My name here is Haridas. In Hindi- Hari means the Lord and das means servant. So the name which is very common in India means- a servant of God.

The main branch of Hinduism is followed by Vedantis. All those who follow the Vedas.

Freebubbles asked me to tell about Lord Krisna.
Here is a brief story.

In this age that is called Kaliyuga, it is said by Lord thta if one recites- Rama , all the problems go away.

Interesting What is Rama?

Rama is Jesus.

If you do not take offense, I would request you to recite Rama .
Anytime you feel like. No mala, nothing.
Recite while doing anything.
It will surely make a difference in your health.

Yes. Just say RAMA over and over.
Let me know in seven days.

I think there many western-based pagans who read this forum, so this is a very interesting thread. But I wonder if some might find it a bit confusing.

As I understand it, some pagans choose a deity to work with. Some work with one deity only, and others may work with many depending on the situation.

Is it this varied in Hinduism - where someone might work with different deities at different times? Or is it family tradition based?

In terms of "working" with a deity - do many Hindus consider it in this way (ie, almost a two-way exchange in many cases), or is it more a sense of following and/or worshipping a deity?

I'm asking these questions in complete ignorance, so forgive me if they sound strange.

Elle-

You asked-

Is it this varied in Hinduism - where someone might work with different deities at different times? Or is it family tradition based?

Mainly family tradition based.

In terms of "working" with a deity - do many Hindus consider it in this way (ie, almost a two-way exchange in many cases), or is it more a sense of following and/or worshipping a deity?

I could not understand meaning of two-way.

Yes, many people worship a particular deity.

In Eastern India and Nepal, it is the Goddess.
In South India- Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna.
In West- Lord Ganesha.

Some people do not worship more than one deity while others worship all of them but more to one.
