Week 14: Wikipedia Trails From Brahma to

 Wikipedia Trails

Brahma

I have done some stories that include Brahma in them and I wanted to know a little more about him. I did not know he is included in trinity of gods including him, Vishnu, and Shiva. Brahma is also known as "The Creator" which is very interesting. He is highly recognized in Hinduism. It was interesting to read and learn just how important Brahma is to Hinduism. 

Shiva

After learning about Brahma, I wanted to look up his opposite. Shiva is also in the trinity of gods and he is known as "The Destroyer". I learned Shiva is basically the ruler of the world and can do just about anything to it. People of Hinduism would definitely not want to be Shiva's bad side because he could make their life not fun. 

Shaktism

I learned that Shaktism is one of the Hindu denominations. It has a Shakti which is basically the supreme ruler who is a woman. It has very many sub traditions and includes a lot of different goddesses with different systems.

Mahavidya

The Mahavidya makes up ten different goddesses in Shaktism. As well as there is ten different goddesses, there are also ten different facets that are involved in the Mahavidya and all of them have different names. They also all each have a corresponding avatar name to go with them.
