Most important gods of Hinduism Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha and Krishna

Hinduism

It is a religion that is practiced throughout the world, but is especially common in India and Nepal

According to ReligiousTolerance.org, there are more than 950 million Hindus in the world and 1.5 million of them practice in the United States. Hinduism recognizes one supreme deity, but incorporates a belief in many other gods as manifestations of that deity.

Brahma

Hinduism has a divine triad, headed by Lord Brahma, creator of the world, Shiva the destroyer and Vishnu the preserver. According to Hinduism, Brahma created the world and human beings from two halves of himself, one half of which was a woman and the other half a man. Brahma is the God of wisdom and has four arms and four heads from which the four Vedas or scriptures that underpin everything in Hinduism emerged. One of the main beliefs of Hinduism is that Brahma will be forced to recreate the world after Shiva destroys it.

Shiva

He is the God of destruction, not only physical and global destruction, but also the dissolution of ego and pride within a believer. Part of this destruction includes a denial of self and abandoning all earthly attachments. Shiva is a symbol of killing old ways in a believer in order to develop new ways of life and spiritual thought. Shiva, often depicted in a classic yoga pose, also represents meditation and calm and can take many forms, including a five-headed incarnation.

Vishnu

In the great Hindu trinity, Vishnu represents protection and preservation, a balancing force between Brahma's law of creation and Shiva's propensity for literal and figurative destruction. Hinduism teaches that there are equal forces of good and evil on earth and that sometimes evil gains an advantage that requires Vishnu to take human form and restore balance. Vishnu has 10 avatars or incarnations, nine of which have descended to earth to fight evil. The tenth and final incarnation, known as Kalki, is scheduled to manifest at a future date and will destroy the corrupted world to usher in a golden age. Vishnu is represented in human form, generally with bluish skin, and with four arms in which he carries a sharp disk or chakra called Sudarshana, which symbolizes the purified mind; a conch or shank called Panchajanya that represents the divine sound of creation, Om; a mallet or gada, Kaumodaki that shows that its power is the source of the mental and physical spiritual force with which the god destroys the illusory passions of man and a lotus flower or Padma, image of divine perfection and the development of consciousness spiritual.

Ganesha

Ganesha is another major Hindu deity, credited with the power to remove obstacles and grant wisdom and prudence. It is not uncommon for modern Hindus who own their own businesses or engage in business activities to seek Ganesha's blessings before starting their day. Ganesha is usually depicted as a burly man with a huge belly, four arms, and a distinctive elephant head featuring only one tusk. Ganesha is said to be the son of Shiva and his wife Parvati, a mountain goddess.

Krishna

Krishna is one of the incarnations of Vishnu, the eighth, and is the deity of divine joy and love that overcomes sin. One of Krishna's lasting legacies is the Bhagavad-Gita, translated as the song of God, which takes the form of a dialogue between a warrior named Arjuna, who is really Krishna, and a supreme being. In this dialogue, Krishna expounds great spiritual truths such as the distinction between the body and the soul, the distinction between the supreme being and the soul, and the meaning of life for all believers. Krishna is usually depicted with blue skin.
