With over one thousand different names, many earthly avatars, and multiple different depictions throughout the ancient texts and art, Vishnu is central to the practice of Hinduism and its history. Though interpretations of Vishnu have evolved over time, his popularity today is testament to the notion that he is an immensely powerful deity.
The reason that Shaivites (those who predominantly worship Shiva) make a strong case for their deity is that he possesses the powers of both creation and destruction. Though he is mostly known as the Destroyer, it is Shiva’s responsibility to recreate the universe once he has destroyed it.
Shiva is one of three main deities that make up the Hindu triumvirate. Shiva is one of the most powerful gods, equipped with the power to destroy and create – it is this power that many people celebrate in their homes with a Shiva idol.
Part of the beauty of Hinduism is the universal acceptance of others’ opinions and the collective respect for alternative viewpoints. There is an understanding within Hinduism that their supreme God, or Para Brahman, is not only everywhere but inside everyone. The religious journey is all about discovering this absolute being within each individual’s soul, whichever God devotees ultimately find that to be.
