Sacrfice Animals to make god and goddess happy. NO Brahmins never do that !!!... Only Vedic sacrifices are justified and the animal sacrificed is goat....
God in his true form is beyond all senses and imagination. He cannot be associated with a name. So no worship like God I love thee protect me etc... They are useless. As God is omnipresent he is present in minute objects like infinitely small space (say 10 to the power -million th of space a electron ocquipies) Since he includes everything that means only one thing everything is God. So paramatma (soul of Durga,Vishnu,Shiva) and jeevatma(our souls) is Brahman(God). They (Gods/Godesses) have realised this and so they're worshipped as God. whereas we are NOT. Hinduism is the only way to God!!!!!

I think you didn't read the post above. That is why even Rope, wood and stone were added by the contributor. I do agree there was no way of life before 200 years, because hinduism didn't exist before 200 years in present form.Please do not include Siva, as he is not hindu god.

i think u have'nt understood what i mean. I said the souls of Gods are the Master and Self of all beings and the omnipresent Brahman. They know their true nature of Self.That is why we worship Vishnu,Shiva .Now rope is also God as per Hinduism, (Advaita) but u do not gain anything by worshipping it. Now Mantradheenantu Daiwatam. That means when a great seer chants mantras and ask God to be present in an object, like a stone or wood it becomes an idol and is worth worship. A statue of Krishna is not an idol. but a stone like salagrama shila is Vishnu. About SHIVA: Krishna Yajur Veda the module Sree Rudram, 10th Anuvaka says, Yatey Rudra "Shiva" Tanu "Shiva Viswaha bheshajee" Shiva Rudrasya Bheshajee Tayano mrida jeevase 8th Anuvaka: Namah Shivayacha Shivatarayacha... So Shiva is in Vedas.. I donot know what u mean by saying Shiv not a Hindu God???

Siva was a dravidian god. Dravidians were never hindus. They had their own religion as far as we can remember from Harappan civilization.
On top of that none of vedic god has ever had its historicity or genuine existence. Mythology has only gave birth to this story filled religion. Siva was adinath with bull symbol. And bull was never a symbol of any vedic god.
