Have you ever wondered if Hindus worship one God or many Gods, why do Hindus worship images and icons, why does the God in Hinduism have multiple names and multiple forms of God? If so I hope I can help you find all the answers that you need. I have included colourful pictures and I hope the information helps with your research.
Firstly I am going to introduce the main God in Hinduism, he is called Brahman. Hindu's believe that
* There is one universal spirit called Brahman which pervades the whole universe and is symbolised in the syllable OM (AUM)
* There are three main aspects to Brahman, called the Hindu Triad of Brahman the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer.
