Hinduism is more accurately described as panentheistic, recognizing one supreme consciousness manifesting in multiple forms. The Bhagavad Gita (7.19) states that all divine forms are expressions of the same ultimate reality.
Various deities represent different aspects and functions of the supreme consciousness (Brahman). The Chandogya Upanishad explains this concept through the famous declaration 'Tat Tvam Asi' (That Thou Art).
This sophisticated understanding of divine unity expressing through multiplicity parallels modern physics' insights about the underlying unity of apparently diverse phenomena.
