Holy Ghost.
The Christian triune God is believed to have three members or persons — Father,Son,and Holy Ghost. In Hinduism,the gods Brahma,Vishnu,and Shiva comprise a trinity of creation,preservation,and destruction. In Anthroposophy,the Holy Trinity consists of the creative forces of the physical world,the divine forces imminent in the present,and the divinity yet to be realized in the future. The three divinities seen as a single triune God in Christianity are separate gods in Anthroposophy,although — as in Hinduism — they may be seen as comprising the Godhead.
