Dear Cornel,
Good, you have repeated what is being said: Hindu religion is not a
religion, but a way of life.
Every religion is a way of life.
About the so-called polytheism of Hindu religion, the great German
Indologist Max Müller would say
that it is not polytheism, but 'henotheism', that is, there is one God under
different modalities.
Hindu religion is eclectic--it takes elements (gods and goddesses) from
other religions and cultures.
The Trimurti is one example. 'God' expresses the divine power, which human
beings experience through creatures,
hence this divine power is worshipped in different creatures and under
different names. Myths are expressions of this process, stories of gods in
relation to the world. God is symbolized differently. Prayer is to the
Supreme Being.

Hi Eric
Pray which one? If you mean the Hindu religion, well it is not
supposedly a religion but a way of life!
