There’s a unity of Brahma‚ Shiva and Vishnu as three persons in one Godhead. Shiva is known as “the destroyer”‚ Brahman is known as “creator”‚ and Vishnu is known as “protector”. As we see‚ they are so many similarities more than differences. That made me really surprised when I found those similarities
