The Hindu Tirnity has always been of some intrest to me. And it is an intresting concept, as the idea of some sort of divine tirnity seems to appear in many different beleif systems, but the Hindu Tirnity can be seen as being in some ways simillar to that Holy Tirnity, in that, it can be arguged that the Trinity consists of either 3 individual different beings, or as some would say, are all different ascpets of one single being.
The Hindu Trinity consiststs of:
Brahma: the Creator who is continuing to create new realities
Vishnu, (Krishna): the Preserver, who preserves these new creations. Whenever dharma (eternal order, righteousness, religion, law and duty) is threatened, Vishnu travels from heaven to earth in one of ten incarnations.
Shiva:the Destroyer, is at times compassionate, erotic and destructive.
Now these can be seen are three individual beings, and are are presonified as such. In which each one can be individualy worshiped from the other, but at the same time, they are also classified as being three different faces/personas/aspects of the same being, and that all three are acutally one.
