| ARTICLES RELATED TO List of deities | | | |  List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Hindu deities - Denominations of HinduismContemporary Hinduism traditionally has four major divisions, Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism, and Smarthism.
According to Adherents.com there are 580,000,000 Vaishnavas, 220,000,000 Shaivites and 22,000,000 neo-Hindus and reform Hindus.

| | | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Hindu deities - Polytheistic gods Although the pantheistic system allowed only a subordinate rank to the old polytheistic gods, and the actual religious belief of the people was probably but little affected by their existence, they continued to occupy an important place in the affections of the poet, and were still represented as exercising considerable influence on the destinies of man. The most prominent of them were regarded as the appointed Loka palas, or guardians of the world; and as such they were made to preside over the four cardinal and (according to some a ...

| | | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Divinity - Divinity as entity A divinity, or divine being, is a deity or godlike entity. When used to refer to a single, supreme being, it usually takes the definite article and a capital: the Divinity. Although the term "divinity" is sometimes simply used as a synonym for "god",(1) it is also used to refer to types of entity in (non-Abrahamic) religions who fall between the usual notions of a god and of saints. For example, some branches of Buddhism involve beliefs in beings who are not human, and who have some supernatural status and religious significance, but who do not fall naturally under the concep ...

| | | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Vishnu - Relations with other Deities Vishnu's consort is Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. Maya is the samvit (the primary intelligence) of Vishnu, while the other five attributes emerge from this samvit and hence Maya is his ahamata, activity, or Vishnu's Power. This power of God, Maya, is personified and is called Maya, Vishnumaya, or Mahamaya, and She is said to manifest Herself in, 1) kriyāshakti, (Creative Activity) and 2) bhütishakti (Creation) of Universe. Hence this world cannot part with His creativity i.e., ahamta, which is a feminine form and is called Maya.
His vehicle is Garuda, the eagle; who is a part of His creation. He needs no ...

| | | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Mahavidya - Worship of Das Mahavidyas In their strong associations with death, violence, pollution, and despised marginal social roles, they call into question such normative social "goods" as worldly comfort, security, respect, and honor. The worship of these goddesses suggests that the devotee experiences a refreshing and liberating spirituality in all that is forbidden by established social orders.
The central aim here is to stretch one's consciousness beyond the conventional, to break away from approved social norms, roles, and expectations. By subverting, mocking, or ...

| | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Vishnu - pre-Puranic Vishnu In the Rigveda, Vishnu is mentioned 93 times. He is frequently invoked with other gods, especially with Indra, whom he assists in killing Vritra, and with whom he drinks Soma. His companionship with Indra is still reflected by his later epitheta Indrānuja and Upendra. His distinguishing characteristic in the Vedas is his association with Light, or even his identification with the Sun. He appears as striding across the heavens in three paces, by Rigvedic commentators explained as denoting the threefold manifestations of light in the form of fire, lightning, and the Sun, or as designating the three daily stations of ...

| | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Vishnu - Worship It is not clearly known when or how the worship of Vishnu began. In the Vedas, and the information on Aryan beliefs, Vishnu is associated with Indra. However, Shukavak N. Dasa, a Vaishnavite scholar, in reference at this link has commentated that Srivaishnavites would note that:
The praise of Indra and other devas in the Vedas are not intended for the particular deity, but for the Supreme Being, Brahman, who is the inner soul of devas and all other beings.
The various deities addressed in the hymns are simply different ...

| | | | | List of deities: Encyclopedia II - Vishnu - Etymology The traditional Hindu explanation of the name Viṣṇu involves the root viś, meaning "to settle, to enter", or also (in the Rigveda) "to pervade", and a suffix nu, translating to approximately "the All-Pervading One". For example Adi Sankara, in Swami Tapasyananda's translation of his commentary on Vishnu Sahasranama (Ramakrishna Math publications) states derivation from this root, with a meaning "presence everywhere" ("As He pervades everything, vevesti, He is called Visnu"). Adi Sankara states (regarding Vishnu Purana, 3.1.45): "The Power of the Supreme Being has entered within the universe. The r ...
