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.
