Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: : Traditional Hinduism is commonly held to be polytheistic and in most strains of the tradition it would be totally right, there is also a monotheistic part which is often overlooked, even among many historians of religion and Hindu theologians.Most of the people think Hinduism as a strange polytheism with many armed and multi headed gods. Indeed, ‘Pancho Pasana’ the worship of five gods (Durga, Surya, Ganesha, Shiva, and Vishnu) —often considered the very epitome of polytheistic understanding which can be seen in a monotheistic light also. The tradition, the more I became aware of a different opinion, one that is not as common as the polytheistic view, at least in some cases.
