I found this on some other forum a few weeks ago, I forget where, but I decided I'd like to share it with y'all since I don't think it is common knowledge. I think this is Kishi's inspiration for the three eyes
The Trimurti (English: ‘three forms’; Sanskrit: त्रिमूर्ति trimūrti) is a concept in Hinduism "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the maintainer or preserver, and Śiva the destroyer or transformer. These three deities have been called "the Hindu triad" or the "Great Trinity".
Brahma (Byakugan)
Brahma is traditionally depicted with four heads (approx. 360 degree field of vision?) and four faces and four arms. Brahmā developed five heads, one on each side and one above the others. In order to control Brahmā, Shiva cut off one of the heads. Brahma is all-knowing.
One of his hands is shown holding a scepter in the form of a spoon, which is associated with the pouring of holy ghee or oil into a sacrificial pyre, indicating that Brahma is the lord of sacrifices (Hyuuga branch house makes sacrifices for the main house).
Another of his hands holds a water-pot (sometimes depicted as a coconut shell containing water). The significance of the water is that it is the initial, all-encompassing ether (chakra) in which the first element of creation evolved.
Shiva (Sharingan)
The name Shiva, in one interpretation, is also said to have derived from the Dravidian word “Siva” meaning “to be red”. It is the equivalent of Rudra, “the red” RigVeda (Encyclopedia of Indian Tribes By Shyam Singh Shashi, p. 190)
Shiva as we know him today shares many features with the Vedic god Rudra[39] and both Shiva and Rudra are viewed as the same personality in a number of Hindu traditions. Rudra, the god of the roaring storm, is usually portrayed in accordance with the element he represents as a fierce, destructive deity.
Rudra and Agni (the god of fire) have a close relationship. The identification between Agni and Rudra in the Vedic literature was an important factor in the process of Rudra's gradual development into the later character as Rudra-Shiva.[52] The identification of Agni with Rudra is explicitly noted in the Nirukta, an important early text on etymology, which says "Agni is called Rudra also".[53] The interconnections between the two deities are complex, and according to Stella Kramrisch:
The fire myth of Rudra-Śiva plays on the whole gamut of fire, valuing all its potentialities and phases, from conflagration to illumination.
In the Śatarudrīa, some epithets of Rudra such as Sasipa?jara ("Of golden red hue as of flame") and Tivaṣīmati ("Flaming bright") suggest a fusing of the two deities.[55] In medieval sculpture both Agni and the form of Shiva known as Bhairava have flaming hair as a special feature (sasuke's flame-like hair)
Shiva formed the third eye (Sh, MS, EMS?) to restore order and fire emerged from his third eye to re-create light. The fierce light from his third eye is so powerful and destructive that henceforth he only opens it to destroy all that is unconscious, dark, and dualistic, in this dancing universe (sounds like Amaterasu)
Shiva is often shown garlanded with a snake and has a crescent moon on his forehead (any association with how Sasuke remembered the moon on THAT night?)
note: the third eye being related to the sharingan further adds to my theory that Kakashi is the next (6th) Hokage which I describe in detail here:
Vishnu (Rinnegan)
The traditional Sanskrit explanation of the name Viṣṇu involves the root viś, meaning "to settle, to enter", or also (in the Rigveda) "to pervade". (like how he "pervades" dead bodies?)
Vishnu is described as the All-Pervading essence of all beings, the master of—and beyond—the past, present and future, the creator and destroyer of all existences, one who supports, sustains and governs the Universe and originates and develops all elements within
Vishnu possesses six such divine glories, namely,
* J?āna Omniscient; defined as the power to know about all beings simultaneously;
* Aishvarya Sovereignty, which persist in unchallenged rule over all;
* Shakti Energy, or power, which is the capacity to make the impossible possible;
* Bala Strength, which is the capacity to support everything by his will and without any fatigue;
* Virya Vigour, or valour which indicates the power to retain immateriality as the Supreme Spirit or Being in spite of being the material cause of mutable creations;
* T?jas Resplendent, or Splendour, which expresses his self-sufficiency and the capacity to overpower everything by his spiritual effulgence; cited from Bhakti Schools of Vedanta, by Swami Tapasyananda.
That's it for now... thoughts?
