Deities

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

Just a curious thought.

 

We in Hinduism have a certain set of deities. In history we see that every

ancient culture had their own set of deities and rituals etc etc.

 

If deities are not universal and rather culture specific, are they a creation of

the people? But if they are a creation of the people, how do they have such

universal abilities/powers and also their avatarts. We have in Sanatana Dharma

many instances of amsa avatars of various deities taking birth.

 

What happens to the deities of a certain culture, once the culture has died and

there is no one to worship that deity? And why did not the ancient deities of

different cultures protect those cultures from anihilation?

 

Any thoughts on this would be interesting.
