I now understand why the Hindu's have over over 300 names for God. It is not that they believe in 300 different Gods, they simply believe that any name for God serves as a temporary pointer to the one ultimate Godhead that is beyond definition. One's concept of God should change many times during the course of one's lifetime. They teach their children to start out with faith in a simple God and change Gods every few years as their understanding grows. Some of the names for God are not safe for neophytes to contemplate without considerable education and experience.
