It is visual to designate Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva as Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer respectively; but the generalization is by no means well maintained in the Hindu books. [Sidenote: The Avatara.] The Puranas are in general violently sectarian; some being Vishnuite, others Sivite. It is in connection with Vishnu, especially, that the idea of incarnation becomes prominent. IT IS VISUAL TO DESIGNATE BRAHMMA VISHNU AND SHE WERE AS CREATOR RESERVER AND DESTROYER RESPECTUALLY BUT THE GENERALIZATION IS BY NO MEANS WELL MAINTAINED IN THE HINDU BOOKS THE PURANAS ARE IN GENERAL VIOLENTLY SECTAVIAN SOME BEING WISSHNU WHITE AND OTHERS SI WHITE IT IS IN CONNECTION WITH WISSHNU ESPECIALLY THAT THE IDEA OF INCARNATION BECOMES PROMINENT
erversion of the Vedic texts. Woman, in fact, has fallen far below the position assigned her in early days. [Sidenote: The Trimurtti, a triad of gods.] One of the notable things in connection with the reconstruction of Hinduism is the position it gives to the Trimurtti, or triad of gods--Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva. Something like an anticipation of this has been presented in the later Vedic times: fire, air, and the sun (Agni, Vayu, and Surya) being regarded by the commentator[24] as summing up the divine energies. But in the Vedas the deities often go in pairs; and little stress should be laid on the idea of a Vedic triad. That idea, however, came prominently forward in later days. The worship both of Vishnu and Siva may have existed, from ancient times, as popular rites not acknowledged by the Brahmans; but both of these deities were now fully recognized. The god Brahma was an invention of the Brahmans; he was no real divinity of the people, and had hardly ever been actually worshiped.
