"You are the One Creator of all the worlds, and of that which moves and that which does not move, You alone are fit for worship, You are the highest teacher, in all the worlds there is none equal to You." [Bhagavad Gita 11:43] "Say He is God, the one and only, the Eternal One upon whom all depend, He did not give birth to anyone, nor was He born from anyone, and there is none comparable to Him." [Al-Qur'an 112:1-4]

"And your god is one GOD. There is none who has the right to be worshipped but HE, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful." [Al-Qur'an 2:163] The First Commandment is that God is One: “Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.” [The Bible, Mark 12:29]

It is only in our beautiful Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism), where by it is recognized that the ParaBrahman is the Adi ParaShakti, the Supreme  Mother Goddess Devi. Thus in our Sanatan Dharma, we accept the Supreme Mother as the One Goddess who is worshippable, who is the original creator, observer and destroyer of the whole universe.. I am proud to belong to the religion which accept the Supreme Divine as a Mother Goddess, unlike in Abrhamic religion which tend to enforce the God as HE.

"Did you know Sanatana Dharma talks about not worshipping idol and worshipping one God." Immigrant123 bro, just to clear some of the misunderstandings. Hindus dont worship idols. We worship Murtis. "The notion that the term murti is equivalent to the English word "idol" is a misconception. The scholar Steven Rosen notes that early European missionaries were largely responsible for conflating the two terms by informing local Hindus that "idol" was the correct translation for "murti". Furthermore, scholar Diana Eck explains that the term murti is defined in Sanskrit as “anything which has definite shape and limits; a form, body, figure; an embodiment, incarnation, or manifestation.” Thus, the murti is more than a likeness; it is the deity itself taken “form". The uses of the word murti in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita suggest that the form is its essence."Thus, a murti is considered to be more than a mere likeness of a deity, but rather a manifestation of the deity itself. The Murti is like a way to communicate with the abstract one God (Brahman) which creates, sustains, and dissolves creation." "Murti Puja is one of the core concepts of Sanatana Dharma. The literal meaning of murti is manifestation, something that has taken a concrete form. Murti without any prefix refers to devata murti or god-form. Thus murti is a representation (in a manifest, definite form) of god-form. Murti puja is worship of murti as a god-form, worship of god-form in the murti." "The devotee worships the deity (or devata) who is requested to reside in the vigraha (murti) for the duration of the worship. A murti usually is a concrete shape, having features attributed to the god-form. These are usually the physical attributes of the deity as described by the theology for the Devata. The murti has as many hands/legs/heads as spoken of in theology. Features like wearing snakes/garlands/having moon as adornment, the weapons they hold, are also reflected in the murti. " "But devata as such does not have a specific form or quality; these are not the physical attributes of devata. Devata being pure consciousness, these are the attributes that reflect the nature of that consciousness." "Puja or worship is a token of affection towards divinity. It is the ritualistic expression of devotion. The divine is the closest and the most private relative of man, and puja is a way to express one's gratitude to God, because all that he is is because of God. God causes our existence, and our evolution. It is not an expectation of God that we express anything to Him, for it does not matter to Him. But it is a necessity of man to realize his own insignificance in the cosmic game, as that is the way he can grow over all his miseries into infinite bliss. " "हिन्दु सनातन धर्ममा देवीले श्रिस्टी गरेको भनेर त पहिलो चोटी सुन्दै छु | " फ़िउल ट्यांक ब्रो, शक्तहरु आदि शक्ति (देवी मा ) लाइनै पर-ब्राह्मणको मेनीफेस्तेसन् मान्छन ! Shaktism "Shaktism is dynamic Hinduism. The excellence of Shaktism lies in its affirmation of Shakti as Consciousness and of the identity of Shakti and Brahman. In short, Brahman is static Shakti and Shakti is dynamic Brahman. In his seminal History of the Shakta Religion, N. N. Bhattacharyya explained that "[those] who worship the Supreme Deity exclusively as a Female Principle are called Shakta. The Shaktas conceive their Great Goddess as the personification of primordial energy and the source of all divine and cosmic evolution. She is identified with the Supreme Being, conceived as the Source and the Spring as well as the Controller of all the forces and potentialities of Nature. Nowhere in the religious history of the world do we come across such a completely female-oriented system."
