 Gods of India form a superhuman and mysterious race of mighty humanoid beings that were prayed to by the ancient Aryan and Vedic tribes of the Mid-East from around 3000 BC till modern times. They were recognized mainly in Hinduism. It is believed that God pervades in everything and everywhere, He is the colossal being and stays in the gigantic things as well as in the smallest particle of the world. Hinduism defines God as the being who is visible and at the same time invisible, He has a form and He is formless as well.
Hindu Gods of India The Hindu Gods are the eternal deities appearing to be sovereign and different, but in reality are aspects of the same Brahman, the supreme God. Indian Gods are the Hindu deities in a number of incarnations. Some of them are as follows: 
 Buddhist Gods of India  Buddhists believe that there are four main Buddhist Gods who are in charge of supervising the four directions of the world. They are known as "Satarawaram Gods" and protect virtuous Buddhists from the evils of some devilish people. They are Dularatha, Virulha, Virupakka and Vaishravana. Gautama Buddha was a sage who is worshipped as the main God in Buddhism, since this religion was founded along the guidelines of his teachings.
Jain Gods of India Jains believe in the existence of certain heavenly beings known as ‘Devas’ who are liable to all kinds of sufferings and should meet their end, namely death. As per Jain beliefs, such beings are not the creators of the earth. However, Jainism asserts the presence of Gods and Goddesses called ‘Sasanadevatas’ and ‘Sasanadevis’. Jain Tirthankaras are known to worship these heavenly beings. The four kinds of these Gods are the ‘Bhavanpatis’ or Gods residing in abodes, ‘Vyantaras’ or intermediary Gods, ‘Jyotiskas’ or luminaries and ‘Vaimanikas’ or astral Gods. Sikh Gods of India Sikhism states that there is only one single God which is the principle tenet of this religion. Sikhs believe in the philosophy of ‘Ik Onkar’ or one God. However, it is a common opinion of Sikh Gurus that God is present everywhere and in all human beings. Sikhism feels that though God is present, he is perceivable only by people who are willing to dedicate their energy, time and devotion to Him. God has been described in several ways by the Sikh Gurus in their sacred book called ‘Guru Granth Sahib’. 
Islamic Gods of India Islam has asserted about the existence of only one God and believes in monotheism. ‘Allah’ or God is worshipped as the ultimate powerful creator and sustainer of the universe. Muslims feel that ‘Allah’ is omnipotent, unique and merciful. Zoroastrian Gods of India Zoroastrians or the ‘Parsis’ are of the view that Gods in their religion represent both monotheism and dualism. Fire is respected and worshipped by Parsis in different Parsi temples. Christian Gods of India Christianity has declared the presence of God who is the eternal being that created the universe. Lord Jesus Christ is worshipped and respected by all Christians as the all-merciful Lord, who had embraced his crucifixion to save mankind. He is known as the great Saviour. Thus, the Gods of India from the ancient period form an integral part of the religious life of the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and other communities. (Last Updated on : 13-03-2023) |
