Is Hinduism polythestic?
Hinduism is polytheistic. It has three main deities, Brahma (the creator) Vishnu (the preserver) and Shiva (the destroyer) but there are many, many more.Hinduism is holistic:Hinduism is a holistic religion. In it there is a smooth transition from Monotheism to Polytheism to Atheism.Polytheistic Hinduism:Hinduism is considered as a religion with 330 million gods, which means a custom made god for every Hindu, There are seven basic Hindu gods viz. Indra, Shakti, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Shani and Yama, from which all other gods and goddesses are derived. The central three gods are known together as Trimurti.This makes Hinduism look polytheistic, without any doubt.Monotheistic Hinduism and Brahman:1. Brahman, the supreme Hindu god, is the equivalent of gods of monotheistic religions. In Hinduism, by god, we mean Brahman because it is the only omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient Hindu god.2. Even if a Hindu believes that there are 330 million Hindu gods, Brahman is still his ideal. Every Hindu wishes to attain Moksha and become one with Brahman.3. If we blend all the seven basic Hindu gods the result would be Brahman. It is for this reason that Hindus believe that all gods spring from Brahman.As long as Brahman, the eternal god, exists the other Hindu gods can't be considered as distinct gods.Thus, even though Hinduism has many gods it can't be considered as a Polytheistic religion.Therefore, Hinduism is a holistic religion and should never be considered as Monotheistic, Polytheistic or Atheistic.
What main god do hindus believe in?
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.

What don't the Buddhist and Hindu religions have in common?
ok well since I am Hindu it won't be a problem for me to answer... basically, Buddhism evolved from Hinduism, and they are so similar that Hinduism re-enveloped Hinduism. if you're looking for history class help.... Buddhism says 'no idol worship and no priests are necessary to unite with the brahman'--which you should have learned about the brahman in class...I know I did and I took world history just last year....but if you didn't, brahman is the eternal soul... they both believe in the multiple manifistations of the universal spirit brahm.this spirit reveals itsself through multiple gods or deities. this results in a buddist or Hindu worshipping any particular god that is considered spritual.
Is Hinduism a religion that believes in one or more gods?
In Hinduism, Brahman is the supreme god.According to Manu Smriti 1.11, Brahman is same as Purusha and according to 1.19 and 1.20, Purusha is made of seven maha purushas.According to Rig Veda/ Purusha 1.10.90-14, Purusha has seven hidden weapons and seven kinds of energies.It is not mentioned anywhere in Hindu scriptures who the seven Mahapurushas who constitute the supreme Hindu god.However, a good knowledge of Hinduism would indicate that they are,1. Indra2. Shakti3. Brahma4. Vishnu5. Shiva6. Shani7. YamaThese are specialist gods. To depend on them a Hindu must have a thorough knowledge of these gods and the situation in which they would be used!Therefore, a single god based on a combination of these seven gods are also popular.In addition there are goddesses, children of gods, incarnations of Vishnu, etc.This makes Hindu gods infinite.It must be mentioned here that one can't believe in Brahman. One must accept Brahman as a fact. This is because, unlike other Hindu gods, it is 100% reliable.However, Brahman is the god of people leading an ideal life.For the suffering people it can just show in what direction they should proceed to make their life ideal.Thus, theoretically, there is just one ideal Hindu god, Brahman, which is not a practical god for an ordinary Hindu.However, practically there are infinite Hindu gods.
What do Hinduism people believe in?
You have asked a very ambiguous question. The question should have been, 'what Hinduism people do not believe in'? The answer would have been that there is nothing that hindus do not believe in. Which is what happens when you give the right to hold individual opinions to a billion people. No two hindus have exactly the same kind of belief. There are all kinds of beliefs in Hinduism, right from polytheism to monotheism to monism to atheism. They believe in science, they believe in voo-doo also, in ghosts and angels. Hindu belief cannot in any way be limited. The answer to 'what Hinduism people believe in?' is social responsibilities and peace, or 'Dharma' (duty and righteous action). The main concern of Hinduism is that the family should lead a satisfied, peaceful, and progressive life; and there should be no discord in the society.

Is Hinduism polytheistic or monotheistic?
Answer 1Hinduism is at its deepest a monotheistic religion, although the supreme being of God, or Brahman, can be worshiped in many different forms. Hindus believe in one supreme God who created the universe and can be worshiped as light. Hinduism's God has may forms or Avatars. Hinduism is a complex set of religious and philosophical thought and does not fit well with a simplistic categorization of monotheism, polytheism or atheism. It includes all of these and more. Separate schools of Hindu thought vary one from the other in these topics.In some schools all the Hindu gods and the human soul (ātman) are part of the Brahman, the supreme soul.Answer 2It is difficult to summarize Hindu theology since the various Hindu schools contain elements of almost every theological system.Hinduism can be:Monastic - Only one thing exists; Sankara's schoolPantheistic - Only one divine thing exists so that God is identical to the world; BrahmanismPantheistic - The world is part of God; Ramanuja's SchoolTheistic - Only one God, distinct from Creation; Bhakti Hinduism.Observing other schools, Hinduism can also be atheistic, deistic, or even nihilistic. With such diversity included under the title "Hindu," one may wonder what makes them "Hindu" in the first place. About the only real issue is whether or not a belief system recognizes the Vedas as sacred. If it does, then it is Hindu. If not, then it is not Hindu.

Can a monotheist have a deity?
To understand whether a Monotheist can have a deity we must know the absolute meaning of Monotheism, Polytheism and Atheism. This is because there is no deity in Monotheism and Atheism and it exists only in Polytheism.Monotheism, Polytheism and Atheism:We know that,1. Monotheism is based on belief in just one god2. Polytheism is based on belief in many gods3. Atheism is based on belief in no god.The Absolute meaning of Monotheism, Polytheism and Atheism:1. Monotheism is total belief in god2. Polytheism is partial belief in god3. Atheism is no belief in god.Polytheist:Polytheism is a wide spectrum.A Polytheist,1. At one extremity is a Monotheist2. At the other extremity is an Atheist.It is only in the middle is he really a Polytheist.Monotheism, Polythism and Hinduism:Hinduism is the one and only religion that is both Monotheistic and Polytheistic.Monotheistic Hinduism:Brahman is the Monotheistic Hindu god. He is not a deity and he is the one and only Hindu god who is not represented by an idol.Polytheistic Hinduism:In Hinduism there are seven grades of belief, each grade associated with a god.They are,1. Indra2. Shakti3. Brahma4. Vishnu5. Shiva6. Shani7. Yama.Indra is at the Monotheistic extremity and Yama is at the Atheistic extremity.Need for deity in Polytheism:The wide spectrum of belief in Polytheistic Hinduism makes it extrmely complicated. The deity simplifies the life of a Hindu Polytheist1. It prevents him from becoming a Monotheist or an Atheist.2. It ensures that his belief in god is constant.Monotheism and Deity:1. We can be Monotheistic under ideal conditions only. Thus, Brahman, the Monotheistic Hindu god, is also the ideal Hindu god.2. Under ideal conditions there is no need for imagination. Since an idol is semi real, reality representing imagination, it has no place in Monotheism. Thus, Brahman can't be represented by an idol.3. Since the Monotheist's belief in god is maximum and constant he doesn't need a deity.Dangers of Monotheistic having a deity:If a Monotheist tries to have a deity,1. His belief in god would become lesser and variable and may even get abolished completely.2. His life would become extremely complicated3. He can't know what ideal life isTherefore, a Monotheist need not, cannot and should not have a deity.
