Descend we now from the aspirations of philosophy to the religion of the

ignorant. At the very outset, I may tell you that there is no polytheism in

India. In every temple, if one stands by and listens, one will find the

worshipers applying all the attributes of God, including omnipresence. to

the images. It is not polytheism, nor would the name henotheism explain the

situation.

explanations.
