Who is the main god of Hindu?

Brahman is the main god of Hinduism. Brahman actually translated means true reality or the real thing.

All Hindus belive in Brahman, and sometimes split into groups believing strongly in one form.

Answer 3

Apparently there are many gods [not Gods/God] but if you keep digging in Upanishads you discover that many gods are the manifestations of the trinity Brahmaa, Vishnu and Shiva, but this is not even final, these three are Creator, Maintainer and Destroyer of the Universe, but beyond that who exists is the "Brahmana" [not Brahmaa or Brahmanaa], Brahmana is the highest reality, a formless, genderless pure consciousness the definition of which is "sat-chit-ananda", pure, undifferentiated state of non-duality ... which one may consider as the God but this isn't the God of Christianity or Islam, because that God has a gender and who created the Universe but behold, let me explain as far as I understand it, according to Upanishads, this whole reality of the Universe that we see along with all the gods and even the trinity is like a dream an illusion of the "Brahmana" = I, yes me.. but not this material you and I but the pure consciousness behind this material body... as if "I" is an entity looking through billions of eyes i the Universe thinking that everyone and everything is different, many, you and I are different... but if one goes deep inside one's consciousness, he unfolds the layers of ignorance and starts to see the real nature of the Universe and ultimately in the end he becomes one with the Brahmana and realize that nothing actually existed or existed it was he all along dreaming and so he experienced the Universe... this is non-dualism.. this is the realization that "individual pure consciousness or Atmana = Universal consciousness Brahmana".

Well I can go on and on, and we can read and discuss and go on but it all add up to nothing if we fail to reach that level of consciousness !

Answer 4

Followers of different sects and paths worship their own personal God (Ishwara) and believe that their God is the supreme. They take references from shastras like vedas, upanishads, different gitas (like bhagavad Gita, Shiva Gita, Avadhoot Gita, etc) and different puranas like Bhagavat purana (srimad bhagavat), devi Bhagavat, skanda purana, vishnu purana, shiva purana, Ganesh purana, etc to claim the authority of their personal God. Some who worship formless God, attribute less God i.e. Brahman.
