"The apparent multiplication of gods is bewildering at the first glance, but you soon discover that they are the same GOD. There is always one uttermost God who defies personification.

In fact Hinduism is so elastic and so subtle that the most profound Methodist, and crudest idolater, are equally at home with it."

"Amongst the sacred books of the past, the Upanishads can be called the truth the Himalayas of the soul. Their passionate wanderings of discovery to find that sun of the spirit in us, from whom we have the light of our consciousness and the fire of our life; the greatness of their questions, and the sublime simplicity of their answers; their radiance of joy..."

@pritish
with all those 330 million god ,have we ever witnessed HINDUS fighting among themselves as which GOD is SUPERIOR?? ...NEVER ...
every HINDU knows the truth that those 330 million are nothing but various MANIFESTATIONS of CREATOR ...it is only these SEMITIC slaves who dont understand ( perhaps dont want to accept) the TRUTH ....
