11. TRIMURTHY
The root of decimation came with several sects giving their devotion and worship to one of the Triad which caused it to split into four major sects.
• •
Saivites who worshipped Siva. Brahama worship which eventually bowed out. All over India we have only a few temples in the world where Brahma is worshipped. "Lord Brahma has only 3 temples, all in India, one at Pushkar Lake in Ajmer, another in Khokhan - Kullu Valley and the other at Khedabrahma in Kerala." (http://www.boloji.com/hinduism/103.htm) Instead, his image stand in niches on the walls of temples built for other deities as an attendant deity.
Original concept of Brahma as Father of all creation
Brahma-Karmali idol
• In its place Vaishnavites came into existence who worshipped Vishnu as a male person who
took active role as a female principle to dupe and to get primacy. • Sakthism who worshipped the female principle Sakthi which means Power.
