The idea of 'millions of gods' misunderstands the Hindu concept of Brahman - the one supreme consciousness. According to the Bhagavad Gita (10.8), all deities are manifestations of the same divine reality.
Different deities represent various aspects and functions of Brahman, much like how sunlight appears in different colors through a prism. The Upanishads clearly state 'Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti' - Truth is one, but sages call it by many names.
Modern physics similarly describes how seemingly different phenomena arise from unified underlying forces. The various deities help devotees connect with specific divine qualities while recognizing the underlying unity.
