Can the basis of your belief be easily defined? Does a unique philosophy form the basis of your faith? What is the theoretical premise and practical expression of your God?

Many in India do not worship one God. Many of our people in India worship Shiva and Vishnu and Rama and Krishna or some other gods and goddesses. Some others believe in an 'Indestructible Soul' within each individual. We have broad contrasts of religion in India, with some exploring the 'Ultimate Reality' of life without looking to God. Seeking peace, harmony and liberation, many in India worship spirits, trees, animals, planets, sun, moon, rivers, and oceans. Some of the worship is expressed in the popular fairs, festivals and rituals such as Deepawali, Holi, Dussehra, Ganesh Chaturthi, Pongal, Janamasthmi and Shiva Ratri. And, while these festivals provide our unique cultural fabric and make our Indian tradition rich and colorful, we must pause and ask ourselves - do we truly seek, acknowledge, and know God?
