==Trinity reference== == Images ==
Unless anybody has some good evidence as to why the word Trinity appears in this sentence:
"Bhrigu then set off to find the greatest among the Trinity."
Then I suggest it is replaced by the word triad.
Mind you a trinity is not 3 dieties, but 3 Persons (who's) in 1 Being (what).
Unless Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva inhabit 1 body, its a triad, or three different beings. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 16:56, 6 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Merge request ==
Seems like the Thai form of Brahma deserves attention in itself. If the articles are merged it will be important to retain attention to the Thai contexts of Brahma veneration as an important link to Hindu practices in Thailand, showing the continuity within the Indic/Dharmic religious tradtion into the wider context of Thai Buddhism. It might be worth coonsdiering a longer essay on Thai religion, or a more expanded discussion in the Thai Buddhism article of the role of the Hindu devas in Thai worship.

== Speculations on Biblical connections ==


== Didn’t he originally have five heads? ==
I found in the page talking about Abraham 'http://en.wikipedia.org/Abraham' a section called "Speculations on Hindu connections" that talks about alleged connections between biblical Abraham and hindu Brahma. So whether such a connection is true or not, i think if it is mentioned in the page of Abraham why isn't it in this article, too.
Well it should be since it is shared information about both, especially that it is supported by references.
I am not very good in wiki or even english so i did what i thought is best. I didn't know how to add the references. so if u can help that would be great.
the only thing i changed is the title from "Speculations on Hindu connections" to "Speculations on Biblical connections" since that would make more since when posted about the Hindu Brahma.

<deindent><br>
Yes, any etymological connection would have to be sourced to a scholarly source.<br>
AFAIK, the whole Brahma-Abraham link is based on an isolated quote from Voltaire's, 1764 '']'' () where he writes (emphasis added):
{{quotation|For the rest, this name of Bram, or Abram, was famous in Judæa and in Persia. Several of the learned even assert that he was the same legislator whom the Greeks called Zoroaster. '''''Others say that he was the Brahma of the Indians, which is not demonstrated.''''' But it appears very reasonable to many that this Abraham was a Chaldæan or a Persian, from whom the Jews afterwards boasted of having descended, as the Franks did of their descent from Hector, and the Britons from Tubal.}}
Given the minor and admittedly speculative sentence, I don't think this needs to be mentioned in the article; but if others feel otherwise, at least it is verifiable. However, references to hinduunity.org, cyberistan.org and viewzone.com, to establish currency of such beliefs is silly. <br>
There was a recent attempt by now-banned ] and his socks to draw links between Mohammad and the ] etc on various pages (see for example); I don't know if this is linked in anyway since another of his sock ] recently edited this article too. ] (]) 07:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

== Who told Vedas are 4?. It is five ==

<small>Comment moved from ], where it would never been seen. Also converted to lowercase to make it much easier tr read. ] (]) 15:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC)</small>

Who told Vedas are 4?. It is five

1. Rig Veda
2. Yajur Veda
3.Sama Veda
4.Adarva Veda
5.Pranava Veda

Veda Vyasan he redused Vedas 5 in to 4.

Thats why he clled as Veda Vysa. That means who reduced Veda known as Vysa.

And 1 thing is that

Brahma- Brihaspathi-Lord Viswakarma-(all are same we can see in Vedas in different Rik) has five heads

1.1st head-Brahma (Creation)
2.2nd head-Vishnu (Stiti)
3.3rd head-Rudra (Samharam)

According to Hindu mythology there Brahma has only 3 heads

But in Vedas not in Puranas

There are 2 heads also.each have different responsibilities.

4. 4th head-Maheswara (Thirobhavam)
5. 5th head- Sadasiva (Anugraham)

In Hindu mythology we can see all gods have troubles.

That time they preying for some one ? Who is that............?

That is creator. Lord Brahma.

In Hindu Pojja we are having Ganapathi Pooja,,,,,,,,,,?

Who is Ganapathi,,,,,,,,,,?

Ganam means a group. Pathi means head of something

So how can we cay this elephant headed shape can has a Pathi

In Puranas we can see he is son of Siva..

So how can he become Pathi of a group?

Thats what we can see Vyasa reduced Vedas. Because he want to reduce the importance of Brahma or Jagatpita or Viswakarma.

In Ganapathi Pooja we can understand that Manthra indicate or it giving for Brahma.....

That start from like that....

ommm sahasra sheersha purusha sahasraksha

sahasrapal....like.

According to Veda god is one

That is Brahma

He created all things Brahma the creator and almighty of entire universe

In Purana describes only based on earth but in Vedas it describer entire universe

That is the different between Vedas and Puranas <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 08:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
