Hinduism talks about the concept of Trimurthi (a Sanskrit
word for three forms). In chanting
parlance, Trimurthi is worshipped as ‘Bhrama-Vishnu-Maheshwara’ and also
referred to as the Great Trinity or the Hindu Triad. The concept personifies
the cosmic functions of creation, preservation and destruction by the forms of
Bhrama, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver and Shiva, the destroyer (or
transformer). These three functions are true for everything in the universe
from the macrocosm to the microcosm. The three forms are infact manifestation
of One person in different forms. The One person is Swayam Bhagavan or absolute
God.
Trimurthi is complete with their concepts Tridevi.
Brahma, the creator needs knowledge and wisdom, so his
consort is Saraswathi (goddess of learning, arts and cultural fulfilment)
Vishnu, the preserver needs wealth, so his consort is
Lakshmi (goddess of wealth, fertility and material fulfilment).
Shiva, the destroyer needs power, so his consort is
Parvati (goddess of power, love and spiritual fulfilment).
Thus the Tridevi concept logically falls with Trimurthi
concept, which sustains the universe.
Let us thank them for all that we have and pray to them
for proper well being of everything in this universe. Let us also play our
small part peacefully and wisely in this beautiful universe.
