"Once again, good to see you back. "Now, behave better."The existence or otherwise of reincarnation is separate from the question of theism.
Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu may be different forms, faces or aspects of the same celestial being. They make up the trimurti. The Holy Spirit, Christ and Father are seen as one yet seperate within the triune Christian God.
Reincarnation implies the existence of God/Gods/Goddesses, but I am an atheist. I do not think any Vaishnava denies existence of Gods other than Vishnu, though they give first position to Vishnu. For Shaivas and Shaktas, Shiva and the Mother Goddess Durga are supreme.
The trimurti of Brahma Vishnu and Shiva (Mahesh) leaves out the Mother Goddess Durga; so they cannot be compared to the Christian triune. That makes it a 'diune' instead of 'triune', Purusha and Prakriti, Shiva and Shakti. The Mother Goddess Durga is too strong to be ignored in Hinduism. Just because the number 3 is involved, the two concepts cannot be considered similar.
Of course, when it comes to Brahman, it is one only, but then you cannot have the division of Brahman and humans. Brahman is everything, living or non-living. So be happy in your belief which is different from what Hindus believe.
You know all this, Adrian, but you still persist in your pathetic attempt to make the two religions the same. Hinduism cannot be straight-jacketed. And any messengers from God or Allah will be rejected out-right in Hinduism as charlatans and frauds. Hinduism has no place for such critters.
Even Mother Sita prayed to Mother Gauri to be married to Lord Rama, and Krishna married Mother Rukmani at this temple of Mother HarSiddhi and got her blessings. Lord Rama worshiped Lord Shiva before departing on his campaign against Ravana in Rakeshwaram. Hinduism is polytheistic and has a different paradigm.
