How did the Hindu Trinity affect a Hindu’s Life?

Extreme power. Choose one. To start, no one founded Hinduism. Hinduism has existed for thousands of years. Most say it is the result of the merging of ideas between native peoples and ancient invaders. There are two main holy books in Hinduism. They are called the Vedas and the Upanishads In the Hinduism religion, there are three main gods. Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva. Brahma is the creator of the universe while Vishnu is the preserver of life and on the other hand, Shiva is the destroyer of ignorance. Hinduists can choose to follow specific God which means they can follow a separate path for themselves to continue on in their religion. These Gods can greatly impact their lives, therefore the

According to the article, Decoding the Trinity “In Hindu mythology, there are three worlds, three Goddesses, and three Gods. The three Gods include Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva who create, sustain and destroy.

It is the transcendence of all Arthas. It is achieved by overcoming ignorance and desires” (Editors of BBC).

The highest part of the society, the Brahmins (priests), have a higher chance of reaching Moksha, while the list goes down the caste system (Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Sudras).
