There are three main deities or gods in Hinduism namely, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva and three main Goddesses, Mata Parvati, Mata Laxmi, and Mata Saraswati. Most of the other Gods are incarnations or other forms of Vishnu and Shiva and Goddesses are also incarnations or other forms of Devi Parvati.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The concept of God or Goddess in Hinduism is different from that of monotheistic religions. The Gods of most cultures in Asia are icons of excellence to be emulated. Each represents a strength of human character. Yet, they are not absolutes and may be questioned.

Supreme divine power in Hinduism is Para Brahman. It is formless and gives life to all things. Different forms of supreme Brahman (called Avatars) are worshipped by various Hindu sects.

The unique understanding in Hinduism is that God is not far away, living in a remote heaven, but is all-pervasive and energizes the entire universe. He is also inside each soul, waiting to be discovered. Knowing the one Supreme God in this intimate and experiential way is the goal of Hindu spirituality.

Supreme God

The three gods who started creation are Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva.

Shiva is the supreme God of Hinduism. Most Hindus worship him as the Supreme Being, though by different names. This is because the peoples of India with different languages and cultures have understood the one God in their own distinct way.

Regional and family traditions can play a large part in influencing this choice. Through history four principal Hindu denominations arose - Vaishnavism, Shaktism, Shaivism, and Smartism.

For Vaishnavites, God Vishnu is God Of Supreme, For Shaktas, Goddess Shakti is supreme, For Shaivites, God Shiva is Supreme. For Smartas-who see all Deities as reflections of the One God-the choice of Deity is left to the devotee.

Most Hindus worship some form of a personal aspect of God, although they believe in the more abstract concept of a Supreme God as well.

Hindus also believe in other deities. They are referred to as Deva (masculine) and Devi (feminine). The root of these terms means "heavenly, divine, anything of excellence".

Devas and devis should not be confused with the Supreme God. These deities have distinct personalities and powers, yet are often viewed as different aspects of Brahman. They are often represented in human form or partially human and partially animal forms. Sometimes they are also represented as non-living things and plants. In ancient and medieval era texts of Hinduism, the human body is described as a temple, and deities are described to be parts residing within it.

In Hinduism the scriptures recommend that for the satisfaction of a particular material desire a person may worship a particular deity. For example, shopkeepers frequently keep a statue or picture of the devi Lakshmi in their shops.

Devas constitute an integral part of the colorful Hindu culture. These various forms of God are represented in innumerable paintings, statues, murals, and scriptural stories that can be found in temples, homes, businesses, and other places.

Each denomination worships the Supreme God and its own set of divine beings.

Avatars of Hindu deities

Hindu mythology has nurtured the concept of Avatar. Avatar is commonly translated as " incarnation" and represents the descent of a deity on earth.

The concept of Avatar is most developed in Vaishnavism tradition, and associated with Vishnu, particularly with Rama and Krishna. Vishnu takes numerous avatars in Hindu mythology. Various texts discuss the idea of Avatar of Vishnu appearing to restore the cosmic balance whenever the power of evil becomes excessive and causes persistent oppression in the world.

Temple and worship

In Hinduism, deities and their icons may be hosted in a Hindu temple, within a home or as an amulet. The worship performed by Hindus is known by a number of regional names, such as Puja.

The Puja practice is structured as an act of welcoming, hosting, honoring the deity of one's choice as one's honored guest, and remembering the spiritual and emotional significance the deity represents to the devotee.

Deity worship, visiting temples and Puja rites are not mandatory and is optional in Hinduism; it is the choice of a Hindu, it may be a routine daily affair for some Hindus, periodic ritual or infrequent for some.

Iconography

Hinduism has an ancient and extensive iconography tradition, particularly in the form of Murti. A Murti is itself not the god in Hinduism, but it is an image of god and represents emotional and religious value. Just like the photograph of a person is not the real person, a Murti is an image in Hinduism but not the real thing, but in both cases the image reminds of something of emotional and real value to the viewer. When a person worships a Murti, it is assumed to be a manifestation of the essence or spirit of the deity, the worshipper's spiritual ideas and needs are meditated through it.

A Murti of a Hindu deity is typically made by carving stone, wood working, metal casting or through pottery. Medieval era texts describe their proper proportions, positions and gestures. They are found in Hindu temples or homes, where they may be treated as a beloved guest and serve as a participant of Puja rituals in Hinduism.

Today's a day to celebrate India, and what better way than to remember all the times we've contributed to the scientific and technological advancement of the human race.

Let's celebrate some of the ancient Indian mathematicians, engineers, and scientists that made the world a better place.

Ancient Dentistry (7000 BC)

According to historians, the Indus Valley Civilization has revealed evidence of dentistry being practiced as far back as 7000 BC. One dig site in Mehrgarh even showed evidence of healers curing tooth disorders with bow drills.

Ayurveda (5000 BC)

Ayurveda, obviously, came from the Indian subcontinent, having been tracked as far back as 5000 BC. Therapies generally include complex herbal compounds, minerals and metal substances.

Ancient flush toilet systems (2500 BC)

Another feature of the Indus Valley Civilization was water-flushed toilets. Both in Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, almost every home had a flush toilet, connected to a sophisticated sewage system.

Ruler (2400 BC)

Areas of the Indus Valley Civilization in both now-Pakistan and Western India have had rulers of ivory uncovered from ruins. One such specimen was even calibrated to 1/16 of an inch-less than 2 millimeters. Tese kinds of rulers were clearly very prominent, as even bricks of the valley's buildings were found to follow the same measurements.

Weighing scale (2400BC)

The earliest existence of weighing scales also date back to between 2400 BC-1800 BC in the Indus valley civilization, where balances were used to compare measure and compare goods in trade.

Plastic surgery (2000 BC)

Historians believe plastic surgery was being carried out in India as early as near 2000 BC. To clarify, plastic in this phrase doesn't refer to the petroleum byproduct but to plastikē or "the art of modelling" malleable flesh. Eventually, it was ancient Indian physician Sushruta who was credited with being the father of plastic surgery around 600 BC, whose books and teachings eventually made their way to Europe centuries later.

Pythagorean theorem (700 BC)

Mesopotamian, Indian and Chinese mathematicians all discovered Pythagoras' namesake theorem independently long before he ever did. In India, the Baudhayana Sulba Sutra between about 800 BC to 500 BC contains a statement of the Pythagorean theorem as well as geometrical proof for an isosceles right triangle.

Crucible steel (200BC)

Historians now know that by at least 200 BC (a conservative estimate) South India was producing high quality steel, using a method Europeans would later call the crucible technique. Wrought iron, charcoal, and glass were mixed together and heated until the iron melted and absorbed the carbon, forming high grade steel.

Cataract surgery (200 AD)

Indian physicians were known to practice a different kind of cataract surgery that that known to the Greeks in about 200 BC. It was performed with a tool called the Jabamukhi Salaka, a curved needle used to loosen the lens and push the cataract out of the field of vision. Greek scientists of the time travelled to India to see these surgeries, and the technique was even introduced into China from our country.

Spinning wheel (500 AD)

This mechanised method of spinning yarn was invented in India, between 500 and 1000 AD, eventually replacing hand spinning across the world. The Charkha, as it came to be called, eventually went on to become the symbol of India's independence movement.

Earth's orbit (700 AD)

Hindu cosmological time cycles found in the Surya Siddhanta, written between 700 BC to 600 AD, give the time it takes the Earth to revolve around the Sun at 365.2563627 days. This is just a miniscule 1.4 seconds longer than the modern value of 365.256363004 days, and was the most accurate estimate in the world for over a thousand years.

People worked very hard in ancient Egypt. Everybody had a job. In ancient Egypt, women could work at a job outside the home as well. Jobs included bakers, priests, noblemen, soldiers, farmers, merchants, fishermen, hunters, craftsmen, artists, and scribes. There were many professions in ancient Egypt, most of which were inherited. For the most part, whatever job your father had, you had. If he was a farmer, when you grew up, you would become a farmer. Other inherited jobs included doctors, teachers, bakers, fishermen, herders, boatmen, administrators, and traders.

But there were a couple of professions that could help you move up the social ladder. One was to become a scribe, the people who wrote things down. The other was to become a craftsman or an artist if you were talented. Anyone could join the army. Thanks to Egypt's natural barriers, Egypt had little need for a large army. The army protected the delta region and the area to the south. They army also settle local differences.

The biggest job of all was that of Pharaoh. Pharaoh's job was to take care of his people. Pharaoh made laws, collected taxes, defended Egypt from invasion, and was the high priest. Pharaoh owned everything in ancient Egypt. But of course, he did not do all these jobs himself. Pharaoh had many helpers, called administrators. His most important administrators, his right hand man, was called the Vizier.

People worked very hard in ancient Egypt. Everybody had a job. In ancient Egypt, women could work at a job outside the home as well. Jobs included bakers, priests, noblemen, soldiers, farmers, merchants, fishermen, hunters, craftsmen, artists, and scribes. There were many professions in ancient Egypt, most of which were inherited.

Tuthmosis represented in a frieze

Ancient Egypt was an ordered society with a distinct hierarchy. Yet things were beginning to change.

The demands of an expanding empire offered opportunities for the educated and the skilled to be upwardly mobile.

The social order

The class structure in Egypt was extremely rigid: everyone knew where they stood in society and most accepted their position. At the top of the tree was the pharaoh, an almost god-like figure who stayed aloof from his people. Underneath him were Egypt's social elite, the nobles, who effectively governed Egypt for the pharaoh.

Lower down were the educated professional classes, such as scribes, accountants and doctors. Beneath them were the workers and craftsmen, like soldiers and builders. At the very bottom were the slaves and servants, as well as farmers who worked on land owned by the pharaoh and the social elite.

Reading and writing

Before the New Kingdom era, your status was dictated by that of your father and ancestors. Movement between social classes was almost impossible.

But as the empire grew, Egypt needed more educated men to run it properly. There was a massive increase in the professional, educated classes and this enabled bright young Egyptians to move up the social ladder.

Opportunities for all?

The empire provided new opportunities for many. The need to conquer and then control new countries put new responsibilities onto the army. Professional soldiers became more respected and better paid.

The vast amounts of money pouring into Egypt also led to a huge increase in the number of temples, which gave priests much more power. This money was also used to build magnificent new tombs and temples: an entire village - Deir el-Medineh - was constructed to house the skilled workers who would build these tombs.

The more things changed...

Although the empire did bring some social change, much stayed the same. Peasants and servants remained at the bottom of the heap. And although women were highly respected and enjoyed many legal rights, they were still largely confined to the home, tending to children and housework. Egypt was changing, but it wasn't changing that much.

Students have been instructed to please select religions or belief systems that their parents will be comfortable with them researching. Please discuss your child's world religions project with them. They will be incorporating stories, lessons, and/or sacred texts from three religions and could use your guidance in selecting ideas for research. I have told every class explicitly that they must get their choices approved at home.
