Which devas do you worship?

[Odion]

As the title says, which devas do you worship--whether full puja or merely occasionally chanting the mantra of?


For example, is Rama your ishtadeva, but you worship Ganesha, Krishna, and Parvati regularly? Do you worship any devas infrequently, but every now and then--for example, do you once every so often, chant the mantra of Skanda and Kali?


Do you have any less commonly worshipped devas, any asuras, or even non-Hindu deities that you worship?

These days, I mostly worship Kali, Shiva, and Ganesha.

[Gaura Priya]

Being that I have stopped believing in devas, or demigods, I just worship the Unmanifested, yet Personal Ishvara (which to me, is the same as Abha in the Baha'i Faith, or Jehovah, Allah,Waheguru, Ahura Mazda, etc.), yet at times, if I need to feel more Sanatani, I do end up being by default, a Vaishnava...

So I would chant names of Lord Vishnu, such as Krishna, Rama, etc.

Lord Ganesha, far as devas go (Hindu pantheon)

[Jacksnyte]

I would say that I practice Japa for Siva, Ganesha, and Murugan at present. I also offer service to Heru-Sa-Aset, and various Daemonic entities as well as Ellegua and Obatala. I have relationships with Sekhmet, Wesir, and Wepwawet.

[murugan]

From my childhood I worship Lord Murugan - the tamil god. Daily I chant the Murugan Mantras in the morning as my first duty.

Here is a Ganesha mantra I rather like

I don't exactly perform puja/worship to various gods. On the altar I have a picture of Radha and Krishna, accompanied by some gopis and I also have deities of Nimai and Nitai. But I grew up with the belief that Nimai and Nitai are simply different forms of Radha/Krishna and Baladeva. I've performed worship to various deities including Narasimha Deva. But again, this is considered a Vishnu avatar, non-different to Radha/Krishna, Nimai, Vishnu etc.

As a Gaudiya Vaishnava, I learned to pray to the Lord, the gods and gurus ( all those within the disciplic succession) AND my fellow devotee brothers and sisters. So at times I've prayed to Indra or Vayu for example.

These days I basically pray or think to Krishna. I don't do much physical puja.

I am particularly attached to both Krishna and Narayana and worship both forms together as one. Beyond that I worship the form of Vishnu in Sri Venkateshvara. Occasionally I also worship Shiva, Durga Ma, Ganga Ma, and Murugan.
