| | Hindu Pantheon - SourceryForge |
| | Unlike the Greek/Romon gods, the Hindu gods are "enlightened" - that is, they are said to have transcended their personalities to become expressions of the divine nature of the universe. | | | The Hindu pantheon is huge: the figure of 33 million gods is often mentioned. | | | Finally, the Hindu gods who are commonly worshipped are fundamentally benign. |

| | The Hindu pantheon FAQ |
| | The divinities, whom we recognize in Hinduism as gods and goddesses, possess tremendous energies, higher knowledge and unified wisdom and inhabit the higher planes or worlds, free from the troubles of old age and death, playing their dutiful roles in maintaining and managing the various aspects of creation as manifestations of the one Supreme God. | | | Hinduism is perhaps the only major religion in the world with a credible theory of creation and a concept of reality characterized by an universal order managed and sustained by a rich variety of universal forces. | | | According to the tenets of Hinduism, the whole universe is pervaded by one Universal God, who is imperishable, indestructible, infinite, without form and beyond human thought. |

| | God in Hindu Dharma and Representation in Temples |
| | The Hindu Trinity, forms of Gods and Goddesses, the Avatars of Lord Vishnu, the Devatas, Planet and Animal Deities are all presented with their image representation. | | | If you have ever wondered, if Hindus worship one God or many Gods, why do Hindus worship images and icons, why does the God in Hindu dharma have multiple names and multiple forms of God, then this is the where, we hope, you will find answers. | | | The different Gods and Goddesses of Hinduism represent various functions of this One Supreme Divinity, and are not separate Gods. |

| | Encyclopedia Mythica: Hindu mythology |
| | The history of Hindu mythology can be broken up into several different ages, all of which have contributed to the faith as a whole. | | | It was during this time that the Brahman caste asserted that the gods need human priests to keep their power, and some of the rishis, or sages, became more powerful than the gods. | | | The Indo-Aryans became the lords of India, and their gods became the most important in the pantheon, but earlier gods were still revered; they were just given different roles. |

| | Devi - free-definition |
| | In Hinduism, Devi ("goddess") is the supreme mother goddess of the Hindu pantheon. | | | Her main scripture, adored by Hindus, is the Devi Mahatmyam (also known as Chandi Path and Durga Saptashati), in which an allegorical telling of the binding force of Maya and ego is represented through devotional stories about the Divine Mother slaying demons who afflict the world. | | | The Goddess, the female aspect of divinity, is usually considered to have an equal role with the male aspect as "energy" or the driving force (Shakti), without which the male aspect, which represents consciousness or discrimination, is impotent. |

| | Introduction to Hinduism |
| | Not one Hindu, not even the most devoted, knows all of them but the Hindu calendar is a day-by-day account of ritualistic worship, to one deity or another and, on some days, to several deities, with a particular period of the 24-hour day assigned to each deity. | | | As the primary attraction of Hinduism for the West are the practices of Yoga and Meditation these have been treated in such a manner that the student will be fully acquainted with their true purposes. | | | This is much like all other religions in the world and maybe this is why Hinduism, even after almost 3500 years of existence, has still maintained its preeminence as a world religion at the beginning of the 21st century. |

| | Jainism and Non-Jina Beings. (FAQ) |
| | The angel Ganesha, for example, is not regarded as the son of the Hindu god Shiva; nor is the angel Lakshmi considered the consort of the god Vishnu; nor is the angel Sarasvati seen as the wife of Brahma. | | | The incorporation of lesser deities from the Hindu pantheon (which is by no means consistent or universal within the Jain tradition) is thus a cultural aspect of Indian lay Jains, and has no relevance to the philosophy, conduct and soteriology which are unambiguously structured in the Jain system. | | | The Shasan Devatas are seen as neither eternal nor divine, and they themselves are said to be worshippers of the Jina, i.e., devotees of the true "God". |

| | To answer the question "What do Hindus believe about the gods?" one must clarify which time period, as their emphasis on certain gods changed through the centuries. | | | As Buddha, he deceives the enemies of the gods with lies, saying there are no gods, no endless cycle of lives, only peaceful sleep (nirvana), which actually is a distortion of Buddhist teaching. | | | Over one fourth of the Vedic hymns concern Indra, the king of heaven, the storm god who gained prominence by defeating the demon/dragon Vritra who was holding back rain from heaven, having imprisoned the cloud-cattle. |

| | Hindu Kush means Hindu Slaughter |
| | It is evident that Hindus from ancient India's (Hindustan's) border states such as Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh were massacred or taken as slaves by the Moslem invaders who named the region as Hindu Kush (or Hindu Slaughter,or Hindu Killer) to teach a lesson to the future Hindu generations of India. | | | The name 'Hindu Kush' itself tells us about the fate of the original residents of Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh during the later period of Moslem conquests, because HINDU KUSH in Persian MEANS HINDU SLAUGHTER (13) (as per Koenraad Elst in his book 'Ayodhya and After'). | | | Encyclopedia Americana comments on the Hindu Kush as follows: The name Hindu Kush means literally 'Kills the Hindu', a reminder of the days when (Hindu) SLAVES from Indian subcontinent died in harsh Afgan mountains while being transported to Moslem courts of Central Asia (15). |

| | Shri Tara Devi |
| | Some have attempted to separate the Hindu Tara from the Tibetan Tara, but there is little doubt that She is the same Devi. | | | This is shown in a reference to Tara in the Hindu Tantrarajatantra, where Her mantra is given as Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha -- identical to the Tibetan version. | | | Tara is quite well known to the West through Her Tibetan manifestations, but some are unaware of the important position She occupies in the Hindu tantrik pantheon. |

| | According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that the world is supported on eight pairs of elephants who are therefore called Lokpalas. | | | So much so that very soon the Hindu pantheon had a God with an elephant face: the one god loved by all and propitiated before beginning any activity, or even the new day. | | | That is why Queen Maya, mother of Siddhartha, who later became the Buddha, dreamt of a tame white elephant entering her body just before she conceived her child. |
