Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
In Hindu mythology, time is not a straight line. It is a series of cycles. At the top sits the Trimurti: three functions of one single principle. Brahma creates. Vishnu preserves. Shiva destroys so that renewal is possible.
This course follows Vishnu and Shiva, the two liveliest pillars of that trinity. Their attributes, their incarnations and their symbols show how Hinduism holds together life and death, order and transformation.
