I think it is safe to say that even though Hinduism has many deities, however, they devote themselves to one god. Most people would say that it is contradictory. Therefore, it is reasonable to use that analogy when considering or understanding the 330 million deities of Hinduism. The rainbow of colors represent the 330 million deities and the one white light represent the single divine essence, in other words, “Brahman”. To better understand the analogy, according to the lesson it states, “These, gods, of course, are manifestations of Brahman…the gods permit a personal relationship between an individual worshipper and the divine via a particular deity” (Lesson 3, Page 15, Para. 5).

He is also seen comforting his mother, which will support the idea of him
