Here you will find the description of the Gods and Godesses in Hinduism.
The Hindu trinity is of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. They are respectively the creator, preserver and destroyer of the universe. They are also aligned as the transcendent Godhead, Shiva, the cosmic lord, Vishnu and the cosmic mind, Brahma. In this regard they are called Sat-Tat-Aum, the Being, the That ness or immanence and the Word or holy spirit. This is much like the Christian trinity of God as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The trinity represents the Divine in its threefold nature and function. Each aspect of the trinity contains and includes the others.
Each God in the trinity has his consort. To
Brahma is Saraswati, the Goddess of
knowledge. For Vishnu is Lakshmi, the Goddess
of love, beauty and delight. For Shiva is Kali (Parvati)
, the Goddess of power, destruction and transformation. These are the three main
forms of the Goddess, as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the three main forms of
the God. The three Goddesses are often worshipped in their own right as well as
along with their spouses.
