There are three supreme gods, though. Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. Also, the actual King of Gods in Indian mythology is Indra (that's actually the King's title, I believe; Indra talks about passing it on in the Mahabharata), and he only governs the non-supreme gods.Originally Posted by Ashton Drake

Shiva, Vishnu, Surya share the same worship rank.

Yea it's actually Indra. I forgot what his name was so I said Surya lol.
Ahem Ahem... ok it seems I have to reveal my secret to prove my point.. Im an indian born into a hindu family.. although Ive turned into sort of an atheist as of late but the stuff I read when I was a kid & the stuff I saw is temples speak for itself.
First Indra is King of gods like zeus yes.. but only in title, nobody listens to him cuz hes a retard. Everybody respects & worships Shiva because he is wise & most of all strong & powerfull & kick indras arse.. BTW Shiva ascended to godhood, he was a human before, his name means the "chosen one".
Vishnu does not hold a position of power among the gods but he is regarded highly & worshipped in many temples because time & time again vishnu has come down to earth in different avatars to save mankind(most notably Krishna)
Same goes for Brahma Who Created the world but He is not worshipped much.
So now power rankings depending on popularity..
Lord Shiva the destroyer is worshipped almost in every temple in India. After that comes shiva's wife, Mother of Godessess Durga ( she was a human before named parvati who worshipped & loved shiva)They are often depicted loving each other in erotic manner & thus population problem in india LOL(too much sex).
After that most worshipped are their children.. google em yourself...
After that it might be tied between Krishna Avatar of Vishnu & The new gods in the bloc(xD) based on the book/story/epic Ramayana, which are Ram(the protagonist) and Hanuman(dont know much about dis monkey.. hes strong.. can lift a mountain.. son of Monkey king)
But regardless who is worshipped or not, hinduism has 3 basic principles & gods for it
God of Creation - Brahma
God of Preservation - Vishnu
God of Destruction - Shiva
And Finally.. Yes I do eat curry rice & its good. But I mostly Eat Indian Bread(they are a kind of flatbread) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_bread
Their fate was decided the day they were saved by a man in the fire.. Nothing could've changed it.
But what about yours?
Fate is never final
Be grateful for the life you have & live it in the best possible way you want it to.
What....are you talking about? And what exactly is your point from posting these?
He's trying to apply Nasuverse's fame boost logic to Hindu gods, I believe. Or something. Either way, the big three don't give enough of a crap about other gods to qualify for kingship. The closest would be Vishnu, who's the big daddy everyone goes to when they can't sort out their problems themselves.
Whole purpose of this was to tell you that Indra King of Gods is a piece of shit and short tempered retard and is no match in strength compared to all other gods mentioned and is not worshipped anywhere.
And in Nasuverse Servants are ranked based on their popularity. Thats what I meant by their power rankings
And I mentioned Curry Rice because thats the question I get asked all the time..

Well he definitely has the fame factor. Most Nasuverse heroic spirits aren't worshipped by anyone anyway but are still popular/famous and important in myth or history so that gives them a boost. And Indra is a major player in myth at least.
Indra, Surya etc are deities of elements and natural phenomena, so I guess it's to be expected that deities of more relatable stuff like fertility or luck get more devotees.
Solar deities tend to be one of the most popular and powerful in a lot of pantheons.
Yeah but we're talking about this pantheon.

P sure Ganesha has more devotees and is more widely worshipped than the solar deity. I could be wrong.
I don't care about his power level or what he is like in real legend, why are you telling these to me?
Karna called him "kamigami no ou" during his NP chant, that is his title. All I said is that the list is missing the one with that title. I never said anything about his power, so don't drag me into this powerlevel debate lol.
Rama never got to be a king, correct? I know Bharat was king when they were after Sita but not sure if he gave up the seat to Rama later or not.
Pretty sure he gets called/calls himself the King of Kosara.
which means I forgot another king, fuck
Rama was crowned the king of Ayodhya once he came back from exile.
Also Bharata considered Rama to still be the king while in exile, and himself a viceroy.
O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed you have not already collapsed in ruin.
And so is Lightning. The Thunder/Sky Gods tend to be the chief god or the most powerful/popular gods in many mythologies. Sees Indra, Zeus, Thor, Horus
And we should call Raikou King of Thunder teehee
is drake king of the pirates then
She didn't find One Piece so no.
OK LOL... And yeah Indra is god of Weather & war and King of heaven.. the similarity with norse gods is very uncanny lol
