In the word's of Sri Arabindo
If Rig Veda says there is only one god, then who is the real god, Shiva or Vishnu?
Can you answer this question?
Answer
Shiva, Vishnu, Rudra, Ashvins etc are all gods , the different facets of One and only one god having domain over different aspects of existance. Shiva is the god of purity and peace. Vishnu is the god consciousness. Rudra is the god of punishment to the unjust and untruthful. Ashwins are the gods of beauty, balance and curing sickness etc. They are like different faces of the same person just as one is a father, a son , a husband, a friend or a enemy. Same person but different roles. You worship any in different aspects , but the same divine energy comprising all divine powers.God is one , faces are many .
