    have posted before. before 'Hinduism', it was 'Brahmanism', focused primarily on Brahma. Brahma is 'The Father'

    the Trimūrti - Brahma (creator), Vishnu (maintainer) & Shiva (destroyer) - is a much later cultural doctrine, post-Buddhism, could even be post-Christian (not sure, here). They are different forms of the One person called the Supreme Being (per Wiki).

    below from the original Buddhist scriptures, showing the cultural views from 500BC about 'Brahma'
