Wondering how there can be so many
hindu gods and goddesses ?
From the point of view of most other mono-theistic
religions, this reeks of idolatry. If ever you are in
India, you should try out the following test : ask the
Hindu people you meet which ones are their favorite
hindu gods and goddesses. You will get very diverse
answers, with Ganesha,
Shiva,
Hanuman,
Durga,
Lakshmi
and many other Hindu gods and Goddesses named. If then
you ask the same people how their favorite Hindu gods
and goddesses relate to other hindu gods and goddesses,
you will usually get the same answer : "Well of
course, all Hindu gods and goddesses are the same god
or divine energy, nameless and without form - only in
this particular form I like my hindu gods and goddesses
best".
There is a remarquable religious tolerance embedded within the
pantheon of countless Hindu gods and goddesses, allowing anyone to experience
the divine in the way that suits best at a particular time. This also explains
how it is possible for many different Hindu gods and goddesses to be worshipped
by members of one and the same Hindu family.

the Yoga of Devotion & also of Religion :
Sanatan Society stands for those that follow the original, universal and eternal truth, path or law of yoga. Though it is Hindu in origin, Sanatan Society is not limited to any religion, race, time or country, nor in fact to any particular organisation.
