Brief Analysis:
Logics given by believers of this myth areas follows:
(b). Even Vedas claim that there is only one Ishwar and not more than that.
Logic 2: Vedic suktas have names of Devatas associated with them. These are the various Gods and
Goddesses.
Refutation: The name of Devata associated with V
edic mantras refer to the subject of that particular
sukta. That has nothing to do with various Gods and Goddesses in conventional sense. There are 33
devatas referred in Vedic texts, but this isalso clearly elucidated that these refer to inanimate objects
and not worth being worshipped. Vedas clearly proclaim that Paramatma is One and He alone is to be
worshipped.
But Devata is not the goal of Worship, only Paramatma is, and Vedas are extremely clear on this.
