Hinduism: is based on Vedas, which are the oldest sacred writings of the Hindus (2000-1000 BC); more recent Vedas are called Upanishads (ca. 600 BC); in Indian (Vedic) philosophy it holds that: The Atman ("Self") which is Brahman ("World Soul"); Hindu philosophy further holds that this World Soul should itself be regarded as being the Three-in-One God known as the Trimutri: Brahma-the Creator, Vishnu-the Preserver, and Shiva-the Destroyer, are all perceived as being aspects or manifestations of the One-ness which is Brahman.
