How do we categorize Hinduism? Monotheistic: According to Hindus, there is only one divine entity who is simultaneously at one with the universe and who transcends it as well. Hinduism recognizes only one supreme God: Brahman. Brahman is the ultimate reality.

How do we categorize Hinduism? Polytheistic: Hindus worship multiple deities: gods and goddesses. Trinitarian: Brahman is simultaneously visualized as a triad: one God with three persons 1. Brahma: the Creator 2. Vishnu: the Preserver 3. Shiva: the Destroyer

How do we categorize Hinduism? Henotheistic: Hinduism recognizes a single deity and recognizes other gods and goddesses as facets, forms, manifestations, or aspects of that supreme God.
