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

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
