BY: COURTNEY, MERISSA & JACOB 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.
