The oldest religion on this planet is Hinduism. Rather than seeing Brahman as pervading the universe, they speak of Brahman as wholly transcendent, describable in human terms only by saying what Brahman is not: It is not coarse, not fine, not short, not long, odorless, tasteless, without eye, without ear, without voice, without name, unaging, undying, without measure, without inside and without outside." This way of speaking stretches the mind beyond the available categories of the world to glimpse that which cannot be contained by human categories.
Hindus believe in one true power of the universe that they call Brahman. Therefore, the only god that protects the yajna and with which the brahman has to identify himself with is the deity of the mind - Moon or Chandra. The role of Gods in Hinduism as facets of everyday life has grown to such extent that Gods seem almost to be considered companions and friends.
