Though Reality is the Principle underlying the Universe,as the Vedas,the sacred texts of the Hindus declare,God with name an form is worshipped.

Indian philosophy understands the limitations of the human mind and it is difficult for the Mind to concentrate on Abstract Principle, Hinduism Devised , as the step,the practice of God worship.

This worship of God with name and form is the first step.

Once this method along with procedures laid down for worshipone slowly transcends this step of worshipping God with name and form and move Higher.

And ,even at this level,the Worshipped God appears with the Name and Form addressed.

This aspect,one is unable to explain.

This type of worship is called Saguna Upasna, Worship of Reality with Attributes.

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna that He(Krishna) appears and grants the wishes of His Devotees in the Name and Form He is addressed.

So we have as many incidences and forms of Reality,God as human tendencies are.

God is worshipped as FatherMother,Son,Lover, Friend et al.

There are temples to commemorate these.

Rare is ,in fact the only one, the Thirukkozhundeeswara Temple,Thiruththinai,near Cuddalore,Tamil Nadu, India- Farmer Shiva!

An elderly man approached him .

The Devotee offered the elderly man food.
