Hinduism is a very liberal religion. It is eternal and, despite having many deities in it, it is a supporter of monotheism. Hindus believe that God is one; only names are many. Hurting someone is the greatest sin, and charity is the greatest virtue. Service to the people is the service of God. Hinduism resides in the mind, rites, and traditions of Hindutva. In Hinduism, gods and goddesses are an integral part of the colorful Hindu culture. The main deities of the Vedic period are Indra, Agni, Soma, Varuna, Prajapati, Savita, and the goddesses Saraswati, Usha, Prithvi, etc. In later Hinduism, new gods and goddesses came in the form of many incarnations, such as Ganesha, Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, Hanuman, Kartikeya, Surya, Chandra, etc., and goddesses called mothers, such as Durga, Parvati, Lakshmi, Sheetla, Sita, Radha, Santoshi, Mahakali, etc. All these deities are mentioned in the Puranas and their total number is said to be 33 types. They are: 8 Vasu, 11 Rudra, 12 Aaditya, 1 Indra and 1 Prajaapati. According to the Puranas, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are the supreme powers and members of the Trinity. They are the rulers of nature. Without their permission, not even a leaf moves here. One more special thing—all the deities' works are divided. No one interferes in any particular area. Everyone has also been given their respective powers for the performance of the work. Apart from all this, the cow is also worshipped as a mother in Hinduism. It is believed that the entire 33 categories of deities reside in the cow. Many trees, rivers, animals, birds, mountains, etc. are worshipped here as God. Hindu gods and goddesses have also taken many incarnations to protect religion and humanity. Among them, 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu are considered prominent: Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Vamana, Narasimha, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki. The Kalki incarnation is the twenty-fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, which is set to take place at the end of the current Kali-yuga. His various forms are worshipped with full devotion and belief in the country and abroad. It is also said in religious texts that the deities may have different names, but all bless their devotees equally. The stories of the origins of various Hindu gods are given in the present book. There may be similarities in some of the stories. I have compiled these from the Vedas, Puranas, and Upanishads. I hope the readers will find it interesting and informative.

This is a product of my life-long reseach to unearth the facts that Lord Indra, the King of the Gods o Hindu Gods Pantheon was a human being only, and was a proven historical person of the 15th Cenrury BC, which so far remained covered under the imposed Indian Mythology of millennium after millennium. This is the first-time unearthing of the top-most Vedic Hindu God, Indra, from the Myth of Celescial figure to the real facts of proven and recorded history of Mesopotamia, and duly corroborated by the TEXT OF RIG-VEDA, the most ancient Holy Book, written in a language of Pre-Sanskrit Indo-Aryan Language, an written in the Cunneiform Scripts, and later on shited in Sanskrit Devanagari Scripts. This Research Publicaton of the present author is a Flagship-Book, on the other revelations, that [1] Rig-Veda was a sudden and forced creation to give birth to a totally NEW RELIGION, now called " Vedic Hinduism" just started in 1432 BC: [2] and all the major Gods of Rig-Veda, except Agni, Vayu etc, were all living humans of the 15th Cenrury BC, two of them, namely Varuna, the Emperor of Babylon, whose Emperial Title in Mesopotamia History was" Burna Buriash" and other God, Mitra, [ alternative name of Sun] was King of Mitanni Kingdom, having official title, Paratarrna Parashastra, and all the 13 New Gods, rarrated in the 62% Hymns of 1028 Hymns of Rig-Veda were used to make them king, [ Vide, the next book of this Series, written by this Aouthor, titled as " All Indo-Aryan Vedic Hindu Gods were of Mesopotamina Origin", followed by the " Life and Career of Indra as per Rig-Veda" re-created with the help of recovered and well-preserved historcal records, and ancient archaelogical evidences, including Indra's own Inscription, statue, Royal Seal, Indra's Clay tablets, and traced out locations of his lifes [the Mesopotamian Part] and Indra life and Career in the-then Greater India, including Afghanisthan and Eastern Iran, has been re-constructed by the well-preserved oldest Text of Rig-Vedic Hymns, wriiten in the life-time of Lord Indra as trustable tesimonies as good as wriiten Inscriptions on the stones. The last 10-years of labors of the author on studies of the Oldest Religious Text of Rig-Veda and contemporary historical and archaeological records, brough a fresh new revealations on the begining of the Hinduism in it's first phase, and threw new lights of Indilogy of India and it's polical history and kingdoms of that relevant times, massive destructions of Pre-Arryan people and their civilisation and culture, and fisrt big-bang of the Arryanisation of India, that controlled the remaining history of Indian political, religious, cultural, social life in the mainstream of Indian till today.

Reflecting the spirit of East Indian myths, legends, and fables, these illustrations were compiled by one of the nineteenth century's foremost Orientalists. Edward Moor published The Hindu Pantheon in 1810, and this new volume draws upon his exposition of India's religious iconography to offer a spectacular array of images of Hindu deities. Dramatic engravings and line drawings include scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata as well as temple images of Krishna, Vishnu, Siva, and other major gods and goddesses. Many are derived from bronze figurines; others are reproduced from manuscript illustrations. All appear with captions for ease of identification.

The foundations of Hinduism are the eternal and supersensuous truths discovered by ancient Indian sages. These revealed Divine Truths are called the Vedas. According to the teachings of the Vedas, God is the One without a second — the absolute, formless, and only Reality. God is referred to as Brahman, the Supreme Universal Soul. It is said in the Vedas that by His mere will, Brahman manifests Himself as this universe. Hence, creation, preservation and dissolution of this world are the three aspects of God. These three basic aspects of God are represented by the Trinity called as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. There are also other deities in Hinduism to personify the various other endless powers and aspects of God. These are the gods and goddesses of Hinduism. A brief idea about a few important gods and goddesses of Hinduism are given in this book.

Buddhism introduced many Hindu Gods and Goddesses to the Japanese. The rulers were the first to be attracted to them. Historical records show that they earnestly believed in the miracles of these divinities promised in the sutras. Many miracle stories started appearing in popular literature as the divinities percolated down to the masses. The resulting naturalisation process in the case of some divinities went to the extent that they became an integral part of the native Shinto pantheon. Their popularity remains unabated even today. The Tantric Buddhist sects also played a vital role in propagating the divinities. They regularly worshipped the divinities in their temples where people thronged in large numbers. Many steps in these ceremonies, for instance, the homa ritual, are very familiar to the present-day Hindus. The monks have also produced a considerable volume of religious literature related to these divinities. Descriptions of many divinities show that they have not changed substantially over centuries. A study of these writings also shows that a large volume of Hindu myths and legends related to these deities were transmitted to Japan. These writings are also a testimony to the way the ancestors of the present-day Hindus thought about these deities, say, around the eighth or ninth century of the Christian era.

Home to one of the ancient civilizations of the world, India is also the birthplace of a dizzying array of gods worshipped by millions of Hindus living in India and across the globe. Over the centuries many of these gods rose to power and became the object of utmost devotion, only to fall from grace and lose their standing. These deities shared a peculiar trait: they were never perfect. In this multivolume series entitled, The Galaxy of Hindu Gods, Sach takes you on an extended journey to meet with the gods and share their tales with you. Among the multitude of deities, the most ancient are the Vedic gods, which include luminaries like Indra, Surya, Varuna, Agni, and others. Today a minor deity, the Vedic Indra was once the ruler of the three worlds who, under the influence of a mysterious power drink, fought with the demons and vanquished them. His reign did not last long. His comrades Surya and Varuna also had their glory days but were overthrown by other gods of the pantheon. Yet, after thousands of years, gods like Indra, Surya, and Varuna are still household names and honored in Hindu rituals and traditions. If you know little or nothing about Hindu mythology, this is your ideal starting point where you will meet the overwhelming array of Hindu gods and learn about their wonderful stories.

Hinduism is more than a religion; it is a way of life. Its rich and multicoloured history has made the structure of its mythical and philosophical principles into a highly differentiated maze, of which total knowledge is a practical impossibility. This volume cannot offer a complete survey of the meaning of Hinduism. It is an extensive compilation of important deities and their divine manifestations, so that modern students can understand the significance of the Hindu pantheon.
