Isn't it inaccurate to designate Hinduism as henotheistic ? The Devas in Hinduism are not considered full on Gods but only demi-gods .?
The Devas are only considered demigods , not full on Gods with a
The Devas are not full on Gods (with a capital g) but only demi-gods, just aspects of Brahman (God),therefore to worship one over the other is NOT Henotheistic , Because You are not worshiping one God with the believing in another God's existence, you are in reality only worshiping ONE GOD Brahman,and you only believe in ONE GOD, Brahman. and since Brahman is literaly everything than the village deities don't count either ,because they can't be full on God's ,ALL is Brahman!!
Every Hindu I have EVER met claims that they Really believe in ONE GOD ,Brahman and all the Devas are only aspects of Brahman, monotheism is BELIEVING in one God ,not just worshiping,to be Henotheistic you really have to be truly polytheistic ,believing in more than one God.
I seem to remember reading a Hindu priest saying as such that the Devas aren't really Gods,just demi-gods.
....Brahman is literally everything ,then the village deities don't count. if everything is Brahman and nothing isn't,can't be any other Gods,now can there?
...your not worshiping one God with believing in another God's existence...
...one God,Brahman, and all the Devas are only aspescts of Brahman..
