Description

This book highlights the different Gods that exist in the Hindu Pantheon who have been worshipped for thousands of years and are worshipped today. This book is about the deities that are worshipped the most.

Hinduism is an old mystic faith, and the conception of God for a Hindu is the entirely of the universe. A Hindu, by contemplation and self-surrender, seeks to obtain unity or identity with the Deity and believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond understanding. There are multitudes of Gods in Hinduism and a Hindu worships with faith in the oneness of the Almighty that is represented in different forms.

As the book explains, Hindu Gods are manifestations of the One Supreme Being in different forms. A Hindu gets nearer to God when he gives the God a shape and a form. God is all shapers and, for a Hindu, can be worshipped in any form. There are thirty-three crore and thirty lakhs in Hinduism. This book is about the deities that are worshipped the most.
