Answer 1

According to my belief there is only ONE SUPREME DIVINITY and in Hinduism this Divinity has manifested in to several Gods and Goddesses.

Human beings through history have formulated many different names and forms for the Divine or Eternal. Just as we have many names and forms for other things, for every thing, and so too, in religion a similar great diversity has been created.

As a universal formulation Hinduism accepts all formulations of Truth. According to the universal view there is only One Reality, but it cannot be limit ed to a particular name or form. Though Truth is One it is also Universal, not an exclusive formulation. It is an inclusive, not an exclusive Oneness - a spiritual reality of Being - Consciousness - Bliss, which could be called God but which transcends all names. The different Gods and Goddesses of Hinduism represent various functions of this One Supreme Divinity, and are not separate Gods.

However the important and most worshipped 10 Gods in Hinduism worshiped are - Kali, Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, Ganesh, Kartick, Hanuman. These represent different feminine and masculine qualities and functions of the Divine which contains both male and female energies. For example, Kali portrays the destructive energy, Lakshmi the nourishing, and Sarasvati the creative, while Durga is the Divine Mother in her protective role. Hinduism also has many dual male-female forms like Radha-Krishna, Sita-Rama, Uma-Mahesh, and Lakshmi -Narayan in which the female form is usually addressed first. The different masculine forms of the Divine in Hinduism have their feminine counterparts.-

Off the top of my head, I'd go with:
Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma, Ganesh, Krishna, Laxmi, Kali, Ram, Sarasvati, and Parvati.

Those are in no order, they're just some of the more prominent Gods. The list isn't exhaustive, and I've likely left out someone important and included somebody I shouldn't have, but I hope it at least helps as a starting point.

Just as a single force in space can be mathematically conceived as having various spatial components, the Supreme Being or God, the personal form of the Ultimate Reality, is conceived by Hindus as having various aspects. A Hindu deity (god or goddess; note small g) represents a particular aspect of the Supreme Being. For example, Saraswati represents the learning and knowledge aspect of the Supreme Being. Thus, if a Hindu wants to pray for acquiring knowledge and understanding, he prays to Saraswati. Just as sunlight cannot have a separate and independent existence from the sun itself, a Hindu deity does not have a separate and independent existence from the Supreme Being. Thus, Hindu worship of deities is monotheistic polytheism and not simple polytheism.

Hindus declare that there is only one Supreme Being and He is the God of all religions. There is no "other God." Thus the Biblical Commandment "Thou shalt have no other God before me," really means, "Thou shalt not deny the Ultimate Reality or worship any power other than the Ultimate Reality."

Hindus view cosmic activity of the Supreme Being as comprised of three tasks: creation, preservation, and dissolution and recreation. Hindus associate these three cosmic tasks with the three deities, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Lord Brahma brings forth the creation and represents the creative principle of the Supreme Being. Lord Vishnu maintains the universe and represents the eternal principle of preservation. Lord Shiva represents the principle of dissolution and recreation. These three deities together form the Hindu Trinity.

One must clearly understand that Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are not three independent deities. They represent the same power (the Supreme Being), but in three different aspects. Just as a man may be called a doctor, father or husband based upon the tasks he performs, the Supreme Being is called Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva when conceived as performing the three different cosmic tasks of creation, preser-vation, and dissolution/recreation. "The oneness of the three gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva is brought out by the mystic symbol AUM where 'A' represents Vishnu, 'U' Shiva and 'M' Brahma."

Hindu religion is often labeled as a religion of 330 million gods. This misunderstanding arises when people fail to grasp the symbolism of the Hindu pantheon. According to the Hindu scriptures, living beings are not apart from God, since He lives in each and every one of them in the form of atman (BG 10.39). Thus each living being is a unique manifestation of God. In ancient times it was believed that there were 330 million living beings. This gave rise to the idea of 330 million deities or gods. Actually, this vast number of gods could not have been possibly worshipped, since 330 million names could not have been designed for them. The number 330 million was simply used to give a symbolic expression to the fundamental Hindu doctrine that God lives in the hearts of all living beings.

Answer 4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_deities

According to wikipedia, "Some other popular Hindu gods include Devi, Krishna, Ganesh, Hanuman[12], Murugan, Ramachandra and Lakshmi."
Though some Hindus, like Vaishnavas, believe that all of these gods are parts and parcels of the one true god, Vishnu.

Answer 5

To think of Hinduism as having many Gods is not accurate.

“ Truth is One, but sages call it by many names. (एकं सद विप्रा बहुधा वदन्त्य - ekam sad viprā bahudhā vadantya)
Rig Veda,1:164:46

Answer 6

There is ONE and ONLY ONE GOD in Hindu Religion.But the God is called by 1000s of names by devotees (Vipra Bahudha vadhanthi) as per God's attributes(Saguanam).---Only un-intelligent--.ignorant --Hindu bashers repeatedly are indulging in this type of spreading LIE. --Ganesa is not a God -but one of God's name--Gana+Eesa=Ganesa--the Lord of many kinds of Higher forms of Life.- Sura/ Asura/ Gandharva/ Yaksha/Raakshasa---Siva is not a God ,but God's one name Sivam=Mangalam=auspicious/benevolent----Vishnu is not a God --But one God's name "yaha Anthar Bahischitha Sarvam Vyaaptham Saha Vishnuhu"=the one who immanent inside and outside(the wholeUniverse) of a person is Vishnu.--Su+Brahmamanyam=Subramnayam(Kaarthikeya)=the auspicious God who alone knows the meaning of "Pranavam(OM) is Subramanyam---Bhasvara=the one who shines from His own internal energy is Bhaasvara(Sun) ---Latin,Greek,English word "Phosphorous" is "Plagiarism' of Bhaasvara.They are NOT different Gods --they are different NAMES of ONLY ONE GOD.
