    Puruṣārtha -end aim of human life

    Dharma:-religious, social and/or moral) righteousness, both spiritual and ritual"
    Artha: -(material and/or financial) prosperity as well as pursuit of meaning
    Kāma:- " (dharmic) pleasure "(wikipedia meaning)enjoy all pleasures in control  ,never let pleasure  control you  (my meaning ){no offences intended }
    Mokṣa: "(spiritual ) liberation,at last let your ATMA  (soul) merge with your DIVINE CREATOR the ALMIGHTY GOD (PARATMA)
      


    how i interpret this ??
      
    You are ought to follow dharma the path of good and wellbeing of all people,along with you are supposed to earn money and prosperity but it is of no use unless you use it, hence use it, but being in control .because remember your ultimate aim is moksha the "salvation"  
     

    a revolutionary idea -how can I be a Godlike eg.indra,vishnu,mahesh ?(no offences intended)


     (no offences intended)

    I believe we are the soul (atma)and there is only one PARMATMA (THE ALMIGHTY GOD)
    the god like figures or minor deties like Indra, Agni,Pawan dev etc have there limitations and tenure
    eg.
    (according to the Brahma Purana and Hindu cosmology, Brahmā is regarded as the creator but not necessarily as God. Rather, He is regarded as a creation of God / Brahman. The lifespan of Brahmā is 100 Brahmā years, equivalent to 311,040,000,000,000 solar years (311 trillion and 40 billion Earth years). At the end of His lifespan, there will be a gap of 100 Brahmā years, after which another Brahmā or creator will begin the process of creation a new. This cycle is thought to repeat without end.) source wikipedia and all other websites "just google "
    so when their tenure ends ,the PRAMATMA or  HIS  SHAKTI appoints a new god on the basis of his capabilities and deeds than the gods according to their seniority of deeds and works can get that post  

    the question is how can you become a godlike figure  ????
    the answer is by your good deeds and moral behaviour

    the step are  very lengthy
    1) do good deeds in your mortal life (you are here means that your good and bad deeds were nearly  equal in your past births  )
    2) if you got "moksha". the salvation
    3)you will reach "swarga"
    4)rest is on your deeds there
    5)rest you can assume
    (no offences intended)

    Is there dictatorship of Holy Trinity or democracy ?

    there is no dictatorship of gods but the full democracy
    for example
    In the Brahma Purana and Hindu cosmology, Brahmā is regarded as the creator but not necessarily as God. Rather, He is regarded as a creation of God / Brahman. The lifespan of Brahmā is 100 Brahmā years, equivalent to 311,040,000,000,000 solar years (311 trillion and 40 billion Earth years). At the end of His lifespan, there will be a gap of 100 Brahmā years, after which another Brahmā or creator will begin the process of creation anew. This cycle is thought to repeat without end.

    in this way the things are also similar for all gods including Vishnu, Indra ,and mahesh also.in this way there is complete democracy among GODs being everybody a soul.a part of great soul

    The vishnu one of the three Gods from the holy Trinity,the major work area is preservation of whole universe
    The number of auspicious qualities of Vishnu as the supreme God power of three great trinity  are countless, with the following six qualities being the most important:
    • Jñāna (Omniscience), defined as the power to know about all beings simultaneously
    • Aishvarya (Sovereignty, derived from the word Ishvara), which consists 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 will and without any fatigue
    • Vīrya (Vigor), which indicates the power to retain immateriality as the supreme being in spite of being the material cause of mutable creations
    • Tejas (Splendor), which expresses His self-sufficiency and the capacity to overpower everything by His spiritual effulgence
    the lord vishnu takes avatara ;incarnations when there is fluctuation of justice on earth ,and destroys all immoral people .He is considered as supreme between three great trinity because "HINDUS BELIEVE IN PRESERVATION RATHER THAN DESTRUCTION BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ALLOW INJUSTICE ".
