Trimurti
The BK trimurti are Brahma the creator, Vishnu the sustainer]], and Shankar the destroyer.
This is similar to the Hindi trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, except that the BKs distinguish between Shankar and Shiva (which are the same deity to Hindus), and portray Shiva as the supreme soul shining over all three of the trimurti.
The trimurti is similar to the astrology concept of rising, fixed, and mutable signs - the three stages represent the growth, maturity, and decline of any and every living thing.
Thus the trimurti is symbolic - a representation of three interrelated aspects of life/existance.
