After numerous failed attempts, Aadishiva, finally succeeded in bringing forth three supreme beings—divine entities unlike any he had created before. These beings were majestic in their appearance, radiating an aura that distinguished them from all previous creations. Aadishiva named them Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma.
These three gods stood apart from the others. They were more mature, more composed, and imbued with wisdom. Each of them have their own unique characteristics, powers, and responsibilities that would define their roles in the universe. Their presence was awe-inspiring, and they emitted a powerful spiritual energy that echoed through the universe.
Lord Vishnu, , possessed dark blue skin like the deep ocean—calm yet boundless. He was adorned in royal garments, richly embroidered and studded with divine jewels. His appearance was both commanding and compassionate. He had four arms, each holding a sacred object of immense symbolic power.
In one hand, he held the Shankha (conch), whose sound represents the primordial Om—the vibration from which all creation emerges. In his second hand was the Chakra (discus), symbolizing the wheel of time and the eternal cycle of universal order. His third hand carried the Gada (mace), representing strength, power, and divine authority. The fourth hand held a Lotus, a symbol of beauty, purity, and the blossoming of spiritual consciousness. Each object was not merely a weapon but a symbol of Vishnu's role in preserving and upholding dharma, the cosmic law.
Lord Shiva, had white-brown skin, symbolizing both ash and earth. He was clad in tiger and elephant skins, signifying his mastery over primal forces and his fearsome power as a divine hunter and ascetic. Upon his head was the crescent moon, a symbol of the eternal cycle of time, change, and renewal. This moon reflected Shiva's deep connection with rhythm and regeneration in the universe.
His weapon was the Trishul (trident), an embodiment of his dominance over the three realms physical, mental, and spiritual and his ability to destroy ignorance, ego, and attachment. Shiva's presence was calm, yet charged with potential energy representing destruction not as an end, but as a necessary path to transformation, growth, and enlightenment.
Lord Brahma, had pale red skin, a hue representing life, vitality, and the dawn of existence. He had four heads, each facing a different direction, enabling him to observe and understand the entirety of creation. Like the others, Brahma also had four arms.
In one hand, he held the Vedas, the sacred texts containing divine knowledge and wisdom. In another, he carried a set of prayer beads, which he used to measure time and mark the passage of cosmic yuga cycles. The third hand held the Brahmshira, a powerful divine weapon capable of taking any form but it's original form is a lotus . This weapon signified Brahma's capacity to protect creation with adaptability and divine precision. The fourth hand held a Kamandal (water pot), filled with the elements essential for creation, symbolizing the beginning of life and the nurturing power of nature.
Once the three gods emerged in their complete divine forms, they approached Aadishiva with humility and reverence. They knelt on their one knee before their Aadishivas and offered their greetings .
"Greetings my lord"they said in unison.
Their maturity and wisdom were evident—they were capable of discerning truth, judging rightly, and guiding other creations on their paths.
Aadishiva was overwhelmed with joy, looked upon them with pride. For the first time after countless failures, he had created something that felt complete.
"Stand up," he said warmly. "Today, I am truly happy. After so many setbacks, I have finally achieved great success."
The three gods rose and stood in silence, listening carefully as Aadishiva's tone became serious. It was now time to assign them their roles—roles that would decide the fate of the universe.
Turning to Brahma, Aadishiva said, "You shall be the God of Creation. It will be your responsibility to bring forth all living beings. You will impart to them the essential knowledge needed for life, growth, and spiritual development. You shall sow the seeds of thought, culture, and innovation."
To Shiva, he declared, "You shall be the God of Destruction. But understand, your role is not malevolent. Your destruction will clear the old and flawed creations to make way for the new creations. Through you, the universe will undergo transformation. You will guide souls through hardships and help them overcome illusions to reach enlightenment. Your power will break down falsehood, allowing truth to emerge."
Finally, he turned to Vishnu and said, "You shall be the God of Preservation. You will maintain balance in the universe and ensure that good prevails over evil. You will protect the moral order the dharma and restore harmony whenever it is disturbed. Your presence will be the anchor that keeps the universe stable ."
Thus, the trinity was formed—Brahma, the creator; Shiva, the destroyer; and Vishnu, the preserver. Together, they would maintain the balance of the universe, each performing his role in harmony with the others .
Aadishiva watched them with hope and confidence. For the first time, the universe had guardians capable of guiding it toward equilibrium. In their hands lay the fate of all creation, and Aadishiva knew they would fulfill their destinies with wisdom, strength, and graces.
This event started a new journey that no one can predict not even Adishiva.
