They view the many different Gods as different aspects of one Supreme Being.
There are three 'main' Hindu gods, Shiva, Brahman, and Visnu, which people choose to follow as their Supreme Beings, yet all Hindu's know they are still part of a single Being. Even within those three choices are hundreds more minor Gods, such as local village gods or river gods. A hindu may still worship that God over their selection of a "main" god. These "minor"/local Gods are all parts of their single God. Take the phrase "all is One" literally.
It is, in a way, similar to Christianity. One God, but with different aspects.
Think about it this way:
You
You may also be a student, a parent, a friend, a partner, a dancer, a sports-person, and much more, but you are still you.
THE HINDU BELIEF IN ONE AND MANY DIFFERENT GODS AT THE SAME TIMEIn Hinduism there are seven basic gods.
THE SEVEN BASIC HINDU GODS
They are,
1. Indra - god of dreaming
2. Shakti - god of illusion
3. Brahma - god of creativity
4. Vishnu - god of stabilization of life
5. Shiva - god of determination
6. Shani - god of status increase
7. Yama - god of compulsion
The seven gods combined together form the supreme Hindu god Brahman.
The seven gods, or parts of the force they represent, can be combined in various permutations and combinations to form infinite Hindu gods to suit each occupation, geographical location or other needs of life.
Thus, a Hindu either
1. Surrenders to the supreme Hindu god Brahman
2. Believes in any of the infinite gods which constitute a part of Brahman.

Hindus of today are different from the earlier Hindus who followed the Sanatana Dharma. Those ancient Hindus regarded their journey of life to be one where they have to attain the goal of Moksha or Liberation. Today's Hindus are as lost as the rest of the world. We believe in many Gods with names and forms. We believe that we will go to heaven and hell, we believe in all the fairy tales like Santa Claus and a God with an elephant head. But most of the Hindus are in this unfortunate situation. There are a few Hindus who still believe in the original Upanishads and the Vedas which tell us we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are the Divine Soul, and to be liberated and united with God is our ultimate goal. This is how they live their life.
well from my view..Angels are created from Gods light...In many religions such as Hindus and Buddhisms do not believe in angels.While Muslims and Christians do believe in Angels...
