What are your thoughts on Hinduism? Has anyone else considered this religion?

Hindu Trinity Anonymous 01/05/15 (Mon) 14:22:34 No.482

From Wiki: The "Trimūrti" (/trɪˈmʊərti/;[1] Sanskrit: त्रिमूर्तिः trimūrti, "three forms") is a concept in Hinduism "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the maintainer or preserver and Shiva the destroyer or transformer." These three gods have been called "the Hindu triad" or the "Great Trinity", often addressed as "Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara."

Did that during a strong doubt in parts of my faith (Buddhism) this summer.
Read the Bhagavad Gita 2 times, I can feel quite strongly the Buddhist influence there lel

Does anyone here know if the Hindu concept of the trinity predates the Christian one?

It probably doesn't. Why?

It does, but it isn't a proper trinity.
They are all the major Brahman, but 3 different emanations in form of Devas

The trimurti isn't that relevant even from a classical point of view(in Hindu theology and soiterology). Compare it to the Christian heresy of modalism-that's what I would say.

Read the Bhagavad Gita, its a classic.

Also check out Kashmir Shaivism.

Also Yoga Sutras of Patanjali:

1.17. Cognitive meditation is accompanied by reasoning, discrimination, bliss and the sense of 'I am.'

1.18. There is another meditation which is attained by the practice of alert mental suspension until only subtle impressions remain.

1.19. For those beings who are formless and for those beings who are merged in unitive consciousness, the world is the cause.

1.20. For others, clarity is preceded by faith, energy, memory and equalminded contemplation.

1.21. Equalminded contemplation is nearest to those whose desire is most ardent.

1.22. There is further distinction on account of the mild, moderate or intense means employed.

1.23. Or by surrender to God.

1.24. God is a particular yet universal indweller, untouched by afflictions, actions, impressions and their results.

1.25. In God, the seed of omniscience is unsurpassed.

1.26. Not being conditioned by time, God is the teacher of even the ancients.

I'm considering it. And I thought that Hinduism predated both Christianity and Buddhism, rather than being influenced from them?
