∙ 12y agoIn "Hinduism" (Vedic religions) "gods" are known as "demigods". Demigods represent the administrative posts that are assigned (by the Supreme Lord) to various living entities who are empowered to execute the duties of administering powers of material nature. While their lifespans are almost inconceivably long, they are not immortal, but perish with the eventual destruction of the material cosmos, which itself follows repeating cycles of manifestation and disappearance, emerging from, and re-entering the body of the Mahapurusha, an expansion of the Supreme Lord manifested for the purpose of creating and sustaining innumerable material universes, and innumerable souls which populate them as they transmigrate through 8,400,000 species of life. Reference: Bhagavat Purana
