Trimurties
The purpose of the Trinity is to represent the three fundamental forces of the universe that maintain the cosmic cycle of existence.
Lord Brahma (Creator): To bring the universe and all life forms into existence, providing the "stage" for karma and evolution.
Lord Vishnu (Maintainer ): To preserve order (Dharma), protect life, and maintain balance through various avatars whenever chaos rises.
Lord Shiva (Dissolver ): To dissolve the old and the stagnant, making space for a new cycle of creation. He is the transformer.
The Trinity also governs the three qualities that exist in every person and every atom:
Brahma aligns with Raja guna (Activity/Passion).
Vishnu aligns with Sattva guna (Harmony/Purity).
Shiva aligns with Tamo guna (Inertia/Dissolution).
