I learned about Hinduism in elementary school. our teacher gave each of us a different religion to right a report on and I got Hinduism. Lucky Bobby, he got Catechism and he was Catholic. They can no longer teach that class, but I liked it because it gave me a window into all of the religions and not be judgmental about others who do not believe in the same as you do.

things are a little more challenging up here in these 3 digit level. And as much fun as it was answering questions about TV shows I watched four million times when I was a kid I really have to think about this stuff. And no I don't look it up. I just use my own personal brains that I have handy at the moment.

Player LolaB, depends on which part of India. The north Indians usually will say Ganesh & the ones from south will say Ganesha.

It is a common belief among Hindus that Shiva struck head of Ganesha in anger as he didn't let him enter his home and Parvati insisted that she wanted her child back so Shiva searched everywhere and found Elephant as best head for his child.

Sir Elliott Fredric, Why do they no longer teach that class? I can only see it as a positive.

beebee, etymological roots of Deva mean "a shining one," from *div- "to shine," and it is a cognate with Greek dios "divine" and Zeus, and Latin deus "god" (Old Latin deivos).
