Hindu views on Evolution

0 comments
It is much in vogue that Hinduism is a polytheistic due to multiplicity of deities.There is bewildering diversity in Hinduism and thus, some belief - theistic, atheistic and agnostic - rests on a solid unity i,e "Ekam sath, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti", says the Rig Veda: The Truth (God, Brahma, etc) is one, scholars call it by various names.If you are searching for the answer of "Multiplicity of deities" then here is the answer, the multipicity of deities indicates the Hinduism's spiritual hospitality as evidenced by two characteristically Hindu doctrines:- The Doctrine of Spiritual Competence (Adhikaara) and the Doctrine of The Chosen Deity (Ishhta Devata). The doctrine of spiritual competence requires that the spiritual practices prescribed to a person should correspond to his or her spiritual competence. The doctrine of the chosen deity gives a person the freedom to choose (or invent) a form of Brahman that satisfies his spiritual cravings and to make it the object of his worship. It is notable that both doctrines are consistent with Hinduism's assertion that the unchanging reality is present in everything, even the transient.
