which, in the Sanskrit language was the Sindhu. Of utmost importance to Hindus, then and now, are the world’s most ancient scriptures – the Vedas – the ‘knowledge of God’.In Hinduism, the one supreme Absolute and divine starting point of all reality is known as ‘Brahman’. While this overarching concept has no single manifestation, it is represented in the myriad gods and goddesses to which Hinduism has given rise. For every spiritual craving there is a vast array of deities to call upon. The diversity of nature is truly divine in Hinduism, and provides for everyone.
Hindu deities come in a dazzling array of forms, each displaying some aspect of the Absolute. Just as there are many different kinds of individuals, so are there many different ways to worship God. What is good for one, may not be good for the next. Hinduism allows for an almost infinite variety of ways to approach God and the Divine. Whatever temple, symbol, or image helps a person to realise the God within, Hinduism is open to it.
