There is currently a huge wave of interest in everything Vedic. More precisely, it began a long time ago, probably around the time of the Beatles’ interest in Vedic culture.
And many people have a question, especially those who believe in One God or in the One God: am I violating anything?
After all, believing that there are many gods is a serious violation of some religions.
Let me explain:
The Vedas recognize only one God. I have already spoken about this and always say it: One, the One.
Why, then, do the Vedas supposedly “speak of many gods,” as people now write on the internet?
Because people write incorrectly on the internet. More precisely, they misunderstand what is written.
The gods in the Vedas are ordinary living beings, but they have been granted immense abilities. In our world, there are rich people, poor people, influential people, and so on. Likewise, in the Universe there are beings who are stronger and weaker, more developed and less developed.
But none of them is equal to God—the One and Only who created EVERYTHING and rules over EVERYTHING. He is always One; He created the material world and the spiritual world. There may also be other worlds whose names we neither know nor even suspect.
Everything comes from Him, including all living beings—among them beings so highly developed and powerful that many call them gods.
Some call them angels or archangels.
The Vedas never say that there is anyone besides the One God.
But the Vedas say that God has many names, many Characteristics, Pastimes, Features, Moods, and so on.
And depending on His Mood or the Pastime He is engaged in, He is called by different names and perceived differently.
For example, a man. Someone calls him a friend, someone else a husband, father, or grandfather—different names. Moreover, his wife sees him differently from his son or grandmother...
But that does not mean that one man is different people or that there are many of him. He is one, but he plays many roles.
Therefore, the Vedas proclaim the principal Truth: God is One and the Only One.
Everyone else is His helper.
