HINDUISM AND THE INFINITE GODS:Brahman is the supreme Hindu god. However, it is meant for people who lead an ideal life, in whom it would oppose deterioration of that ideal life.
THE SEVEN SUBORDINATE GODS OF BRAHMAN:
Brahman has seven subordinate gods (Manu Smriti - 1.19).
They are,
1. Indra - god of dreaming
2. Shakti - god of illusion
3. Brahma - god of creativity
4. Vishnu - god of stabilization
5. Shiva - god of determination
6. Shani - god of status alteration
7. Yama - god of compulsion.
These are specialist gods suited for a specific purpose only. These gods are the Hindu equivalent of code of conduct. Thus, a Hindu has to use any of the seven gods, depending on the situation.
INCARNATIONS OF VISHNU:
Vishnu, the default Hindu god, is very complicated and has ten major incarnations, each suited for a specific purpose. Rama and Krishna are the most important incarnations.
SECONDARY HINDU GODS:
Use of the seven basic Hindu gods need a thorough knowledge of them and also of the situation they are being used in. Therefore, to simplify worship of god, secondary gods have evolved, which have features of many gods. Aiyappan, Durga are examples.
THE GODDESSES:
The gods are facilitating forces. The goddesses represent the retarding forces and thus enables us to have control over the god we are worshiping. Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati and Shakti goddesses are the important ones.
CHILDREN OF GODS:
These are parts of the facilitating force, which symbolize gods. The elephant headed Ganesha, son of Shiva, which transfers power of unwanted activities into the task we are performing is the best example.
THE SHAKTI GODS:
Shakti gods are local gods of villages. Thus, though there is just one Shakti god, it manifests in infinite forms.
THE 330 MILLION HINDU GODS:
Hinduism is so flexible that every Hindu can have a tailor made Hindu god. It is for this reason that Hindus believe that there are 330 million Hindu gods. The population at that time was supposed to be 330 million.
Thus, there are infinite Hindu gods because,
1. The supreme Hindu god Brahman is beyond the reach of an ordinary Hindu.
2. Hinduism doesn't have a code of conduct
