Here we present extensive resources for understanding the 

concept of God in our sastra


Nannilam Rajagopala Ganapatigal



Our sastra accepts the existence of several Gods or deities, it accepts only one God, the Supreme.


The powers of these deities which are inseparable from them - just as the power of fire to burn cannot be separated from fire itself.  This power is  conceived in the form of  their consorts,  Sarasvati, Parvati (or Sakti) and Lakshmi.


Vedic deities are generally referred to as devatas.  These  Indra, for example is the king of all the devatas and rules the swargloka.

Agni and Surya (a planet deity) are also very important Gods of the Vedic era.  Yagna or Homa, or the ritual involving fire was a very important sacrament during the vedic period, during the homa, offerings were made to Agni.

In this section, we present a brief explanation of devatas.
