Who is the god of Hindusim?

Answer 1

There is only one God in Hinduism - but He/She can take any form, and does; in Hinduism, God is worshipped in millions of different forms. It has been said, that Hindus don't believe in many gods, or one god, but only God. In Hinduism, God is the unmanifest which exists in His creation -- therefore, everything that exists (from the Sun, Moon, and each human being) has some part of the Divinity within them and should be treated with respect as sacred. The metaphor used is that God is like the Spider, who produces His web (the Universe) from within Himself. A few popular forms that God is worshipped in, include: Vishnu (and his human incarnation Krishna), Siva, Kali, Durga, Ganesha (the elephant-headed god). Hindus believe in polytheism and monotheism.
Hinduism has thousands of gods. The three main ones are Brahma (the creator god), Vishnu (the protector god), and Shiva (the destroyer god). Another important god is Ganesha. He symbolizes intelligence (he is the god with the elephant head). All gods are manifestations of one supreme spirit, Brahman (Not to be confused with the creator god, Brahma). Brahman is not a god, but a spirit inside of everything.
God

This is a rather complex question to answer. There are at least 33 gods that are represented within the Hindu religion, a few of them being Ganesha, Krishna, and Vishnu. All of these gods became gods because they gained knowledge of the Progenitor of the race of Man known to the Hindu's as Prajapati (the golden reed standing in the waters), or more specifically, Brahman. However, Brahman and those 33 lesser gods are merely aspects of the One God, That which created all of them, and That which created you, which incidentally, has no name, but is referred to within the Rg Veda as Skambha.

Answer 2

'Brahman' is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the phenomenal universe.

Also, there is a Trinity of God:

1. Brahma - The creator.
2. Vishnu - The preserver.
3. Shiva - The destroyer.

There are many other deities who are believed to be the manifestation of Brahman. Few are listed below:

• Saraswati - The god of knowledge and wife of Lord Brahma (not Brahman).
• Lakshmi - The goddess of prosperity and wife of Lord Vishnu
• Parwathi - The wife of Lord Shiva
• Lord Rama - The ideal man and reincarnation of Lord Vishnu
• Ganesha - The remover of obstacles and son of Lord Shiva
• Hanuman - The god of courage
• Gayatri - Also know as Veda Matha (Mother of Vedas)

The list goes can go on.

It is said that Hindus believe there are 33 million deities. In the Vedas, Thirty-three gods are listed. This is followed by the Sanskrit word 'Koti', which is used for "class" but can also be used for a number equal to 10 million. According to one view, some scholars misinterpreted the word 'Koti' - which is meant to mean "class", claiming that there are 33 million gods within Hinduism. Another view contends that 33 million is a figure symbolizing infinity, indicating infinite forms of God.

Answer 3

Brahman. The other entities called 'gods' are aspects of Brahman. This isn't completely different from the way that some Christians believe that there is one God, and a trinity at the same time.
The supreme god does not have any form or caste and gender,but there are 3 main gods-

1. Shiva - the destroyer, he destroys the old to create the new.
2. Brahma- The creator , he had 5 heads, one cut by shiva,he has only one temple and shrine dedicated to him.
3. Vishnu-THE protector, he takes an avatar(incarnate) to protect every era.he has 10 main avatars also known as dashavtar.

• matsya-the fish
• kurma-the turtle
• varah-the boar
• nrisinha-half man,half lion
• vamana-the dwarf
• parshurama-the bhraman with the Axe.
• ramachandra-the kind king
• krishna-the flute bearer or the guru of the bhagavat
• bhudha- the enlightened one .
• kalki- the one to come.

Hindus have minor gods called devas.

Answer 5

The answer is complicated. It may be impossible to select one god.

1. BRAHMAN:

If we suppose that god is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, then Brahman is the god of Hinduism. All other Hindu gods are specialist gods.

Moreover, all Hindu gods are derived from Brahman only.

However, Brahman is not like the god of other religions. Brahman is an Atheistic god because it is absolute fact. More over, unlike other gods Brahman is neither forgiving or generous. Since it is not compatible with languages we can have mythologies. We can't have idols, mantras and rituals.

VISHNU:

Vishnu is the next choice. Like Brahman he is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient but over a very narrow range.

Rama was projected as the single god to unite all Hindus, without much success. The reason is that Rama is not very materialistic.

The Krishna incarnation of Vishnu is more Brahman like. Krishna may thus be considered as the god of Hinduism.

SHIVA:

Shiva is the god of determination and thus a specialist like god. Shiva is not as omnipotent as Vishnu. However, in the materialistic world that is an asset and not a liability.

Thus, theoretically, the god of Hinduism is undoubtedly Brahman. However, practically it is either Vishnu (especially the Krishna incarnation) or Shiva.
