Most Hindus don't give any thought to whether their religion is polytheistic, monotheistic, pagan, or whatever. The division exists for those outside the faith looking in and trying to understand or relate. [/quote]

How is this possible?

So then there's one god but many lesser gods?

What about Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth?  the goddess for Diwali
Do they believe she's real?  [/quote]

Yes, there is only one God, who is formless (nada brahma), with the vibration of OM. As mentioned above, this God is Ishvara, Brahman, etc. and is complete with no duality. Everything in existence comes out of this one God.

Do you have children? Are they lesser than you? That should answer your question about whether the other "gods" that Hindus pray to are lesser. If you have more than one child, are they all the same or do they have unique personalities and unique skills? Do you relate to them differently in different situations? That should answer why there are so many deities. Similar in concept to Catholic saints I think.

Yes, Lakshmi is real. Is Jesus real? There were no records of him during his lifetime. What then makes him real or not real? Who gives power to who?
