Devotion
Meet the divine through many names and forms.
All eight deity pathways now have source-linked introductions: Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Hanumān, Śiva, Gaṇeśa, Devī, Viṣṇu, and Sūrya. Specialist review remains pending.
Śiva
Read a Śaiva introduction to Śiva, with a named source, theological vocabulary, and questions for further study.
Viṣṇu
Begin a study of Viṣṇu with a named introduction to Vaiṣṇava devotion, avatāras, and related textual reading.
Devī
Explore divine motherhood through Belur Math’s account, with a scripture reference and questions for further reading.
Gaṇeśa
Meet Gaṇeśa through Swami Sivananda’s teaching about beginnings, obstacles, and devotional relationship.
Kṛṣṇa
Meet Kṛṣṇa through a focused Gītā passage about divine manifestation, with links to devotion and further reading.
Rāma
Meet Rāma through Nārada’s introduction in Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa and follow the opening narrative with verse references.
Hanumān
Meet Hanumān through the Sundara Kāṇḍa’s ocean-crossing episode, with a named translation and questions about purpose and action.
Sūrya
Explore a sun-deity passage in the Bhagavad Gītā, with Vivasvān’s name, a named translation, and questions for further study.
How these pages will work
Each deity pathway will separate names and iconography, primary texts, devotional hymns, festivals, forms of worship, philosophical traditions and regional practice. A broad devotional overview will never substitute for the source behind a specific claim.
