He alone prevails everywhere. Not an atom moves except by His will. Ga\u1e47e\u015ba, K\u0101rttikeya, Indra, Agni and all the 330 million Gods of Hinduism are beings just as we are, created by Lord \u015aiva and destined to en\u00adjoy un\u00adion with Him. The Gods are souls of high evolution. They are very old and mature souls, mighty beings who live in the \u015aivaloka. Though neither male nor fe\u00admale, they may be popularly de\u00adpicted as Gods and Goddesses. The devas are be\u00adnevolent beings of light abiding in the higher Antar\u00adloka. They help guide evolution from their world between births. The asuras are demonic be\u00adings of darkness, im\u00admature souls who temporarily in\u00adhabit Na\u00adraka, the lower Antarloka. Devas and asuras are usually subject to rebirth. We worship \u015aiva and the Gods. We neither worship the devas nor invoke the asuras. K\u0101rtti\u00adkeya, Ga\u1e47e\u015ba and all the Gods, devas and asuras worship \u015aiva. The Vedas explain, \u201cFrom Him, also, are born the Gods, in manifold ways, the celestials, men, cattle, birds, the in-breath and the out-breath, rice and barley, austerity, faith, truth, chastity and the law.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do Other Gods Exist Apart from \u015aiva? \u015aLOKA 21Supreme God \u015aiva has created all the Gods and given them distinct existence and powers, and yet He pervades them wholly.
