Brahman and Ishvara
The answer differs with different people. Many would accept the trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva; as also the Mother Goddess Durga). Many would say there are many Gods (Ganesha, Hanuman, Kartikeya, and Goddesses, Saraswati). Hinduism is not a monolithic religion. Any one view is not complete hinduism. You are presenting the philosophy of Adi Sankaracharya, which I too follow. But Ishvara exists only in 'pragmatic reality' (Vyavaharika) and not in 'absolute reality' (Parmarthika). Why should I settle for less? So, I do not accept existence of Ishvara. Now, one cannot define Brahman. I too am none other than Brahman (So Aham), you too are Brahman (Tat twam asi). I do not consider myself to be God, do you? Even a grain of sand is Brahman. Therefore, Brahman is not God.
