Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the divine is the history of human thought. For as long as men and women have pondered the mysteries of their existence, they have answered their own questions with stories of gods and goddesses. Belief in these deities shaped whole civilizations, yet today many of their names and images lie buried. The Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities makes those names available to the general reader as well as the scholar. This reference work lists all the known gods through recorded history. Alphabetically arranged entries provide the name of each deity (with alternate spellings), as well as notes on names that may be linguistically or functionally related. The tribe or culture that worshiped the deity is identified, and the god's origins and functions are explained. An extensive bibliography provides opportunities for further research and an exhaustive index provides access to the entries through virtually all names, forms and kinds of deities.

Book excerpt: Encyclopaedia Of Gods And Goddesses Is A Vast Collection And Compilation Of Authoritative Information On Gods And Goddesses Worshipped In All Religions Of The World. The Concept Of Gods And Goddesses Has Developed In Different Ways In Different Settings Of Society.In Human Religious Experience, Hierophanies (Manifestations Of Sacred Power) Provide Centres Of Meaning, Order, Worship, And Ethics. Humans Have Always Felt That Real Life Is In Close Contact With Sacred Power As Encountered In The Form Of Divine Beings. Ideas And Experiences Of These Goddesses And Gods Thus Are Not So Much Intellectual Reflections As Existential Concerns, Revolving Around The Fundamental Human Question Of How To Live Authentically In This World. Gods And Goddesses Fit Most Aptly Into What Have Been Called Polytheistic Cultures, Where The Divine Reality Has Not Been Unified Into Monistic Or Monotheistic Systems.In Looking At The History And Morphology Of Diving Beings, Several Considerations Must Be Kept In Mind. First Of All, Even Though The Goddesses And Gods Of A Particular Society Necessarily Reflect The Values And Traditions Of That Society, It Is Misleading To Attempt To Set Up Direct Correspondences Between The Divine World And Human Society. Second, There Has Been Much Discussion Of The Original Function Of Certain Goddesses And Gods, In Contrast To Added Or Accumulated Functions. Typologies Of Gods And Goddesses Must Span Both The Historical-Cultural Data And The Morphological Possibilities Of These Divine Beings. Some Societies May Have Very Few Of The Possible Types, While Other Societies May Have A Very Full Representation Of The Various Forms Of Divinities. It Is Useful To Adopt Two Different Perspectives On Gods And Goddesses: A Cosmic Typology And A Social Typology. A Classification Of Gods And Goddesses Can Be As Follows:" Cosmic Gods And Goddesses" The Sky Gods And Goddesses" Meteorological Gods And Goddesses" Gods And Goddesses Of Social Functions" Creators And Guardians Of Society And Order" Gods And Goddesses Of Protection And War" Gods And Goddesses Of Esoteric Knowledge And Magic.This Continuing Series Is For The Benefit Of The Students, Teachers And Researchers As Well As Laymen Who Wish To Know About The Origin And Existence Of All The Gods And Goddesses Of World Religions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever there is degeneration of thought and increase in sin, I shall incarnate in different forms - Lord Sri Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita the Supreme Being has no form to protect the righteous and the virtuous. He has emerged in the many forms of gods and goddesses to guide and teach humanity to lead an ideal life. No major religion in the world can claim to have as many gods and goddesses as Hinduism. At the same time, no other religion has as many forms of worship and places of pilgrimage as do the Hindus. the plurality of gods and goddesses are not evidence of different streams of thought, neither are they there to create confusion: they fulfil a definite purpose. Each god and goddess is assigned a special responsibility. In their own sphere of activity, they are benevolent. Gods and goddesses emerge and thrive upon positive values like patience, tolerance, love and forgiveness and lead one to a path of truth, honesty and integrity.
