    Hindus believe in their 'one true God' Brahman, the creative principle who manifests all things, including a whole host of gods. With so many contradicting beliefs in God, claiming one version as 'the one true God' is essentially meaningless.

    Yes, Hinduism tends to obscure rather than enlighten as to who the true God is.In Hindu mythology Brahma is represented as the supreme deity. The Hindu trinity is composed of Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Siva the Destroyer. Together, the three composed the one god Brahm. It sought of reminds you of Christendom's adopted god.
    The more ancient Hindus had many gods. Indra was believed to be the greatest of all gods. His worshipers claimed that he slew the demon-god Vritra, thus proving his supremacy over the gods. Yama was worshiped as the god of death and is spoken of as the founder of paradise and the ruler of the golden age in the hereafter.
    Brahma although claimed to be the supreme god of the Hindus, is actually little worshiped, and it is said that in all India there are only two temples devoted to him. Vishnu, the second person of the Hindu trinity, receives the worship of millions. Siva, the third person of the trinity, is figured with a rope for strangling evildoers, with a necklace of human skulls, with earrings of serpents and with the sacred river Ganges on his head. Numerous temples are erected for his honor and worship. In India, cows, monkeys, snakes and boars are also considered sacred.
    The only God that has proved his supremacy throughout all the centuries is Jehovah. Of Jehovah, David wrote: ''All the gods of the peoples are worthless gods,But Jehovah is the one who made the heavens.'' - Psalm 96:5
