Who is "Robare"? Unlinked, the name is mentioned once and never again. Sloppy!
Would it be possible to include dates for the historical material, please?  I'm trying to follow up on the development of concepts of divine Trinity generally, and terms like the Brahmapa period convey nothing to me.  (Sorry to be Eurocentric.)—Copey--203.109.252.196 03:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: From the article:
Freda Matchett characterizes the Trimurti system as one of "several frameworks into which various divine figures can be fitted at different levels."
Why should the world care about how this Freda Matchett characterizes an idea/entity that has been around for thousands of years? This looks like a clever marketing strategy to somehow lend credibility to this person.  Please note that the above line does not really add anything significant to the article. The statement does not even make any sense. The fact that only western books are referred here is very sad.

message: The intro asserts that Trimurti is similar to the unforgetable "traditional view" of the Christian Trinity, yet the illustrative quote from Swami Sivananda describes a view that corresponds to modalism, which was rejected as heretical in the third century. Is there some other source that illustrates this differently, so as to justify the statement in the intro? TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: I would like to introduce a couple of references that will question the extent to which the trimurti system actually represents a major force in Hindu thinking, as opposed to a Western "packaging" of some Hindu ideas.  I mention this prior to doing so because it is possible that this material will not be familiar to other other editors.  Currently the article lead has an unsorced linkage between the trimurti and Smarta tradition, which as far as I know is unfounded.  Orthodox Smarta practice involves worship of five primary deities with the option for substitution of an ishta devata of the worshippers choice.  Also, there are simply not very many references to the trimurti system in Indian literature, according to Winternitz.  I would like to put out a call for all the regular editors on this article to assist me in locating references that will pin down the prevalence of this concept in Hindu sources, as opposed to Western sources.

replies: text: In my own search for references in older Hindu sources, the only one that comes up as as an unambiguous reference prior to contact with Western influences is now cited in the article (Kūrma Purana, 1.6;  1.9; 1.26).  There may be more, but I need help in locating them.  I would like to find when references to the Trimurti first appeared in Western literature and suspect that it may have had something to do with the Theosophical Society, but I am not familiar with their literature.

message: I have located another good source for evolution of the concept in The Cultural Heritage of India and will add some citations to it which are along the same lines of the other debunking material that has previously been added.  We are now down to a fairly well-sourced but shorter article.  I think we have enough material on the origin of the idea now so some adjustment to the sections will help get the new material in.

message: ::However, this argument overlooks the obvious correlation of Brahmā with Brahman. The identification of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva as one being is strongly emphasized in the Kūrma Purāṇa, wherein 1.6 Brahman is worshipped as Trimurti; 1.9 especially inculcates the unity of the three gods, and 1.26 relates to the same theme.
At article , second last paragraph, Bramha is compared with Bramhan. Above mentioned shlokas (1.6 and 1.9 and 1.26 do not confuse Bramha with Bramhan).
It just seems to be the view of the editor. killer bee  10:01, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
