Hindus: Why It Takes The Trimuti(3 Gods) For All God's Forms and Sri Lalita (1 Goddess) for All Goddess Forms?

Question

The Sri Lalita Sahasranama contains all Names of the Goddess and She is Mahadevi, each & every Forms. Why does it take the Trimurti to create multiple God Forms?

Sami; I respect you & your religion, but please do not answer when you are not concerned. I asked for Hindu answers, from shaktas & bhaktas, thank you.

Answer 1

Mother Lalitha you are mentioning or the DEVI or SHAKTI THE THE SUPREME. This Shakti, or Devi Mata -- the Hindu name for the Great Divine Mother -- in all of her forms whilst not rejecting the importance of masculine and neuter divinity (which are however deemed to be inactive in the absence of the Shakti). In pure Shaktism, the Great Goddess, or Mahadevi, is worshiped as nothing less than the highest divinity, Supreme Brahman Itself, the "one without a second," with all other forms of Divinity, female or male, considered to be merely her diverse manifestations. Even the Trimurti (SHIVA, VISHNU AND BRAHMA) are also her diverse manifestation only.

The Kaula Siddanta tells that, Adishakti is the basic energy
Time was hidden in her, One day she dicides to create the Shristi, So she divides herself into three parts...with a very big sound, The parts are Creation...Status..and Distruction
They are Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, But Brahma created all animals apart from Human, Vishnu become poor by looking after the living creatures, and Shiva exausted by loosing energy, because he is the god of old age and death.

So Adishakti divided herslef again into 3 parts, By becoming Vidya she helped to create humans, By becoming Laxmi she helped Vishnu to look after, By becoming Shakti she fulfilled enrgy into shiva, That is why she is greatest Mother Jagadamba.

All are DEVI'S CHILDREN ONLY-

Answer 2

Every Hindu school has a different idea about creation and the universe. Depending on what your spiritual proclivities are (do you worship Mahadevi in one or more of her forms, or do you prefer Shiva or Vishnu), the beliefs and practices will emphasize one personage over another.

When you get down to it, though, there is only Brahman, and the various gods and goddesses are all just different ways of experiencing the Divine.

Answer 3

Hey Devi,

The Hindu idea of God is based on the Supreme Bramhan, or the Supreme Super Conscious Soul and its Shakti. Herein according to the Shakta branch Adi Shakti manifests itself into the three karak Gods and their respective Spouses. Bramha-Saraswati, Vishnu-Laksmi, and Shankar-Parvati. these three are known as the Trinurti.
According to the Shaivas it is Shiv (the Supreme Soul) who manifests itself into the three said forms.
The view of Shaktas and Shaivas can be explained as their wanting to see their principle God as the only cause.

But looking deep into the matter we realize that the two Shiva and Shakti are one neither is anything without the other.

The trimurtis are the representations of the three attributes of the Supreme Soul ( Combination of Shiva and Shakti) namely G=Generator(Bramha), O=Operator(Vishnu), and D=Destroyer(Shankara). So in effect all the God forms are the attributial (if thts a wrd) representations of the Bramhan (Shiv-Shakti combo) itself.

As the mythology flows we see these three primary Gods manifest themselves into different Gods for definite purposes and their prodigies too as a part or thier own energies which in turn is nothing but the manifestation of the Supreme Self itself.

Lalita Shahasranaam as well as Durga Shaptashati place Adi Shakti as the focal point of all creation. If we see Shakti is the force behind the energy which is Shiva. Together they form the Supreme Soul.

As for the trimurti and just one Shakti as you say manifest in different god-forms, it simple states the unifying force in all of us that is the feminine force, without which its often seen that the purusha is rendered helpless. To recognise this power is why the femenine manifestations are clubbed and representated as one.

My answer might arise a doubt about Shiva and Shankar where I say tht Shiva is a part of the Supreme Soul and Shankar is one of the trimurtis. Please follow the link where I have tried to explain the difference between the two:

Answer 4

I'm not sure if I understand your question, hindus generally only belive in one god and all the other gods are just parts of them

its somethin symbolic, to do with representation and help us consentrate on one thing when praying or meditating, its also to tell them to concentrate on the task at hand

Answer 5

Because females are 3 times as effecient as males. Humans and Gods have this in common.

Answer 6

Divine mother is of various forms whatever u say kali,laxmi etc but remember all are the same ALMIGHTY is ruling the world.

Answer 7

only Islam who stated that God is one
God is the creator
everything else is creations
I'm Muslim
I read Qur'aan, and find it convenient with modern science, and all facts around me
I find Qur'aan describe God as Most gracious, Most Merciful, Most powerful
I find Qur'aan orders us to be good people, to help others to be better, and develop everything to the better case
I'm sure Qur'aan is the word of God
Qur'aan did not describe any prophet as drugged, or sinner like others books
So, I'm sure Qur'aan is the word of God, and Islam is the religion of God
