Hinduism considers God not just as an all
mighty powerful comander but also a
personal being that one can woship out
of love and not necessarily out of fear.
Hindus see god as something beyond any
attributes of form, color or shapes. To
Hindus god does not even have a specific
form or name. To Hindus God is not a him
or her. God is more or less considered
and it apart from calling it a him or her.
Especially to the Supreme in the natural
state (Formless, Attributeless), they
prefer to call it and it over he or she.
There are known to be about 330
thousand gods to Hindus.
God is seen in two ways to Hindus:
1/ NirguNa Brahman (attributeless god)
2/SaguNa Brahman (god with (good)
attributes)
Brahma: is the creator of all
reality
Vishnu or Krishna is the
preserver of all of the creations
Shiva is the destroyer.
Ganesh is one of the most
worshiped and best known
gods in hinduism. The son of
Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has
an elephantine countenance
with a curved trunk and big
ears, and a huge pot-bellied
body of a human being. He is
the Lord of success and
destroyer of evils and
obstacles.
Some of the Hindu Goddesses are:
Lakshmi: Gentle Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity
Parvati: Wife of Shiva, Mother of Ganesha
Durga: Warrior Goddess
Kali: The Scary One
Dasha Maha Vidgas: Ten Great Goddesses
Every major god has a goddess counterpart (or consort)
The word for "goddess" in Hinduism is shakti, which also
means "power" or "energy."
