I've seen it claimed how Hinduism has a bewildering array of deities, but every list I've found in English lists an incredibly small amoutn of deities by name, and not even Academia.edu is bringing up any new results. I was wondering if anyone had any idea where to look ?

I have no idea. Most of the time I browse the board I use my cell phone because it is more convenient and my computer is bad. I think it maybe because of the mobile formats???

WTF is this quote in a quote in quote. WTFFFFFFF 0_0 It's a quote inside of a quote Bill. Nothing very novel here XD That is unless you see more than 2 quotes, because there aren't more than that. |

Hukk, I forgot to add a lot of Hindu gods are merely aspects/incarnations of other gods. Vishnu has 9 incarnations; Buddha, Rama, and Krishna being 3 of them. Parvati has many, her most famous is Kali and Durga. I would love to give you resources on the subject if you want them.  |
