
Rudra*
