Hindu Deities has evolved out of the need to give youngsters today a new approach to following religion. This book is not just for praising traditional customs, but also to show today’s youth that god has not a single name.

It aims to create awareness amongst the adolescents that Hindu religion is a very vast piece of a gigantic culture that we have been practicing from ages.
This is my first book. I have compiled 21 poems in it as it is believed that this is an auspicious number. With the name of the lord on my tongue and the support of all these role models I ask you to flip the page and start reading on with my first adventure.
