The question is can I expound on the holy trinity or the principle of trinity or the concept of trinity that they are three devas in sanatan dharma. There is a holy trinity in Christianity as well. That is Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. When they have all emerged form the same supreme consciousness or soul then why do we consider them absolute or why do we differentiate and say there is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. This is a conceptual question. It’s a scriptural question. It is a matter of certain religious philosophy and we will have to go to the scriptures to answer it correctly.
It is said that Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Ishwar and Sadashiva are five aspects of creation. They are not necessarily different people but they are five aspects of creation. I would like to add something, which is my experiential understanding that I have experienced in my deep states of meditations, which you may quote as “in my opinion”. People or beings like Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu and many of the other devatas once roamed our planet for real. They are not mythical beings.
